I ran a search for "site:geocities.com/Area51" to see if the old free hosting webpages are still alive. Found this gem:<a href="http://www.geocities.com/area51/3253/" rel="nofollow">http://www.geocities.com/area51/3253/</a><p>It's very easy to look down our collective noses at Geocities, but I really feel I owe virtually everything I have to their free 2mb hosting. I learned the ins and outs of FTP from uploading my first webpages - webpages that taught me how HTML works. I did my best to hide their sponsor banners with my first JavaScript.<p>Everyone has access to their own Facebook profile and the like these days, so the idea of owning your own space on the Web is kind of archaic.<p>But is there still an equivalent of Geocities for modern Internet users?
Wow, real Geocities.com domain? I wonder if someone missed a server when decommissioning the cluster? I thought this was going to refer to the fact that you can replace geocities.com with reocities.com and get most sites. <a href="http://www.reocities.com/newhome/makingof.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.reocities.com/newhome/makingof.html</a>
Wow. Clicked a few and got; a guy selling wooden carvings of ships, a lodge resort in Oklahoma, and "Cafe Cokin is an Unofficial Cokin Filter System web site".<p>They don't make the internet like that anymore.
It's like looking through time! On another note, Bandung, Indonesia seems like a nice vacation spot.<p>This guys woodcarvings are absolutely incredible. Fully detail MRAP? A wooden F-2002? I'll take one!<p><a href="http://www.geocities.com/wcaindonesia/" rel="nofollow">http://www.geocities.com/wcaindonesia/</a>

A lot of sites were cloned to geocities.ws as well. My "apple dance" site (banjo kazoo soundtrack and all) was zombified at <a href="http://geocities.ws/appledance2001/" rel="nofollow">http://geocities.ws/appledance2001/</a><p>It's embarrassing but historical.
This guy has a working widget to weather underground with today's weather. <a href="http://photographic-exploration.com/" rel="nofollow">http://photographic-exploration.com/</a>
Just found this clone called oocities.org. I had no idea my old mugen website was saved here. Unfortunately most of it isn't working. But it's certainly a nice nostalgic feeling to revisit my old website :)<p>Anyone interested Mugen characters and stages? Java applets simulating starcraft units using a physics engine? Winamp AVS plugin samples that will show a smiley face singing along your music or a guy running in the rain using math to generate the lines? Then you're welcome to my 2001 website ^^<p><a href="http://www.oocities.org/vibhp/us.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.oocities.org/vibhp/us.html</a>
ASCII art page last updated March 2001. This was someone's labor of love and creative outlet for a long time.<p><a href="http://www.geocities.com/spunk1111/kids.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.geocities.com/spunk1111/kids.htm</a>
Somewhere, Jason Scott is laughing.
