Farewell Geocities
Back in the early days of the web, long before Web2.0® there was Geocities free web hosting. You had to write everything the hard way in html and you only got a few megabytes of storage. It’s limped along since being aquired by Yahoo! but now they are finally closing it. A great pity as peoples’ early web masterpieces will now vanish. Despite the space limitation, you could have multiple accounts per Yahoo ID by registering each ot the different international accounts (uk, ca, fr, as, au…).
Even worse, they removed ftp access so it’s a pain in the ass to get your old material off there (unless you have a backup)!
It’s not too late to visit mine before it vanishes.
