Well, if you have a spare Terabyte harddrive around, the archive team is currently in the process of compressing the entire geocities server:

ASCII by Jason Scott / Archiveteam! The Geocities Torrent

If you mail geotorrent@textfiles.com, they will send you a one time email when the torrent is ready to download.

Who is the genius that will turn this into $ ?

How did they obtain this? Scraping or did Yahoo give it up? Did they scrape while it was up, or did they scrape Way Back Machine?
