Geocities to go bye-bye.

May 21, 2009 17:30:31 Yeah, back in the day when you had to write all your blogging code yourself or update manually.

Huh. I don't use it, but it's kinda weird to hear that it's going down.

May 22, 2009 14:54:07 Yeha, but it was all free for the most part. Same with Angelfire and Fortune cities before the ads really got horrible.

May 23, 2009 11:52:56 Ahh, the memories. Can't say I'm sad it's gone, the quality went downhill a decade ago when Yahoo bought them out. But ages ago, it was the place if you wanted a easily made website to brag about your pets and CD collection...now there's myspace for that. Of course, I was partial to Angelfire, even though it became ad-laden and unusable after awhile, back in the day, it was good...

May 23, 2009 11:56:00 Whoa...because of this thread, I decided to see if my geocities account from the mid-90's was still active...yep, it's still there, wasting space! I think I'm going to mess around with it a bit...

Edit: Only 4.2 MB transfer/hour? How did I live with that? Gah!!!!!!

May 23, 2009 19:49:00 I don't think geocities ever killed a website that someone put up. Angelfire tosses stuff out all the time, Fortunecity looks to keep things up for the long run...
