Some of the first sites I ever built were on Geocities, Angelfire, Tripod, etc.

I wish I could find them they gotta be up somewhere, this was like 10+ years ago though.

My first ever site (which actually wasn't porn) was on them. I stopped updating it when it was bought by Yahoo and I couldn't get logged in.

Wow... I started my first site on Geocities about 8 years ago. Tripod was another favorite of mine and some of my old celeb sites were still active until a few months ago...

Yeah, remember the horrible blink tag, and when the browsers first stopped supporting it. What a relief! And Geocities, all those horrible pages, when one had to learn tables, hexadecimal colors and so on. Oh, those were the days!

geocities heralded the age of the Web 2.0 free pages/parasite hosts. Another honorable mention goes out to TERRA.ES for being "kind" enough to host MGP clips back in the days when hosting cost an arm and a leg.

I remember showing my wife in 2006 some geocities porn pages I made in 2000 (at the age of 17)... I was happy they were still up so I could show my progression and shit. Shoulda made some screen caps.

I can't believe they removed that much early internet content. There were sites on there dating back 10+ years.

I doubt it, but maybe everything will end up on Archive.org.

Needless to say, I had offloaded some clips on terra.es in one of my countless accounts there.

Thanks for the blast from the past.
