Thought I should post this here. Yahoo is finally killing off the free Geocities pages. From what I understand, this is going to happen over the summer. Until now, they haven't said when it's going to happen. Right now, I'm in the process of moving my MG stuff to a new (yet unknown location). What can I say, other than it's been a good run the past 11 years.

Apparently, there's a few organizations making a big push to archive everything they can load before the shutdown. I guess back in the day, a lot of experts would make a page, put up some information that's not really available elsewhere on the net, and eventually, the page was abandoned for one reason or another. So they're trying to save the knowledge before it's lost to the aether.

Quoth Aethian View PostSo no big loss to me, anyone remember when you could go to the 'neighborhood' and click on random pages?

I remember that too! Wow.
I guess it's getting too costly to run Geocities.1129. I will refrain from casting Dimension Jump and Magnificent Mansion on every police box we pass.

Oh geez. I better go and look at my old bookmarks and see if anything from geocities still exists. Don't want to lose some things.
Wow. I remember when I was thirteen or so and I made my first "webpage" on geocities. I forget which neighborhood it was in though.

Hosting - HostMonster, inexpensive and not bad.
I think there are some companies out there that also give you hosting and a domain for one flat rate.Quote Dalesys:

I'm disappointed that I can't use Geocities any longer since that was probably the only place that I could make a page that allowed me the "freedom" to place things where I wanted to put it.
Then again, I'm glad because it took two years for the idiots to understand the fact that I could see my site clearly but couldn't get into the Geocities home page. >.>Eh, one day I'll have something useful here. Until then, have a cookie or two.

Quoth JLRodgers View PostBack when they had the free website where you had to browse for a community, and actually pick a "street address" for your website (like "8504 tech lane" or something like that)?Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari

I had one of those addresses (can't remember what.... it was in some tech-based community I think)... but then something happened when it was lost (probably when they did a cleanup), but then it didn't matter because I was already at a different place anyway.
