A friend told me my old GeoCities backup was a mess of broken links and it made me start saving full site copies instead of just bookmarks.
Now I use a simple tool called HTTrack to grab everything, because a bookmark is just a promise that a page will still be there tomorrow, and that promise gets broken a lot.

Wait, you had a GeoCities site and @perez.christopher is right, that stuff just disappears now.

A bookmark is just a promise" is such a true line. I read an article calling this "digital decay," where stuff just vanishes. Your method with HTTrack is the only real way to fight it.
