PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 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 gif from this pageto assist in remembering Geocities, animated gifs are permitted in this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeFiend Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 So in case you hadnt heard, Geocities is closing tomorrow.Good news! 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!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. Oh yeah, pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
