Geocities, Megabeast, has died of old age
« on: October 26, 2009, 11:55:38 am »

I had heard that Geocities was closing for quite some time, but it seems that they're actually going to go through with it. I can't be bothered to find a source, but just check xkcd.

The theme will likely last for today only, so this post will look quite odd when it's all back to normal. I found it hilarious. The theme, not the comic. The comic was amusing too, though.

Yeah, I heard news of it on GeeksAreSexy.com. Sad huh.

The xkcd tribute is hilarious. There's plenty of extra hidden gems if you look at the source as well. There's a few missing essentials though:
No embedded midi
No popups
No spinning skull
No comet cursor
No broken image links to paths beginning with C:\
