those personal homepages really hold something special that a lot of the modern internet lacks. you can personalize things pretty far but theres really nothing quite like the level of freedom you could get with those kind of sites. the bubbles of community too, having specific places for your favorite things and people to share it with is also much less in these times. everyone is kind of all in the same place overlapping and in some ways thats good! i think just in general the modern internet feels very restrictive and trapped especially compared to what we get to see here

Once when we were in the 5th grade, one of my friends printed out a bunch of character stat pages from a Buffy the Vampire Slayer Geocities fan page for me and matted them on red and black construction paper and everything. I still think about that sometimes, how that was just normal fan culture behavior at the time. There was no tumblr to reblog gifs of your favorite characters, you just had Geocities fan pages and if you wanted to share them with your friends who didn't have internet yet you had to physically print them out.

I started a site about philosophy there when I was like 14 , I never did it for real though. Sad. The internet back then was truly a creative space, now you're stuck with predefined boxes called "social media" where you can write your stuff but within the confines of that space's aesthetic and limitations. I think this is why I love vaporwave so much, because it brought back the feeling that you could be as corny as possible when creating your own pages with all those weird graphics combos, fonts and sound effects.

I miss the open feeling of Groceries; I also had one that I didn't really finish either! Looking back on it, I'll never understand why all of us seemed to favor text on clashing backgrounds and a different background for each individual page on a site! It was just sorta taken for granted that each page on it had to look unique rather than a standard background.

I was in my early teens when I made my Geocities site. I was obsessed with the first X-Men movie, and made a little fansite dedicated to it. I had a gallery filled with my favourite screenshots, a small BBS for my friends and I to talk about the movie (it eventually turned into general chatting and early internet memes), and a copy of the movie's script that people could download as a TXT file. It's fun to think back to the kid I was then, wish I'd saved a copy of that site.

The "headings" and "subsections" as you keep calling them were the Cities and Neighborhoods, respectively. When you created your account, you picked which city to be a part of and then you looked for a Neighborhood that you wanted to join. In each neighborhood there were something like lot numbers. So you could be at lot 4120 making your full GeoCities Address something like "Area 51, Dimension, 4120." This is why the site was called Geo _CITIES._ And there were a limited number of lots in each neighborhood, meaning they could fill up. As more neighborhoods filled up, more were created. Occasionally, new cities were also added. And in the earliest days of GeoCities, each neighborhood was supposed to have a more specific genre or area of interest, but almost immediately the idea of having specific niches be in their own specific neighborhood was abandoned. EDIT: Maybe it was Region instead of City? I honestly can't remember anymore. But the "subsections" were definitely called neighborhoods.

It was more than a 100 pages long, all about their wishfulfillment of being cool superheroes... it inspired me so much, definitely shaped me.

Those category headers weren't added after archiving, that's exactly how geocities worked when it was up and running. It was pretty random back then to find stuff, but that went for any place on the internet. When you went on the internet in the 90s geocities was probably 80% of what you looked at. Also, if you found a page you liked, you had to bookmark it or you would probably never find it again.

Nothing compared to the anticipation when waiting for your modem to connect online nor the rush of dopamine you'd feel when it finally did. It was the literal wild west with very little oversight or corporate control. Everyday was a new mystery to be found and a new wonder to be seen like you were an explorer finding a new untouched continent everyday.

First off: I loved this!!! I hope to see it become a series on this channel. I'm in that weird Millennial-Gen Z (Zillennial?) gap. I wasn't old enough to have used Geocities, but I was definitely around in the late 2000s when that level of personalization of pages was still rampant on DeviantArt. I still suck at coding, but I knew how to insert Journal Dolls, page backgrounds, plz accounts (we had minimal emoticon/proto-emojis on the site, so people made accounts with some, so you'd just mention the account and it would show up as their icon. The plz was present in every single one: I assume it was an identifier, but as a kid I thought it was sort of like treating the computer/site like it was semi-sentient/like if you thanked an AI chatbot today: "give me the image of [x], please"). I remember my entire account page was just widgets with a background of this checkerboard pattern that was black with interchanging rainbow glitter, a real sign of the times lmao. It also warms my heart to see the preservation of stuff like this, as well as content that shows the amazing things you find just getting lost in it all. I work in an archive of specifically pop culture material, and it's our job to try to convey this sense of wanderlust (but for the journey itself and it being via media of the past versus physical travel) to our visitors and to the world. We have an entire section dedicated to comics, and some are extremely rare and/or old. I sometimes wonder who used to own them: if they had Action Comics #1 as a kid, are they still alive? Was this their favorite character? The same questions come to me with this video: where are they now? Is that Renaissance Fair still going on all these years later, or is it defunct? Does the owner of Diznee Girls watch Defunctland now? Was DJ Hot Money Smooth a real person, or an Icy Hot Stuntaz clone? So many questions remain unanswered.

I actually attended my first Ren faire last year and I really got tickled over Brain's page ! I really wish we had the ability to go down rabbit holes like we use to. And fairly safely at that... I admire the fact that anyone passionate about anything could easily make a site.. without commercial and all. I was trully at the dead end of this being born in 95 and only getting a computer when I was 12. Even at the late stages, it was still a much more fun and engaging place to be. (and a place to be slightly traumatized aha ) It's a shame how even I know how empty it feels now. I can only imagine if I was just a couple years older and had more access then , how truly saddened I'd be at the state it is now. I remember when GeoCities died , same year Michael Jackson passed!

I once had a Geocities page about my interests, mainly vampire and philosophy related at that point. One of those pseudo-edgy goth teen sites, OF COURSE with the spinning upside down pentagrams and some very weird GIFs I found allover the web. Man, I miss the days when you would just browse and explore weird web pages. The Wild West of the internet was glorious.

Jesus Christ saves He had mercy on me he can save all who all seek him today He made away through calvery repent of all sins today Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Holy Spirit can give you peace purpose and joy and his will today John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

When I was a kid in the 90sbwe received dragon ball z in the states, at that time it was the ocean dub so it never went passed the episode when Goku comes to Namek and fights off the Ginyu Force. I went online and found DBZ characters and villains I had never seen before. I then found out that DBZ was originally made in Japan. Wanting to know more I went online amd would gind many snippets in MPEG format of whatever I could find. There was a website that I would frequent called Goku's Super Saiyan Website that had DBZ music that played as soon as you went to its landing page. There was one MPEG that showed a blonde Goku fighting a Blonde Vegeta, that little clip of them fighting burned into my mind. I believe this was in 97 or 98

Back in the day, it was pretty common for websites to have broken links or links to “under construction” pages as a joke. DJ whatever’s page with the “Thoughts on World Peace” page under construction was probably one of those jokes. The idea was that the link would be something totally incongruous with the other content of the page and then of course there wouldn’t be anything there. Just letting you know that you’re not missing out on a treatise on world peace 😅
