Regardless of MySpace\'s stronghold on crap design, sites like these will be the next offender...

Whenever you give the masses such an extensive ability to customize something, it will likely get ugly. Nonetheless, I think it\'s more of a loss than a gain; a lot of information and history of the Internet will get lost with this purge and that\'s a shame, even though it looked like crap.

Hopefully Facebook will grind MySpace into the ground soon, so that too can be cast on the heap of Internet history.

Yeah, I remember when I was on the 4th grade and made my first website. Animated bart simpson FTW!

Most of made our first web site on Geocties, and the worst is that we thought (at least I did) that we had a great website. Looking back it is still a good start since we gotta start somewhere! But let\'s all be honest,
I don\'t miss the counters,
I don\'t miss the under construction signs
I don\'t miss the rainbow animated gifs
I don\'t miss the java applets with the ripple effect
I don\'t miss the right click button being disabled
I don\'t miss the the thingies that used to follow your mouse
and the list could go on hahaha!AdrianOct 30 2009 9:50 AM
Good riddance I say.
But it\'s not like bad web design will just magically disappear.
I\'m sure we\'ll start seeing other free web hosting sites like angelfire/tripod/lycos/etc become a haven for bad design.
I think bad web design can be likened to piracy on the internet. You can try and try to prevent it, but it will not stop.MickNov 1 2009 10:38 PM
I think it\'s rather sad to see it go.
Whether the design wankers like it or not, it\'s where the internet really took off and started to become something before we even really knew what it was fully capable of. We all should be paying our respects to geocites.tonyrocksNov 19 2009 8:52 AM
I always thought the site was pronounced \"Geo-Sites.\" Shows you how much I know.I do miss Anglefire though...I think they were by far \"more worser\" designs than Geocities.
