That really sucks a lot of free information will disappear from the internet
-
I thought it has already been dead for quite sometime, no? -
They already ceased new subscriptions for webhosting.
If I remember correctly, they're going to end their webhosting service by the end of the year? -
Surely it's a case of suicide. The amount of ads with which they burdened their sites was far, far too much.-
Agreed.

Those were the days when good ol post need be discarded unless you backed it all up!
-
Good riddance, I say.-
agreed.
-
-
To be fair, it's been dead for a while now anyway.
-
I can' believe I keep finding this at the top of the forum. So what the heck I'll bump it too - Geocities is dead! (another excessive advertising suicide)
-
Well lets hope for the best this wont happen to bc, wp, or blgr! Ya all know what i mean!
-
It was past its prime. Yahoo has a new service which may be of interest though, glue.yahoo.com They already have a better web page service. -
Thanks so much for that useful information! Its just that Geocities got a lot of useful info way back and its like we'd be wondrin if this is the case, others would likewise suffer the same situation! Fingers crossed!
-
It's rather sad, but Yahoo! has been trying to kill it ever since they took it over, as the tried to kill other things they took over (like web rings). -
Geocities sucked anyway. I always hated visiting sites created with them. -
- Old news! Bumped by the defiant dollinNYC, a contestant in the pointless thread resurrection and necroposting spree, along with other contestants LisaNYC, harveyavatar, and gerryplanetearth. w00t! what a team.

@dollinNYC
I humbly apologize and I mean it. -
doll get a screen shot lol
I edited, after I read the comment , point taken -
- Yes, I sure as heck did make a mistake. I leaped to a conclusion based on the earlier resurrection thread posted by Rory that we had been commenting in.

I did not carefully look at the date and I was wrong.
I sincerely apologize. I am sorry. -
Thanks Kat.

@Suzie
- Thanks for pointing that out. I just didn't look carefully at the date.
-
@tt: I missed it the first time as well. These threads can be trickier than putting floss in your kids teeth and telling them to pull.

Geeze TT what the hell
-
Be lenient Kat
A personality split, even if only temporarily. -
- Suggesting that someone else has a personality disorder or a mental illness is an attempt to demean them. Please don't do it.

can I suggest a thread

@TT: How about public excommunications? You didn't even talk to me about it first. No, honestly TT, I don't think you should complain.

Great links, I might just save my webpage from the year 1997 that I made on Geocities.

-
TT those are great links - they are Canadian tho - so just take out the Ca part?
Or what?
Prolly just go look it up - I have a geocities link and I should probably go take it apart and put it somewhere else. -
Thanks for the lead. Geocities is going to go, with all its content and resource--not just the geneology stuff. Hence, I just did a post and new discussion thread on how to re-direct your site. Will appreciate your comments and suggestions to re-build our sites and get the traffic as-is:

My first website was there on Charles Dickens! I did it for a college computer class. It wasn't much, but it sure was a great time of research and creating such a simple site compared to what is out there today! I don't even remember where it was at Geocities. -
October 26th, 2009...last day! GeoCitites gooooooooooone! -
Did you know this: a blogger says:
quote, "I can't read Japanese, but Yahoo! GeoCities Japan doesn't currently mention anything about closure on it's index page." un-quote.
Note: I have added a link to this message and other geocities' issues at my blog: mtindias.blogspot.com/2009/10/geocities-is-going-how-to-redirect-your.html
In case you hear anything, keep me posted and I will update the details on geocities related issues.
Thanks for all the support.
