This might not be the most appropriate place to ask, but I know many
people here have pages at Geocities.

What's with it? It's been REALY slow for me this week, when I can
connect at all. Is it just me, or is Geocities being GeoScrewy?

Geocities is ALWAYS screwey for me! It only completely works properly at
insane hours of the day and even then your never sure when when that
damn "Fatal Error 500" will pop up and not let you save the pages worth
of data you`ve spent the last while typing..

If your not to bothered about lots of space and custom graphics then
check out Tripod (http://www.tripod.com). The server never crashes and
well.. need I say more!

I'm one of your neighbors (I still remember what your first page
looked like :) And yes, it's been bogging down. I had a hell of a
getting in to add the Webring info (I'll get those graphics fixed
"Real Soon (tm)").

Too small. If you're willing to wait a couple of
weeks for an opening, try
http://www.cybercity.hko.net/ ;10 megs of space,
scripts allowed, any subject. If you can't wait,
don't need scripts, and can watch your language, go
to http://www.toptown.com/ ;10 megs of space as well.
Hope this helps!

Try Cybercity just for the script capability; gives
you more options ;just be patient, though :(

Cybercity is totally free, Toptown requires a banner
ad to be placed on your site unless you pay
something, I think five bucks. I figure a little free
advertising is worth 10 megs of space. :)
