Geocities is down, forever.
I couldn’t pass the opportunity to say how sad I am that Yahoo decided to close Geocities’ doors. If you were doing websites in high school, you were probably hosted on Geocities or Angelfire. It probably hosted most of the 90’s websites and was at a time, the top 3 “hub” website visited.
Unfortunately I couldn’t find any trace of my old websites, so you will not be able to see those magnificent relics, but it involves black background and white text anyway.
So it might be better for you guys that i couldn’t find them in time!
