The Great Geocities Rescue

Post by Iskander Mirkdale »

For those who may not be aware, the Apollo Foundation will be archiving as many micronational Geocities hosted sites as possible, as Yahoo will be closing Geocities by the end of the year. Anyone with links to sites should pass them on as soon as they can. I have compiled my own initial list here. As far as Shireroth concerned, both Scott and Erik have a lot of ancient stuff on their own accounts which will need to be rehosted.

Amokolias first website is on geocities. I tried to get into it yesterday and didn't work. Geocities really helped start up Amokolia, not to be corny or anything :P.

Thanks Jake.

Edit: We already got there first by the looks of things. :P

And Erik, yet it is a shame. One can get by using "copy link location" and pasting into the URL bar after the "apollo-sites" folder.

Before I forget, this must be archived.

ok, should work now, feel free to test and if you have ANY more geocities links, send them to me.

Do not even have to have a strong link to micronationalism.

Also, if you own a geocities account, it would be great if you could change the password and give me access so that I can back them up properly, this system can only follow links from other pages on the system

Try and get onto Harvey and ask for his ...
The character Andreas the Wise is on indefinite leave.
However, this account still manages:

Should have guessed :P

ok, now i have a list of every file on your account so I can download even ones without links to them :D

If anyone else has access to a geocities account and could give me access to it, i would be very much grateful! You could PM it rather than posting in this thread though

I think I sent Spangle all my accounts (at least those I could remember) to back up.
