When geocities went offline , the devs archived the entire site every thing at . geocities . com and stored it away . For many of us , the sites we had built were gone forever , but they made the archive available for download in all it ' s teenage angsty , glittery , blinking , neon pink and green glory . Unfortunately , many of the links don ' t work even those that would be inside of the same page , there is no real index of the archive , Yahoo changed identification methods before they took the damn thing offline , from streetneighborhood addresses to yahooid ' s , so trying to find a site by the old streetneighborhood doesn ' t work anymore . I kept my copy for about 8 months , then decided it was not worth the space . I may download it again in the future , if I need to find something that didn ' t get moved somewhere else on the web .
