You're my new hero. I don't use it and I never used geocities but this is still awesome. Historians will thank you in years to come. Sociologists and such will praise what can be mined. And the lists go on...

Most of those pages are still alive, for instance:

http://www.reocities.com/Area51/vault/5058/

Just change the 'g' from geocities to the 'r' of reocities.

I love that tumblr. I would also recommend http://twitter.com/wwwtxt or http://wwwtxt.tumblr.com/ -- short quotes from the early internet. Some are eerily insightful.
