And the HTML tables -- oh, the tables However, enough people did care about the demise of Geocities to form a group that calls itself The Archive Team, which began grabbing as much of Geocities as it could before Yahoo killed it.
On Sunday, that archive of Geocities was made available in torrent form -- a 652-GB torrent.
If you dont want to download 0.65 terabytes of the web equivalent of space junk, you can merely browse one of the several mirrors the Archive Team has set up at reocities.com, geociti.es, geocities.ws and oocities.org.

So the Archive Team did what it could, as well as other independent teams around the world, and some amount of Geocities was saved.
