This isn't directly Myth related, but Geocities is going to close later this year

I'm bringing this up as there is still old Myth and other Bungie content on Geocities so it can't be taken for granted that it will be there forever.

I have the content from several geocities sites archived in the myth graveyard (mything.org/graveyard), but if anyone knows of any or can find any geocities sites that are Myth related please drop me a line, I'll at least grab a copy so the content won't be gone forever.

The more people looking for stuff and surfing old links the better, any help finding this soon to be gone geocities myth stuff is greatly appreciated.

Least we have a warning unlike we did for when The Mill went down :(

Grab as much goodies as you can and distribute them.

And what are the chances that someone like toe, who probably created his geocities years ago.. still use the e-mail they signed up with ?

The AOL webpages did the same thing last year. It really sucks and kills nostalgia ):

The only MAJOR Myth site I can think of that's hosted on a free site like that that isn't run by a community member active enough that we can contact them is the MWC98 site...that's on tripod thankfully.

If one of these sites is dying though (and AOL last year it seems), the rest must be on the way soon. MSN shut down their MSN Spaces..it's all vanishing

Ha!!!

I was just thinking of updating my Angelfire for the first time in about a year, I guess if this is how things are headed then I might as well not bother!

It's closing in hours.
well, since no one mentioned any myth related geocities sites they were aware of other than Toe's which I have a couple of copies of, no big loss - there obviously aren't any sites anyone was using or will miss.

Apparently no one will miss sites like Deer's order site, Croaker's Legends, Geezers from Hell, TankClan, Legends of Coop, M3 level walkthroughs, Pyro's Myth Lair, Lords of Chaos (claimed to be the "first organized Myth TFL order") etc.

ps. most of the geocities sites will probably live on in some form at http://archive.org.

You're correct. None of them will be missed. I've never visited a single one, so clearly they can't be that integral to the communities livelihood. :P
