I sure do miss my Pokemon Geocities sites, with Poke Gods.
For those looking for some of that same nostalgia. neocities.org
I would love to recover my old GeoCities page somehow. I even remember the neighbourhood it was in. It was all about how cool hockey, Godzilla, and Warcraft 2 is
Give this a shot maybe? I know there's some other archive collections as well you could try digging into.
I'm not sure I remember the address. Might have to spend a bunch of time on this archive today.
Mine was in the Athens/Acropolis area.
May my first website be forever under construction.
Complete with gif of a construction sign thats animated for some reason.
…animated for some reason
Our scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
God I miss this time on the web
In hear you! Man did i fucked around. Made a website with no real info, because what could i tell the world als a 12-15 year old.
Use notepad to write html. All different folders with home as the most important
It had a counter how often the site was visited (it was mostly me)
And the account name was .tk (?) because it was free

I'm in the same situation at almost forty.
I remember tk domains being free, yep
It was a better time back then
Neocities is now a thing if anyone wants to check it out
my home internet was out for a few days, discovering and browsing Neocities on a mobile hotspot limited to 256kbps was a vibe
It's a dot org site, by the way. The dot com was malware at one point, so just be careful.
Edit: the dot com seems to no longer be registered, so I guess you don't have to be that careful anymore lol
Big nostalgia feels. The internet was so good back then.
I had my personal website on Xoom! Man, I wish I could find a copy of it. There's nothing from it on the Wayback Machine.
I really wish I was online during those times. Then again I was only 5 years old in 1995, so it's not like I could do much but play games on Nickelodeon's website at that point in life. It's fun looking at web archives of old GeoCities sites!
They had chat rooms back then on the Nick site with games. Who knows the gross ass old men I talked to when I was 9.
It saddens me that this is either meant to remind people of the way things were, or it teaches them a world they never knew.
1995 me would have been excited to see what crazy stuff is on the 2025 internet. 2025 me realizes it's just a digital version of a carnival scam. Hot singles in your area is just the ring toss game. Give them your money, and then you lose.
The 90s were just factually a better time. Biggest controversy about our president at that time was that our president got blowjobs.

Consensual blow jobs.
1995 me would have been excited to see what crazy stuff is on the 2025 internet.
And horrified at how it's done.
i was a sunset strip girlie!
until i went to tripod, at least.
Also was on the sunset strip!!
Memooorreiiieeesss of having dozens of angel fire accounts to get around their 25 mb limit running a very cool, very legit download site. My bros had all the latest dojin fighters from comiket.
TimesSquare/Alley was the place to be for gaming news. And webrings were more useful than search engines.
Break out of frames!
Wow so many memories...
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
