Anybody remember Geocities?
Geocities was a Yahoo! owned service where users could publish their own websites for free. It was a very simple web hosting service that was popular during the late 90’s to early 2000’s. Eventually, the times changed and gone were the days of people creating cheesy personal websites with lots of colorful animated GIFs as backgrounds… The era of social media was upon us. This led to Yahoo! closing down Geocities.
As the head admin and designer for KAC, KotseAudioClub, I have made a lot of artwork for the group over the years. I was browsing through my Photobucket account and found a couple of them. I may have purged all the older ones to free up space on my Photobucket account.
Were you born in the 70’s or 80’s? If so, you probably have seen a couple of the ads I will feature in this blog entry.
I was a little bored and started searching for “vintage toy ads” and came upon those old ads that were notoriously placed in comic books during those periods. I really found them interesting as a kid and this discovery that some people had actually scanned and uploaded them on the internet sparked my interest to find more.
