Goodbye, Geocities

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.

This post is a tribute to Geocities.

May it's horrible formatting, bright
colours and tacky .gifs never leave
the internet archive.

If I could fill the
background bright
yellow I would.

Suddenly I don't feel very nostalgic for Geocities.
