Geocities Shutdown means the End for some Fansites

Sat Jul 11, 2009, 5:32 AM
I happened to check my yahoo email today, and got this message concerning my old fansite:

"Dear Yahoo! GeoCities customer, We're writing to let you know that Yahoo! GeoCities, our free web site building service and community, is closing on October 26, 2009. On October 26, 2009, your GeoCities site will no longer appear on the Web, and you will no longer be able to access your GeoCities account and files. What You Need to Do If you'd like to move your web site, or save the images and other files you've posted online, you need to act now by choosing one of the following options..."


...And it continues on with either paying for monthly subscriptions, or download your stuff before it's gone. I hate to see this happen, but it was inevitable. It was visiting tons of Geocities webpages that got me into the online fandom in the first place, which I'm sure is the same story for countless others.

While most people have their own sites or are using hosting websites like fanfiction.net and deviantArt nowadays, there's a lot of the older fans who've kept their Geocities pages up since as long as I can remember. I always visited Kali Gargoyle's site, Ria-Angelo, Azure, and countless others.. The 'ring of green' from years ago may cease to exist all together..


So if you know someone who's got a Geocities site, please inform them about this. It'd be a crime to lose so much effort...

P.S.

On an unrelated note, I'm trying some different approaches for improving my relationship with my Muse. So it I can get my scanner up and running, I'll be snagging a quilt for a certain OC I've enjoyed following..

I finally got to see Transformers 2 last night. I'll probably post something about that later, but I've gotten a real liking to the franchise again... I'll have to do some research. ;)

Dear Rest of the world. I was too young to vote when Bush was elected. Of course he was not really elected by a majority of Americans in the first place.

We're Sorry
Thanks for the fave!

I made you suffer and that doesn't feel right. I thought my knife would snuff you out like a light. How rude of me! A quick beheading will end your fright!
Thanks for the watch.
