Just read about Geocities and it’s iminent demise. As someone who learned most of his HTML and even started his webcomic through the service, it kind of pains me to see the service go. I remember tweaking my Geocities site during study hall in high school while the others around me tried to either do their homework or tried to circumvent the firewall (our study hall “teacher”) to watch hentai.

Granted, it makes sense that the service is on the way out given the current state of the social web. But I definitely feel the need for a moment of silence for the place where I started on the web.

Okay.

Do any of you remember your old Geocities sites and or the urls that you had? Please share if you do! Or did you use any of the competing services? I remember having accounts with Geocities, Homestead, and Angelfire. Ahhh, those were the days. Web 1.0
