Ahhh. Geocities…i found a lot of good anime and emulation sites there back then when sites like animepaper wasn’t around yet. T’was my source for all the anime info and media goodies that I loved. I don’t think I’ll miss you but I’ll definitely remember you and feel nostalgic about it every time I do.

@usagijen: Oh wow. scans of Sakura and Ruriko…those are one of my fave animes of all time. <3 Ruriko. heheh

I found xkcd’s parody of Geocities quite on-the-spot and amusing.

Unfortunately, despite the memories we have of Geocities, Tripod, and Lycos, I can safely say that nothing of value was lost.

I use to have a GeoCities account as well back in my high school days. My site is titled ‘movie time’ and contains my crudely written movie reviews. That really takes me back.sign.

GeoCities man, that takes me back. It takes me back to a time where people half-constructed their websites, never finishing them. For one thing Neopets was the bomb, then it bombed in terms of my priorities, because I had school and stuff.

My most cherished Geocities memory was getting a first glimpse at Star Wars Galaxies: a game I really wanted to play but never did. Once I found out it was a dodgy MMO I soon realised the dream of playing as a Wookie turned into leaves upon waking.

I was around either 8 or 9 when I first encountered Geocities, the same time I encountered the internet for the first time. Man, I missed half the fun because I wasn’t old enough to appreciate what a crazy period I was living in!

I think there was only one place I ever went on Geocities and that was Minas Anor (http://www.geocities.jp/arwen_eriko/). I do recall the html and css of lulz, though I never really started tinkering with that stuff until around 2002 (I didn’t learn to program in C until early 2004… weird I never found real interest in web-dev… I just enjoyed my music and mathematics).

With the fall of these type of sites, it’s a bit strange, but somewhat refreshing… hopefully all those who cared about their content may re-create or replicate it with newer web-concepts. Revitalization ^^

I found some Javascript to remove the watermark. It ruined my design.

Oh Geocities, with your horrible javascript watermark in the bottom right corner, you will (sorta) be missed! I think I always wanted a Geocities account, but never got one for some reason.
