Meteo Xavier Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Mr. T was the undisputed master of omnipotence before some brats started throwing around Chuck Norris jokes. Well, he wasn't really that undisputed then, was he? Quote
The Coop Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 It's October 27th, and my site is still there. Did someone forget to flip the switch? Quote
The Damned Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 Yeah,I saw that... maybe all the techs at Yahoo are busy waiting for the L4D2 demo to unlock? Quote
The Coop Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 A little late, but Geocities is officially no more. Quote
Monobrow Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 There goes "Katie's Page of Fun" It was all rainbow colored! Quote
Dhsu Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 I was going to gloat that my Angelfire site is still up but then I realized that this, in fact, may not be a good thing. OH GOD DON'T LOOK AT ME. Quote
Native Jovian Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 You shall always be remembered in our hearts for the .txt trick. Hahahahaha, YES! I'm far too lazy to put up anything like a website, but even I remember the .txt trick! Quote
Strike911 Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Man... GeoCities. Rest in peace. You encouraged me by granting me a whopping 10MB of space for all my crappy Netscape Composer machinations in 1997. Quote

Zup Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 II'm sorry dshu I can't stop laughing Quoted for emphasis. Quote
RedFusion Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Omg geocities! That was so 20th century. Quote
Gollgagh Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 uploading an image but changing the extension to .txt and linking to the image offsite it "allowed" offsite linking Quote
M W Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I must admit I am rather saddened by the news. As horrible as our websites all were, I simply wouldn't be as knowledgable in HTML as I am today with the experience I got on Geocities. These days, people can be daffy on the internet without having to be trained in doing it. Terrible, ar? I may be an idiot, but at least I'm a certified idiot. Quote
ZealPath Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Wow, I hadn't really even thought too much about my old Geocities site. I basically gathered midis from around the Internet from popular snes rpgs and one day in say... 1997 decided to make a site for them. I organized them by game, wrote a little writeup from where you hear it in the game, and it was actually kinda cool, and fun at the time. I think I had a small following of like 10 people from the randomest places, which was cool I guess, I really just did it cause I wanted to, and back then I actually thought I wanted to get into web design (now... not so much).
