In hear you! Man did i fucked around. Made a website with no real info, because what could i tell the world als a 12-15 year old.

Use notepad to write html. All different folders with home as the most important

It had a counter how often the site was visited (it was mostly me)

And the account name was .tk (?) because it was free

The “some reason” is that it was cool, modern, hip, and cutting edge.

Case in point.

…animated for some reason

Our scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

my home internet was out for a few days, discovering and browsing Neocities on a mobile hotspot limited to 256kbps was a vibe

It’s a dot org site, by the way. The dot com was malware at one point, so just be careful.

Edit: the dot com seems to no longer be registered, so I guess you don’t have to be that careful anymore lol

I would love to recover my old GeoCities page somehow. I even remember the neighbourhood it was in. It was all about how cool hockey, Godzilla, and Warcraft 2 is

Give this a shot maybe? I know there’s some other archive collections as well you could try digging into.

I’m not sure I remember the address. Might have to spend a bunch of time on this archive today.
