I guess that means I will have to find another hosting site? Yuk, mine has been up since 1996 or so, and it will be a real hassle to redo it.
I've always rued the day when Yahoo bought out Geocities and started charging for extra space and the like, while screwing up its "homestead" friendliness in favor of a more corporate look and feel. It sucked. Now, Yahoo is finally pulling the plug on it, but leaving behind a lot of good web memories.
Its kind of sad. I am sure it costs money to upkeep but its like a webarchive being taken offline.
I had a geocities site that I used to host my images. I paid $5/month for 7-8 years until they upped it to $8 a year or so ago.
When I got the notice that they were taking it down, I moved all my stuff over one of my other domains. It was something I should have done many years ago, but geocites was just convenient. Oh well, cya.
Oh great! What’s next, Livermore’s Centennial Light?
Have they no respect for History, Tradition, or (egads!) the Internet itself???
Very first websites were on GeoCities.
Once I learned how DNS and web hosting worked, I put my site on my desktop with web sharing. I now run my own multimedia web server with email, streaming, forums, and blogs on a 486/66 with Ubuntu. I leave the mySQL stuff to my 2008 server; mySQL doesn’t play nice with 512 MB of RAM.

Crap, I had a geocities page back in the day. Sorry to see them going under.
