Article: !!!WARNING!!! Geocities JP is Closing Down, Help Needed

[Juu-bei7]

Appears to be H"s abandoned website, and for some reason the links remain intact. I'm almost certain those works are already uploaded here, but I've saved those anyway

Found Another One! This Geocities.jp Site Does Not Have Characters Or Stages But The First Link It Will Lead To Is A Site That Has 27 Characters And Some Stages! Ahhhh...A Nice Find! Have Fun! ^_-

I Think...I Found Another One! I Don't Know If The Closing Of Geocities.jp Will Also Affect Geocities.ws. Since The Geocities Crash Of 2009, There Seems To Be A Lot Of Geocities.ws Sites With Dead Links! But Just In Case I Will Post The Source If Someone Is Looking For Some Stages! This Site Has A Total Of "6" Stages! Have Fun, Yo! ⊂(▀¯▀⊂)

I remember Geocities from browsing the internet in the past, but I don't think I went there often enough to get used to it. Its a shame to see it go.

Regarding the following link :
Unknown Author: http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Toys/6661/mugen.htm
There is only one link here and it was a placeholder, the file was never available from the google translation of the page.

Regarding the broken urls, I could fix the first one :
http://www.geocities.jp/mugen2004rai...rigger_top.htm > http://www.geocities.jp/mugen2004raisu/mugentrigger_mugen_lifebar.htm (it's already down sadly)

I couldn't figure out the other one but it's probably a copy-paste issue, please check where you found the original link and try right click, save link url.

EDIT : I think I figured it out : http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-King/2823/index.html
It's already on the list.

Don't cry @3EOZA here some snickers... Better?

[Juu-bei7]

@CoolAnimeHustler I've been able to download from some geocities.ws pages, Idk if they will get shut down too.. but I'll save them just in case.
@Dizzy there is a link to a second download page that hosts Neogouki's Rock Howard (and it hasn't been hosted here yet). From the looks of it though I don't think he's created anything at all. But thanks for the help! I'll update the list.

Respectful topic @changha0918's, one of the best, goodluck you'll saving as much as you can, i try to do the same, and backing you up. Peace

sorry to see it happen, but that is the way of the net sometimes, if the creator is still active/alive, the content will be made on a new site builder, like the new Squarespace (think is the name, not sure) and the content will be available again.

so here's hoping that those geocities users' content doesnt go away forever.

is this site made on Geocitiys?
edit: i saw the saying "if you found the sites that are affected, please post the links here and help us archive them before it's too late !" so this site is NOt made on Geocitiys

[gerarc21]

So while this happens... Why nobody buy my snickers, it costs a like for it...

Good Evening, Yo! Found Another Geocities.ws Site! Unfortunately, I'm Not Able To Download The Characters But This Site Has About 62 MUGEN Stages! So Many Environments! A Nice Find, Indeed! Have Fun! ^_^

I'm starting to consider adding .ws sites to the list, but for now I'll keep those links in my bookmarks. I'll also save them on the Wayback when I'm in the mood for it.

EDIT: I just did a bit of research and it turns out geocities.ws is a entirely separate project to archive and preserve Geocities content that is about to be lost, so the shutdown should not affect them in any way.

[CoolAnimeHustler]

@Juu-bei7 That's Awesome! I Wasn't Sure About Geocities.ws Sites But That's A Sigh Of Relief! Just In Case If I Find Any More "ws" Websites, Do You Want Me To Post Them Here On This Topic Or Are We Just Focusing On "jp" Sites? ^_^

[anthimus]

I'm starting to consider adding .ws sites to the list, but for now I'll keep those links in my bookmarks. I'll also save them on the Wayback when I'm in the mood for it.

Friend thats also what i meant, with (backing u'll up) i have so many bookmarks i just don't wanna copy paste it all, and let u do my work. I will fill in as much TB's as i can, but u'll don't have to do my work. But for the guys who don't have 100-1000mbit glass fiber, like we dumb rich people in Holland have, i can understand your DL takes much time, therefore posting links is cool though. Helping in anyway rite guys... GOODLUCK YOU'LL!

[Juu-bei7]

@CoolAnimeHustler now that we know geocities.ws is safe, it won't be much of a priority and I wanna keep the list short and relevant. Maybe you could publish your list of .ws links separately and I can back them up on another occasion.
@anthimus I've already saved all the content hosted on geocities.jp, but if you wanna make sure I didn't miss anything be my guest :)

[anthimus]

@Juu-bei7 ohhh wasn't it big size wise? thought we were talking about a huge amount of endless geocities pages containing hundreds of +GB's or TB's? then i mis understood.

[Juu-bei7]

@anthimus Yep, I did it over the span of 3 days. Trust me, it wasn't fun. At all :/

[anthimus]

@Juu-bei7 you award worthy friend, you good guy, u just like me and all of us dedicated M.A. members, cause where are "we" without the lurkers? I was one.... thats why i have much respect for some of them, they do so much for Mugen, but don't want any appreciation, which is humble and good from heart.

[3EOZA]

... But for the guys who don't have 100-1000mbit glass fiber, like we dumb rich people in Holland have, i can understand your DL takes much time, therefore posting links is cool though. Helping in anyway rite guys... GOODLUCK YOU'LL!

I'll be lucky to get more than 1Mb/s, let alone 100.
Soon... Soon...

[gerarc21]

So what's next?

[Ghelvex99]

oh no closed the web site where upload share and download stages characters for mugen is terrifying news.
