Websites designed for older browsers and operating systems – Netscape and Internet Explorer 5 Windows 2000 and XP – won’t look right on a newer computer. The homespun aesthetic of GeoCities belies a degree of technical complexity and interdependence that makes restoring the sites a challenge. Today, his website albeit in altered form, exists.
From the 1990s through 2009, Bobby did have a website when GeoCities went down in 2009, he didn’t. The Tumblr publishes one screenshot of a restored GeoCities per 20 minutes, with around 137,000 posts to date “I have a website” was one of three pages to be fully built out, made navigable to a contemporary web user.

Then they began piecing the world of GeoCities back together.īobby’s personal page was one of those captured by the Archive Team, and a screenshot appeared on Januon One Terabyte of Kilobyte Age Photo-Op, the Tumblr associated with Espenschied and Lialina’s project. They watched as fellow seeders dropped from a few hundred to three or four. For five months, Espenschied and Lialina downloaded the data.

In 2010, artists and partners Dragan Espenschied and Olia Lialina took on the herculean task of restoring a terabyte of GeoCities data that had been rescued and released as a torrent by the Archive Team, a loose federation of online archivists and programmers. It’s difficult to put an exact date on the end of GeoCities, in part because it acquired the stigma of obsolescence long before its official death in October 2009, when Yahoo! shuttered the site and in part because it lives on, through web captures and torrents and mirror sites – and through a project titled One Terabyte of Kilobyte Age. Actually, a friend of mine owns this homestead and he gave me this webspace as part of an advance birthday gift. “Well, I’ve had my holiday in the Philippines. “You might wonder why an Englishman has a web site in this geocities neighborhood,” he writes. He has close-cropped, mouse-brown hair, wears a black T-shirt and blocky aviator glasses, and holds a small camera in his large left hand. “I have a website,” proclaims the headline of his page in the Tokyo neighborhood of GeoCities, its large, bold letters painstakingly coded with HTML hex color codes to create a gradient from oxblood to coral to pale peach. In the mid-1990s, a Londoner named Bobby decided to introduce himself on the World Wide Web.
