Geocities was nothing but a shadow of what it once was.

nothing of value was lost.

I wouldn't consider that a infinite since you have to make your opponent bounce of the wall and if you do it on the wrong side of the stage the stage interaction would activate.

This is rich.

I like how most forums I venture are downplaying geocities because of the compare & contrasting with advancements today when practically everyone in the mid to late 90s had a geocities account.

Considering that downloading 1 character was enough for Geoshitties make that site unavailable, Any MUGEN creator who actually cares about their stuff being available already ditched that a long time ago. if any MUGEN related sites are still there, either the guy left the community a long time ago, or has a better site elsewhere.


the only thing I'm going to miss is the burial ground from my old internet persona. besides that, Good bye, so long, farewell, and thanks for all the fish.

Was Geocities free?
I like this new web-hosting thing they got instead.
Yahoo web hosting

Geocities was always free. The bandwidth and file space you got was nightmarish compared to today but that doesn't matter. It was never really about a one-stop shop to pirate something, but moreso showing off your nerdom with countless dragonballz pages, castlevania pages, ate my balls pages.

And midis. Can't forget about the midis.  :)

edit: Geocities is survived by MySpace

GEOCITIES IS CLOSING ON OCTOBER 26, 2009.
New GeoCities accounts are no longer available
guess that implies no more sign up service
the sites will remain

I know, they're oldschool hosts, but there's so many things I don't like about them, like horrendous bandwidth allotments, those damn laggy MIDIs, those "Under Construction" signs, etc.

Ah yeah, I remember the days when everyone had a GeoCities anime fansite, most of them DBZ, and they all uploaded crappy DBZ subbed episodes in real player format, and they all wanted to affiliate with your fancy websites that were hosted on their own domains and had fancy layouts. :P

meh, cheap overseller-webhosting which works for most purposes including a domain is what these days, $4 a month? own domains really do make the difference.
