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.

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.

Well, it turn out to be true

Anyway, who visit geocities anyway nowadays.

Opsss.. its memory when we are kid.. is sad to heard this.. how come yahoo cant support it anymore?

Geocities huh..what a nostalgic name to me.

It had been at least 10 years that I never hear this name anymore.

So why is it closing down?

Facebook and blog, to name a few.

Geocities, lycos, angelfire, xoom, tripod...all the names we used to love are all closing down .

Not to mention my first website was on geocities...Din't expect it to be closed down exactly as my birth day

Haha... Happy birthday to SnoWFisH.
I never started on Geocities. I started in Freewebs.

They are closing down because the amount of users are dropping?

yeah, hepy besday to u too, SnoWFisH.
frankly, i use a lot geocities in good old day.even now there still data on there.
thanks folk for dis news.gotta download all down first.

I guess Web 2.0 and the age of blogs proved too much for Geocities to survive...

All those names sound so "1995" to me..I guess that those were first things that I learned when I start to use computer and internet..

Definitely felt nostalgic when thinking it back...old times..

Yeah....xoom was the only provider that offered unlimited storage, but i opted for geocities cuz i can use ftp to upload my pages...

Sigh...bye bye geocities .

lycos is closing down meh? I still using its email service & it still available

Just asking, they are just closing all the servers or killing only the index files?

Because, this site:
http://www.withinwindows.com/

Shows that GeoCites is closing down but when you visit one of the bloggers directory,
http://www.withinwindows.com/wp-content/th...swithin/images/

Its so funny, either the guy is pulling a fast one or really its gone.

UPDATE: hmm http://www.withinwindows.com/wp-login.php

who cares la. geocities damn noob la. LOL! even weebly also better...freewebs also not bad. geocities totally sucks, man. no offense, ya...geocities lover.

i'd never used geocities service, dunno how it works

Ok, I am not lover too but GeoCites are hosted on their very speedy servers, Yahoo is one of the largest searching company, so hosting there is a good idea but I never thought of it

Ah, Geocities. I used to work my first few sites on Geocities. Sad to hear that, they're going away now Thanks for the info though

Wuu .. you must feels great eh? I mean, saying the only thing that offer beginner webhosting in pre-2000 as sucks must made you proud.

Wee .. everyone noob, you're great

No offence but prior to 2000, only Geocities and Xoom servers were fast enough for me. The rest were quite slow.

3 more hours to 27th October in the US
