Adieu Geocities...

Just as I was reminiscing about the good ol' times of Web 1.0, Yahoo Chat, my email pen pals, and all the new people I met online as I entered college, here's another service that is biting the dust: Geocities.

Way back when, before I paid for my own website, I designed and published my website on Geocities. The URL was somewhat obscure like geocities.com/starTrek/Sector/7440/username. You essentially picked a town, a neighborhood and a street address and that's how your URL was determined (sadly I can't find backups of my website on archive.org)

As...the good ol' days of Club Admiralty version 1.0...

I haven't used Geocities since I got my own web hosting, but the service will be missed.
