With news of Geocities shutting down, the biggest question for me is what data might we lose onec they take down the servers. Should any kind of concerted effort be made to backup the programing resources?
Though I think it is now too late for that. I do think all the usefull programing resources should be backed up but I dont know who will. Geocities r.i.p ;_;
I’ve been doing a lot of not sleeping for months. I’ve been working on backing up hundreds of gigabytes of data that you decided to delete. I hate you.

A number of sites are still up, for example:
http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-SanJose/8700/P/GsorigE.htm
Did archive.org’s wayback machine index geocities?
I’ll bet some hacked ROMs and so on have been lost.
Yea but seldom do they backup binaries.
Wasn’t there MML stuff that was on geocities? It’s been years since. I might be wrong, but I’m pretty sure there was.
