Goodbye Geocities

[Sysman]

No. The nachos isn't it. The Geocities commemmoration is the starry page background and iffy layout (i.e. absolutely everything except for the cartoon in fact).

I suppose it helps if you know what xkcd normally looks like...are you sure you're an IT contractor?

Wow that takes me back - complete with men digging, "site under construction" and a stray NBSP.

Eek!
I've been putting too many ms in Commemoration! Don't tell my Latin teacher!

I do like the xkcd commemoration - reminds me of Bruce Lawson's Geocities 1996 CSS Zen Garden submission

Lol, I thought it looked weird but you caught me after driving home from working all day.

I went there and saw a post about nachos. Is this subtle humour or can you post a specific link?

Oh boll*x, they have been hosting a couple of my sites for years FOC. Is anyone else effectively offering free hosting these days?

I think there must be millions of free hosting options, now diskspace and so forth is dirt-cheap. The chances are, your ISP might even offer it as part of the service.

It was when they launched and now

True, but still a bit part of web history. I remember my first amateur www efforts went on there, though I must admit I did move away very quickly.
