Goodnight Geocities
 

Today is the day Geocities is turned off. Thank you for launching the porn webmastering careers of so many of us :)

Check out http://xkcd.com/654/ today ..so true :1orglaugh

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.

Ah I remember the days of my first Angelfire pages..

So long, Geocities...

LMFAO love it

I personally enjoyed trolling through West Hollywood and seeing everyone post their crossdressing pics. Today, they all are on YouTube :)

God, I almost forgot that it was done as neighborhoods...lol

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...

never used it, bought my own hosting as soon as i figured out how to ftp LOL

no more geocities? no more annoying, but "tolerable" (because you don't have a host) Ads....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :upsidedow

Tripod is still around..every now and then we have a new webmaster signup and try to build their sites on Tripod.

Wow.. the end of an era! Kinda sad, in a way.

Wow, blast from the past. I'll add xoom.com to that.

:upsidedow:upsidedow

very very sad indeed

I feel like a small part of my childhood is dying today along with geocities! I'll miss those horribly designed sites! :)

yeah I had my start in there too... :)

Oh, it's turned off? By the way, I thought Geocities didn't allow porn.

When I think about geocities I hear modems trying to connect in my head.

Childhood? Thanks, now I feel REALLY old. :1orglaugh

Back in the day everything was too new for rules ;)

RIP Geocities, Neon colors and <blink>Text</Blink>

Oops! Sorry didn't mean to make you feel old! :)
Makes me feel old thinking about those old sites! Seems like forever 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! :)

Myspace profiles all look like they were designed by Geocities pros.

It's the end of an era. Did Yahoo make any money with it?

brings back memories for sure :thumbsup

hahaha reminds me of my 2400 baud modem in my dads 386.... the good ol days!

I'll miss Geocities. :(

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.

why did they close geocities?!

memories....

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. :Oh crap

good night sweet prince

agreed, time goes by fast

yes, that's why they closed it down :upsidedow

2400 ..I remember being insanely happy when my parents let me step up to 2400

first webpage i built was on angelfire :)

I remember looking up weird movie fan sites and craft tutorials that were just text with no pictures. The net didn't seem so infinite back then.
