    Re: RIP Geocities

    Geocities gave me my first experience with website building.

    Ah, the inexperienced years of my teenage era.

        Awesome.

        I made this with a friend of mine when we first started using computers, took us about a week or so, few hours a day to get the hang of it.

          So I'm going to take a wild guess and say the GoDaddy basically ****ed Geocities over with all their advertising and lowball pricing?

          *looks it up*

          ...Oh, just as a cost-cutting method? Outdated technology? Poor graphics? Low relevancy? How boring. Where's the controversy? Way to go Yahoo; you wasted a perfectly good chance to smack around some people and blame shift.

              I'm happy that it's gone, but I will miss it. Okay, that was a lie, I won't really miss it, but we are losing all that crappy history...

                  EDIT: ****, it's not up anymore. XKCD was redesigned GeoCities style. Animated gif's everywhere, broken image links, embedded mp3's.

                    Geocities was ****ty, but it's arguably where I started experimenting with HTML.

                        I loved Geocities, and it was where I learned to actually start using HTML. I learned a lot from that site, just frigging around with codes and stuff. It was easy and simple to use.

                          Oh god I wonder if my DBZ RPG from 9 years ago is still there. Can you still sign in, or is it all down?
