End of an era

I wonder if they'll put this up when you go onto their site now..

Geocities was where all the shitty webpages were before there was a myspace.

I thought they closed 10 years ago.

Speaking of crappy websites -- I remember in sixth grade when my friend first made an Angelfire page and I thought it was amazing.

RIP. Sad to see them go.

That's sad. I had a geocities account back when I used AOL dialup.

Not sad - I hated geocities with a passion. Yes - I like everyone else had one.

My first website was a emulator and rom download Geocities site in 1998. Man, those were the days 😛

Yahoo owns them.

My first homepage was hosted there, also first time I ever chatted over the internet was in a geocities chat, farewell.

Homestead
Interesting to see that Homestead is still around, but now they are charging for their service, and I assume it's at least a little better than it used to be.
I used to use their service after I got bored with geocities. 🙂

I worked in tech support there for a summer once, got plenty of "interesting" questions 🙂

They also sold for about $170mm a few years back I believe..
