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

I had a bulldozer one!
I have been using Neocities for years now. Because sometimes a simple static Website with a few images and some javascript just does the job.
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!
Perhaps a kid will enjoy this today!
Absolutely! I sure hope so!
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)
It's nice to know my Resident Evil 2 fan page lives on somwhere.
Old person here to grump about people who refer to the Web as "the Internet."
Some of us were online long before websites.
This sent me down a rabbit hole!
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
