Urgent: Yahoo Shutting Down Geocities.

I am sure many of you have fond memories of GeoCities, the website hosting site. While most of the websites on it were eyesores, with far to many animations and blinking text, there is still hordes of gun information hosted there.

Yahoo has announced that in exactly two weeks GeoCities will go offline.

Please search through your bookmarks and post any high-quality GeoCities-hosted gun websites in the comments below. I will try to mirror as many of them as I can and host them on my server.

    While it’s probably fine for you to copy the site contents for personal use, I suspect it is a violation of copyright law for you to mirror sites without the owner’s permission. IANAL.

    You might wanna post a link to this http://www.archive.org/ I read they’ve been trying to archive most of the old geocities sites and its worked fairly well over the years. Not all hope is lost!

    The Archive Team “has initiated a project to mirror Geocities before it goes away”. Here’s the Archive Team page on their Geocities archive efforts.
    http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Geocities
    and their FAQ
    http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Geocities_FAQ
    As you can imagine this is a big project so they’re accepting donations toward buying more hard disks :) .

    Also, the Internet Archive, “a nonprofit digital library, and home to a giant archive of the public web since 1996″ has increased their webspidering and archival efforts of Geocities. On this page

    http://www.archive.org/web/geocities.php

    you can check if they’ve archived a given site, and recommend ones for them to do so if they haven’t yet.

    Steve, if anyone needs hosting, let me know. I’ve got a lot of room on my server and would be more than willing to save some valuable sites.
    Thanks,
    Matt
