Geocities is now closed, the crawler is reporting 410s for lots of urls. RIP

Yes, I think that with this web 1.0 officially ends.

There is a great disturbance in the force somewhere, millions of 'under construction' gifs cried out simultaneously.

I really wonder how this will affect the google pagerank of lots of pages that have been around for a long time.

The 'average pr' of geocities pages was probably quite low, but collective it must have been enormous, especially the ones from before the spam era.

This brings a tiny tear to my eye...
