Geoshities
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
It turned into an overly bloated crapfest within a few years. Anybody, and I mean anybody could have their very own webpage yippiee yay lol which made the place slow as fuck, since everybody was crammed onto like 3 servers in somebody's basement. Some argue that it's amazing that Geoshitties still exists as it clearly is not Web 2.0 and as such is old.
Despite all this, the company managed to go public and get stocks and everything, which made Yahoo! crap its pants cause that was their job. So they bought out Geocities, and made it even worse somehow. The price? $3.57 billion. Yes, that's Carl Sagan billion with a B.

[edit] Popular Uses
Today, the service is the perfect place to put your fanfic and slash and stupid shit nobody cares about... Until it gets popular because the internets are fickle, and then it craps out every hour on the hour until Yahoo! gets off their ass and gives you more bandwidth. Of course, you could always buy bandwidth for your free service, which just makes you fucking stupid.
