To a certain extent, Wikipedia has replaced a lot of the old Geocities sites for a certain subject. The sort of nerdy/obsessive detail is still there, it's just kinda centralised on a fairly bland website. Your opinion on if this is an improvement or not depends on your affinity for animated GIFs I guess :) The Geocities style stuff still exists, it is just the discovery is harder now as you will find the Wikipedia page first and then probably stop reading. Things like webrings we're kinda cool for discoverability.
