They were actually kind of cute when they first started. I liked their concept of classifying sites into cities (most of my friends ended up in Area 51). They went downhill after a while though - too many ads, too many subscribers. Finally Yahoo took them over and they canceled their cities concept and became just another ad farm. Eh well.
It started around 1997 I think, which was 11 years ago -- so if you're around 22 or 23 now, that would put you at about 11 in 1997, (which is a young and curious yet oddly intellectual age when websites on Geocities may be appealing). Of course "kid" could be defined as anything from 6 - 16, so there's a range...
