(Aside) The geocities fiasco is an important lesson of internet history. Yahoo bought geocities. Then in 2009 or 2010 their financial troubles gave them the reasoning to "sunset" the place. (corporate speak for deletion)

and now a large percentage of geocities is available as a torrent. Although a big torrent; the size with current HD prices should make you annoyed at Yahoo and these other big content housing places. Yahoo set the trend, MySpace/Facebook/etc will follow...
The ArchiveTeam also saved much of 'starwars.yahoo.com' before it went by by:

Yeah ArchiveTeam!
