let us take a moment to remember geocities on its last day of existence

[JJ]

Is anyone else frantically downloading her nearly forgotten geocities website? Mine had frames! Whoo hoo. And lots and lots of old photos and movies.

Not exactly what I had planned to do this lovely autumn afternoon but I will admit I'm having fun and extremely nostalgic now.

Is that today? Well, its an easy way to get rid of a website I haven't even looked at in about 3 years!!

OMG my pride and joy website is on geocities.....

Fuck!

Mine had frames too. I was so proud of it, crafted lovingly from scratch using html, none of your Dreamweaver nonsense. Hopefully I've got it all but 'tis the end of an era...

You might be interested in www.archive.org (part of Google, I think) which goes around the web and may have copies of past pages of yours.... unless the site owners for geocities put in a "robots.txt" file that stops archiving.

It doesn't have all of it, but should have some, definitely.

Mumsnet's old Talk board used to be a Discus message board and was located at www.mumsnet.com/discus . Just mentioning in case you're really bored and want to know what was being talked about way back when. The old discus messages aren't in the current searchable archive, unfortunately.

Eyeballs - I was using Dreamweaver then but still quite proud of it. We upgraded to the homepage.mac.com site for photos and movies and now annoy people with them on facebook. What I really need to do is keep a very good backup of everything rather than posting stuff on random sites. I think I have an external hard drive sitting in an unopened box somewhere for that very purpose, eek.
