Sites like these are particularly nostalgic for anyone who was making Websites around 1996. I'd give almost anything (maybe I'm exaggerating) if a) I could remember my old Geocities address and b) The Wayback Machine got to it before Geocities pulled the inactivity plug.
I don't think there's an "inactivity plug". When the announcement about Geocities being taken down came along I went and hunted out my old site and found it still going; it must have been a few years since I'd touched it and it was getting only a handful of hits (plus it was META-REFRESH redirected). The wayback machine never really went after the content of Geocities and the like, certainly it never had my stuff, presumably it was generally not worth keeping.
