    Don’t forget to include the “construction worker with a shovel” gif and disclaimer that this page is under construction.

    ah, the nostalgia!

    I’m gonna crosspost this to !retronet@lemmy.sdf.org which is a community for ‘vintage internet’ discussions, and this is perfect

    That’s fantastic. So much great content was lost when the original sites went down

      It wasn’t lost per se, Geocities was archived and you can download a torrent: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/GeoCities

      That page links to a web-accessible archive here: https://geocities.restorativland.org/

      In fact there’s some interesting 90s queer history here: https://geocities.restorativland.org/WestHollywood/Castro/ (beware that it contains some NSFW images if you scroll for a while)

    I tried to get into neocities like six months ago but I just don’t have the want to customize my own site with html from scratch anymore like when I was younger. I like that it exists still but there’s something to be said of modernization when you have limited time each day with other life responsibilities. That being said I hope it takes off!
