Geocities closing their doors

saint:
Thanks, that is next on my todo list :)

OK, this site is now online:

http://geocities.arcadecontrols.com/

You can go to it to see if a site you think should be mirrored has already been mirrored.


--- Quote ---Quick and dirty front page (for now)

Looking for a geocities site to see if it's been mirrored? Here's how:

Take the complete address of the site, and prepend http://geocities.arcadecontrols.com/ to the front of it.

For instance, http://www.geocities.com/ddrhomepad/ becomes
http://geocities.arcadecontrols.com/www.geocities.com/ddrhomepad/

There is no coding or logic involved in the translation, so be sure you have the URL exactly right. For instance, although:

http://www.geocities.com/ddrhomepad/
http://geocities.com/ddrhomepad/

both take you to the same site on Geocities, the only manner in which it's mirrored here is with the "www" in the name.

This link will work.
http://geocities.arcadecontrols.com/www.geocities.com/ddrhomepad/

This link will not work!
http://geocities.arcadecontrols.com/geocities.com/ddrhomepad/

Think there should be a site mirrored here that isn't yet? Shoot saint an email asap before they disappear!

Note - any content holders who object to their site being mirrored please email me and I will take the mirror down.

Jesus, and here I thought they raised their cap up to at least 2000 levels.

I wonder if the wayback machine people are aware of this? This sort of archival is up their alley. Maybe we should petition with them to keep geocities open long enough to archive the site (not just for us arcade-wannabes, but for posteriors)

I saw it in the mid 90s and was surprised to still see it '02. Geo was SO 90s.


jim, the image on that old TV looks pretty good despite the RF deal.
