Yahoo Kills Off Geocities

[JimsKnight]

Well, Yahoo's gone and done it.

They've set the scuttling charges and sent the lot down into the deep black hole.

Geocities, so beloved by folks wanting a no-frills and freebie website is no more:

Anyone on TV affected by this?

This post is dedicated to Geocities.......

And lets not forget......

[eek]

I was affected, but thankfully i read the warnings about closure some time ago so moved some stuff i had geocities host for me. Not big deal stuff, just some personal stuff, but been there for some time with a large number of hits. Took me some time to copy to a new site (as i had to do it all manually )

Was informed of it many months ago as I'm a member of a GeoCities WebRing. In this case, the webring system was migrated over to another facility and me with them.

Had a free site there, and moved it recently to another free web host.

They didn't allow you to leave a forwarding site address, presumably to encourage you to take out paid services with them.

Was the auto-migrate to a freebie site or a paid one?

The reason I ask that is that AFAIK the carrot dangled by Geo was a paid-for server...
