i got a notif because i once, many many years ago, created a GeoCities account, and promptly forgot about it. looks like i'm not alone. Important notice: GeoCities is closing. 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: • Move your site to Yahoo! Web Hosting. We know your files are important to you, and we want to make moving to Web Hosting as easy and affordable as we can. For a limited time, you can move your files automatically, take advantage of terrific features like a personalized domain name and email, even redirect your GeoCities web address to your new site — all for only $4.99 a month for a full year.
