Yahoo! GeoCities, that great purveyor of many of our first forays into website hosting, is shutting down today after 15 years of service.
We can’t really top the commemoration that the folks behind webcomic xkcd did, so to mark this occasion I will post a link to one of the first websites I ever built — a Z-bots fan site. Made in 2000, it contains nearly all the necessary awfulness and strange web design flaws that make a good GeoCities site (save for a few good animated gifs, and maybe a MIDI or two).
Enjoy it while you can, and mourn. We’ll miss you, GeoCities, to some degree.
