On his intro page Simon from SiliconValley/2877/ instructs users on how to survive in Browser War

“Please select your browser: Netscape v2.0 (or higher) or Other.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure you don’t select Netscape v2.0 if you’re not using it. Otherwise you might have problems viewing my page. Why? Because… This page is Netscape 2.0 enhanced. If you don’t have it and want it, get it now.”

This is a small collection of Geocities pages that “closed”, i.e. their authors announced their end, deleted everything and presented a link to a new URL outside of Geocities or to a soon, fresh and redesigned return. None of these “new” incarnations of the above examples does exists today, only the ruins survived, a state very common on Geocities sites.

The conclusion should be that “closing” sites is a questionable practice. Deleting all contents in the hope to draw temporary attention to something else puts the fruit of hard labor at risk of never being seen again.

Also, the lack of frequent updates is no reason to delete anything. Ten years later, nobody cares how often a web site was updated, only is if it is in any way interesting. The web is often seen as a medium of “now”, where data is instable, unreliable and volatile. But that is more of a lazy attitude than a given fact. So, webmasters, take the future into account!

This is a diagram of the Starship Enterprise’s (NCC1701E) energy system, created by Paul Black in November 1998. It is an outstanding example of modular design. With the presented elements, any other energy system of the Starfleet’s vessels could be modeled.

It is a very special feeling to find pages that are dead, that died before Geocities was killed, but with still intact calender scripts showing the current date. Even if the calculation is buggy. Like unwrapping a mummy, and suddenly it opens its eyes.

To have a Javascript put the current date and time on a web page is common web design sickness, because computers show this information in all possible places anyway. But it is a powerful tool to spook web archeologists.
