JimsKnight Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 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: http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2009/10/...days-remembered Anyone on TV affected by this?

eek Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 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 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, the webring system was migrated over to another facility and me 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
