I think the old 'Geocities' clones are more interesting than the real thing

Everyone talks about finding the original Geocities pages, but I found a whole network of sites from 2002 that tried to copy it, like 'Homestead Haven'. They're full of weird, personal stuff that feels more real than the big, famous pages. Has anyone else stumbled on one of these copycat sites?

Totally get that. Found a site called 'Digital Cabin' that was the same deal. Those knockoffs had way less polish, so people just posted whatever was on their mind. It's a better time capsule in a lot of ways.

Time capsules are for buried coffee cans, not websites.
