a message from internet archeology

So today is (was) it, the last day of GeoCities existence (http://internetarchaeology.org/death.htm).

Id like to thank everyone who has helped archive this wonderful piece of history. Unfortunately, the party that was planned, which so many volunteered to participate in.. was canceled at the last minute by Market Hotel, the venue who was suppose to host it. The short notice left an insufficient amount time to find a new venue. Regardless, we made do, sharing some of our best GeoCities memories and links in AIM and Skype parties, and… a lot of David Duchovny kissing happened (http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Lair/8379/dd/kissdd.html).

Internet Archaeology will continue ever onwards; sifting through the GeoCities archive and exploring new/old sites.

In the meantime checkout the IA flash gallery at flash.internetarchaeology.org – which showcases a somewhat forgotten time within this medium. I find this stuff really illuminating and fun.

Also, if you haven’t already, please do see the guest galleries at http://www.internetarchaeology.org/aguestgalleries.htm
which include really great works by Tabor Robak, Krist Wood, Jacob Broms Engblom, Daniel Leyva and Nasdaq 5000.

A poem for GeoCities after the jump

GeoCities is alive forever…

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And youre here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till were gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life well always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And youre here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Youre here, theres nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
Well stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Thanks so much for your support and <3
