I think the death of Geocities heralds the end of Web 1.0. But I already miss it. I spent countless hours in middle school and early high school putting together a site...and then I spent twice as much time in the past year trying to find the damn site. So I'll miss it.
I'm sorry this is such a big deal to me. Its because of Geocities (and my leet 'Webmasters' club in middle school) that ultimately led me to the internets. It was like a gateway drug. Well no, hypertext was the gateway drug.
Spree.com, something that probably existed even before geocities, died a long time ago. It was sad because it was the first host that held a web page from me.
Can't believe geocities is dead though.
None.
Hardly. I got my first trojan a decade ago off someone's
lovely Geoshites site. That event about sums up the length and breadth of my nostalgia with it.
Good riddance.
None.
I had 2 accounts in my original attempts to make a website for Geocities. It sucked, it honestly did, their bandwidth limit was horrendous and their site maker is what made my website originally horrible looking. I won't miss it.
Googlepages, on the other hand, I might miss a bit, not to mention I need to get all my stuff off their server and onto the new one before they transfer it over to Google Sites, a horrible feature that doesn't even allow external javascript/CSS...
None.

Imagine if google suddenly says they're on bankruptcy and they'll shut down ALL their services
fuck you all

I will piss myself the day that happens, then afterward, cheer like a motherfucker. Yahoo > Google anyday.
I'll miss Geocities. I too remember the days trying to make a page with it, and the free service. Such a.. Tiring, yet memorable experience it was.

Totally. IE also owns Firefox.Agreed. I don't need a globe humping fox to surf the internet in the same way with a annoying blue "e".

Relatively ancient and inactive
I don't really miss it. I tried to make a website on it once, but got bored, and I think I used CJB or something afterwards until I got my own hosting.
None.
Yes. Countless pages have I visited on GeoCities... ;o They were awful (to put it nicely, even), but they were the websites I'd see mostly.

I wish I could remember the addresses of my old GeoCities accounts so I can look back at how amazingly crappy they were.
And on a side note, gotta love the XKCD dedication.
EDIT:
Damnit, beat me to it. That's what i get for leaving the reply post open for so long. Haha.

None.

Did XKCD do some sort of shitty Geocities reskinning?
tits
I will miss Geocities in that it is the end of an era, and a lot of sites which I used back when I modded Escape Velocity were hosted there and will now pass away into non-existence. However, the majority of sites on there were horrible to look at and reminded me of the kind of shirts Screech wore in Saved by the Bell.
None.
