It is clearly a word play, but I guess their question is whether or not the old = alt connection was made or not.
(Of course the alta in Altavista is from Spanish "high", but that doesn't really change anything)

The rhyming is good, making "Oldavista" a generic wordplay that is merely more obvious to find for German speakers, and the name is insignificant compared to the effort of reproducing the whole Altavista page.
