Don't forget to include the "construction worker with a shovel" gif and disclaimer that this page is under construction.

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!

[–] Dee@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Absolutely! I sure hope so!

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.

This sent me down a rabbit hole!

[–] lackthought@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

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

That's fantastic. So much great content was lost when the original sites went down

[–] heartlessevil@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

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/

Old person here to grump about people who refer to the Web as "the Internet."

Some of us were online long before websites.
