After just viewing an obscure website* it's just occurred to me that we're soon going to lose a lot of old websites that have survived the geocities demise that were a labour of love for the then middled aged people who started them and kept them going as these people start dying of old age and their family don't keep them going. Time to start scraping for posterity.
*British Telecom vehicles and liveries from the 1960s-1990s as you didn't ask.
