> Geocities was shuttered before "young people" today started using the Internet (and was dying for years before that).
Yeah. Because young people in 2005 are now like 20 to 30 somethings today. That was 11 years ago man. A 35 year old today who was really into Geocities back in its prime was a 24-year old young person (although Geocities prime was really closer to early 2001 or 2002).
In any case, I fondly remember the awful Neopet communities with awful gifs and everything that I used to browse on Geocities. Anyone remember "Webrings" ??
Now I admit, 2005ish was when Xanga and MySpace started to take over (Facebook was a "college" thing, and not really relevant to high-schoolers at that time). But Geocities was still relevant at that time.
