Just so people who may have freebie sites with Geocities, it, like many other providers of formerly-free web space, will be shutting down its free-made (anything made possible with their Pagebuilder program) sites permanently in October of this year.

Time to get on a paid site, if you don't already have one, and collect info from those older sites you might like - some might not be maintained any more, and still have fun info or images, old logs and such.

Myself, I have like... 60 geocities sites (as I collect cyberpets and they take a lot of space!) which I'm getting moved over to my paid yahoo account. But I'm also "rescuing" probably a dozen other related sites, that have long since been dusty from neglect by their owners who moved on from that community.

So... Just a heads up. Get your sites saved while you can.

At least they gave some kind of notice (only in the geocities starter page, admittedly, they should have sent emails) where as AOL didn't, and others shut down abruptly in the past.

Hmm... oh yeah, I do have a website. I don't think it's Geocities, unless 4t.com is under the Geocities family. http://asahina.4t.com been a loooong time since I've done anything with that one though. Tons more ads than when I first got it too.
