Goodbye, Geocities

[Onkel Neal]

So long, old friend.

I had several submarine websites on GeoCities, to save space from the early days.

Facebook, some day this could be you!

[XabbaRus]

My second site was on there.

Shame, so how many other free hosting sites are there?

I don't want to have to set up a Facebook page if I don't want to.

end of an era.

Brimming with blinking, moving, garishly colored text and animated dancing cats, GeoCities made MySpace look like a bastion of elegance and restraint.


:haha:

I wasent even aware that yahoo had bought them up. I suppose you could have seen the writing on the wall at that point.

I had a geocities account! :oops:

[Oberon]

I had one too, grabbed the stuff from it a few months ago when I heard that it was folding up.

I've had a few personal websites (which I left rot) but I never used Geocities. 15MB with ads just wasn't competitive by the time I used it.

[Torplexed]

Oh well, at least EZ Board which was one of the first incarnations of this forum is still around, although I think it's now called Yuku.

[Syxx_Killer]

Wow. That's definitely an end to an era. My first website was on Fortunecity, but my other two were on Geocities. Back then I liked the website editor a lot better with Geocities than Fortunecity. I remember one website was dedicated to the old computer game Super Off-Road. Another was for a squadron for NovaLogic's F-22 Lightning 3.

Wow! It is an end of an era indeed! I guess it shows how far we have come from the early days of the internet.
