Geocities has finally closed down....

I remember many LOI websites running off Geocities in the late-90s, including my own Derry City site - which used to reside at:
http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Stadium/7926
Any other old LOI Geocities users out there?

Here's a bit of Geocities history I won't miss. It's where I started too though, so I guess ye should bow heads to Geocities in thanks for Foot.ie.
xkcd has a spot on tribute to GeoCities today: http://xkcd.com/
That's absolute class, the marquee, the broken image, the background, the BLINK tags, it just couldn't be more accurate!
Not LOI, but I've been using Geocities since I was about 11 (so 8 years now?). I've always outsourced by images to there and I learned HTML there (though my knowledge is still pretty limited). Will be greatly missed by me (especially as I hosted the table and banner images on there for this site and now have to change it on every single page)

i dont think ironic is the word, but its a sad/weird day but also wonderful that an "icon" of the internet age is disappearing from the end of today.
I remember a school project I did back in the day as they say 97/98 and thinking how wonderful it was and trying to figure out what relative and absoloute paths meant The next page I did was a nirvana fan page, im sure i wasn't the only one I remember getting in contact with a girl in america somewhere, georgia i think, who liked my page and i got on rather well with her actually.
Anyway the broken links/images etc was down to YOU, and not understanding relative links, not geocities, it was an error between chair and keyboard.
I wish i could remember that site like dodge can above.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
