R.I.P. GeoCities

Back in the day when caveman roamed the Earth, Larry King could change his own diaper and the internet was still a toddler, there was a thing called GeoCities. GeoCities was a place where everyone could go and build their own website in a quick minute for free. Actually, it probably took a few hours, because of that dial-up crap. Well, GeoCities is now dead. A truly sad day on the world wide webs.

GeoCities took my webmaster cherry and turned me into the full-blown webmaster WOMAN I am today. Sadly, I couldn't find my old site and don't even remember what it was about. I didn't cuddle with it as much as I should have, because I spent most of my time doing ho shit in AOL chat rooms. Memories.

Yahoo! announced that they will be closing GeoCities at the end of the year leaving millions without an internet home! So you better get your fix of Karyn White, Jeremy Jordan and Tony! Toni! Tone! fansites before they go away forever!

You will be missed GeoCities!

This is so sad! I owe Geocities a lot. I used to hang out on the Sunset Strip there before I started hanging at the real life one!

I'm working from home today and one of my neighbors is walking around the courtyard "gardening" in black panties and a bra (this is NOT a bikini) and hot pink CROCS.

You're neighbors with Joe Shmoe?

geocities pages always looked like crap, i never had one. I remember getting a 400 dollar bill from aol. that was when they charged per hour, and had those stupid "art" updates.

Use www.weebly.com

In 1996 I was 14 and had a GeoCities fan page for The Spice Girls and manga characters. What a nerd!

Our compuserve account was restricted because my mom always thought I was looking up porn!

Haha! I had a geocities site, too.

I remember when I first went online and when you wanted to download something, you had to pick a protocol, like "x" "y" or "kermit" and the computer you were downloading from had to use the same one...

I also still have my old AOL in DOS disk and I remember going on Compuserv and your email address would be something like 213455,564654324@compuserve.com and it cost $22.49/hour to go online.

I remember getting excited because I ordered a book from my computer and ordering it was all in DOS, this was before they had pictures online.

Damn but I am feeling old, ha.

Practically every one of my friends and I had a GeoCities website when we were in junior high. Sigh. Now I'm getting all nostalgic...

Speaking of ho shit in aol chat rooms, I was sued for TWO MILLION DOLLARS for defamation of character by a psychotic stalker I met in one of those rooms back in 97. Scary shit. I was still a minor so we got that shit thrown out.

I learned about pervs in the chatrooms. *sniffle* I was so innocent I didn't know ppl could have sex with animals! I didn't believe it, and then got the proof by email. Ah, the old days. I had my own geocities page and thank god I can't remember what it was called. I had my crappy writing up.

Sushi - M.K. had me when I found him aptly referring to Mark Anthony as Skeletor. Sometimes he's made me laugh so hard, my stomach hurts. Oh, yeah, and he's no fan of Paris Hilton. Love him!

She went back inside (thank God!) so I didn't have a chance to whip out the cell phone cam. But I've got it right here, just in case she comes back out.

She's probably about 65ish and 35-40 pounds overweight, too.

Are you serious?
************************

Yep! And this was in like '96 or '97, so it was some cutting edge porn craziness. See-you-see-me (web cams) was just beginning to get big at that time with the pervs. Porn webmasters are always the ones who pioneer the coolest technologies way before they hit the usual dude on the street. They're the only ones with the money to do that stuff. Back then, a simple hub was $800 & a router was a few thousand, and they would be buying shit like that in BULK.

This doesn't relate to the topic, but I have to tell someone.

What was the correct pronunciation? Was it accented on the first or second syllable. I've heard both.

Chat rooms, geocities, shrines.

The early days of the web were sick.
Im glad I was there for the growing pains.

you web-youngins don't know the half of it. back when dumb terminals ruled the world, the only people networked were hobbyists and file-sharing was completely open with no policing at all. you wouldn't believe the stuff then.

once the technologies started to take off, there were some insane applications for it. one i worked on with a customer -- a suit worn by a perv that allows the person on the other end of the connection to stimulate certain areas remotely. tell me that's not just a little f-ed up.

Oh the memories. Wayback in the day Geocities was cutting edge! Yahoo! is in trouble financially.

That just gave me the shivers...I'm glad it's shutting down. I'm embarassed just thinking about all of those creepy cherry busting AOL chat rooms and Geocities accounts that had. It was all so aDICting and ASSciting.

I am nostalgic of "that dial up crap". I dunno it was just so exciting, you had to wait a little while try a few times and when you finally got that beeeeeep you were connected to THE INTERNETS lol!

So you were an exhibitionist way back then too, eh MK? I am dearly sorry for your loss, Sweetie! Keep up the good work!!! xoxoxox
