If Geocities had evolved into something useful, instead of laying as a stagnant reminder of how primitive the web once was, it might be worth preserving. As it stands, or stood, considering it’s now gone, it represents the worst of amateur web “design” and I can only hope MySpace, its spiritual successor, shares a similar fate.
Farewell blinky GIFs we hardly knew ye. 
Ok, I’m over it now.
I refuse to believe that this phrase is not used as a sexual euphamism somewhere in the world.
Geo-cities websites would always lock up my first computer, a Compaq Presario so I was always phobic about anything geo-cities. The one I miss is Deja-News. Have you ever tried to search for old usenet posts using Google? Oh my God what a mess.
I care, as I had a Geocities site which I still kept track of (although I could no longer edit it using the Geocities site building tools, for some odd reason). I’ve saved the materials posted there and have them up on LiveJournal now, but it’s still sad to see my old site disappear.
(I miss Deja News as well, Icerigger. There was a lot of great stuff posted on Usenet back in its day, which is all but impossible to find now. I think future historians are going to be pretty upset when they think about what was lost during the early days of the digital revolution because we casually threw it away as “worthless.”)
I just took a little trip back in time to the few Geocities sites I still have in bookmarks. So long, Brother Theodore, instructions on how to make a Walkalong Glider, and other assorted oddities.
…just went there… worked fine.
You need to get out more. There’s five jazz clubs within walking distance of my apartment.
Just went there and it’s still not working. 
Huh? I’m able to find all my old posts to Usenet with no particular difficulty. Newsgroup name and the e-mail address and I’ve got it. I did it the other day and realized just how much stuff I used to know that I have almost completely forgotten about - old software that I was an expert in and stuff like that.
I’m gonna miss it, in a nostalgic way. It reminds me of the way things were when I first got the internet. Everyone had either a Geocities or an Angelfire website. You were lucky if you could get 28k. Those were much simpler times.
Jason Scott cares. Perhaps too much, but he’s actually doing something about it.
Everything that’s been said in this thread about jazz could be said about rock or classical with precisely as much truth.
I care because the first webpage I ever made, over 10 years ago when I was 14 years old, was on Geocities. It was a guide for a video game (Everquest) I was playing at the time. And it was still indexed by Google as the top result if you searched for the particular part of the game I wrote the guide for. So with Geocities, a little piece of my childhood died.
Geocites dies, the internet responds with a resounding ‘meh’.
There, fixed.
