Geocities is closing down forever on 26 October 2009. If you have anything on Geocities you MUST save it NOW or permanently lose it. Please pass this on to anyone that may not know Geocities is permanently being closed.
Oh well thanks for the update then dreamhost even gave free accounts to people holdin geocities accounts
For anyone needing to save files: Go to your Geocities file manager. Right click "View" for the file you want to save. Click "Save link as ..." FYI you can no longer get to Geocities through the Yahoo interface. You must go to http://geocities.yahoo.com/gcp/home.php and navigate to your file manager from there.
They emailed me, too, but I did not get the message until LAST week. I know of at least two others who NEVER got the message and did not know until I posted this.
Some of the old stuff was saved as part of this guy's pet project: http://reocities.com (note the "R"). Not that I have any nostalgia for those ugly pages or anything...LOL
