Today's xkcd homepage is a tribute to the Geocities shutdown. XD

Wow, that is SO spot-on. Also the strip is brilliant ^^. It took me a while to get the connection and I appreciate Machiavellian women.

Heh! That is gloriously ugly and so accurate. :D

Boy, there goes a huge chunk of early Web history. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

There were actually some good sites on there back in the day not mine-- I remember doing a lot of informal research for fic on those sites, done by hobbyists who were passionate but too cheap/limited in resources for a pay site.

That is actually fantastic! XD Thanks for sharing!

Awesome on many levels!

Also, am glad to see the microwave problem isn't just me. Was worried that perhaps I'm sitting too close to the kitchenette.

It's like a piece of my childhood passed away.

I wondered about that! Aahh, Geocities. I remember my childhood days, frolicking about the internet, jumping from bad Geocity site to bad Geocity site, huffing at the annoying ads.

I shan't miss you.
