True. Doesn't help anyone else who wants to read the blogs though. And even thought the storage is redundant, the fact that it's controlled by a single company makes it a single point of failure. I also hope Geocities is around somewhere and is recovered at some point in the future.



A lot of Geocities was archived. You can access one of them at reocities.com. There is also a 650+ GB torrent out there containing the archived sites. It's still a work in progress, apparently, but perusing the "neighborhoods" on reocities.com brings back memories.


The torrent is not very good, and anyway there aren't really any seeds anymore. It's better to get it from the Internet Archive https://archive.org/details/archiveteam-geocities This script makes downloading more convenient: http://blog.geocities.institute/archives/3209


Nice, thanks for the links.


There were definitely some good things lost with geocities :(
