The Damned Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Yes, today marks the last day of existence for Geocities. All those little sites with their little content, all gone. Oh no, that includes my Mr. T Versus Jigglypuff page! Go see it now before it's gone forever! All my hard work in May 2000 will never be seen again! Come on, some of you also had Geocities pages. Admit it. It was free, easy and fast to set up. Dig them up while you still can, and share your terrible, horrific design and content.

Palpable Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 My 1996 U2 fan page has long been taken off geocities, but I still have some nostalgia for those days. xkcd.com has a pretty accurate homage today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level 99 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 ACK! XKCD!....the star background animation, the code, the broken jpgs, the cheesy gifs, the default font abuse, and under construction....brings a tear to my eye. *sniffle* WHERE WILL I HAMSTERDANCE NOW?!?

Schwaltzvald Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Plenty of nostalgia for me, heck I remember a friend showing me where he got a bad midi of one-winged angel off one of those sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalzon Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Back in 2002, my friend and I were big into RPG Maker 2000 and 2003. We'd both work on semi-ambitious projects that almost never got done (and when they did they were often rushed at the end and terrible all-around). We decided to make a site for RPG Maker resources and chose Geocities. It had the most ridiculous, never-find-it-on-your-own title of rpgmegamaniacs (his idea, not mine). It's gone now, but at least I can claim our site didn't do anything overly garish, like have copious amounts of animated gifs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcana Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I used to have a FInal Fantasy VII web page that drew at least half a million hits between 1997 and 2001. Some time in 2008 Tripod randomly took it offline and I didn't have it backed up for me to put it back online again It was a part of a number of web rings and partners (such as guestbooks and counters) that eventually all went away before the actual site itself went away. I still am kind of sad that it disappeared (and never really made it into archive.org either). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwaltzvald Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 So hey how about making some crummy pages on tripod and angelfire huh? Surprisingly though both are currently owned by Lycos... wow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duskvstweak Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 My goodness, I had forgotten all about Geocities. I had a video game review site back in 2000. I reviewed five whole games! The things we have done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuketheXjesse Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Explain your statement. This is quite possibly one of the most random concepts I've ever come across. And the story itself is even more random (though quite funny). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramaniscence Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 http://geocities.com/kefkaatma/Index2.html circa 1998 Don't judge me. Also: I never got over that red and black thing >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteo Xavier Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 GeoShitties 1995-2009. - that's all I'm meaning here, just silliness. I just remembered I had an old GeoCities page from, like 11 years ago? before I was using the Meteo X handle. I wouldn't have a clue how to access it now. I wonder what I put on it...
