The death of Geocities


Recommended Posts

So in case you hadnt heard, Geocities is closing tomorrow.

If you arent familiar with Geocities, It was/is(for the next 24hrs or so) THE place for unprofessional webdesign. were talking nested frames, broken links, animated gifs, transparent gifs with the wrong color aliasing, hideously bright fonts and backgrounds and Comic Sans MS as far as the eye can see! rumor has it if you had a Geocities page that could pass a W3 validation it was grounds for account termination though this was never proven since it has never happened. :) (ok i made that last one up but you get the idea)

so before Pa takes ol' Geocities out back with his rifle, post the link it or an image of your favorite Geocities page. if you dont know one, just pick your favorite ArArea51Quasar9105underconstruction1.gif gif from this page

to assist in remembering Geocities, animated gifs are permitted in this thread

Good news! :lol:

Don't forget the animated GIF overdose, scrolling marquees, rainbow-colored text, blink tags and all that other stuff that makes you want to gouge your eyes out with a spoon.

Although as like if it was reborn as those "social networking" sites -- only, with tons of flash crap and extremely distasteful music tacked on top of it all. Geocities^2, and still without content. :puke:

Oh yeah, pics!
