Hi everyone I got some disturbing news this morning and this news sucks big time!
Yahoo! GeoCities has decided to be discontinued. Sometime this year, GeoCities will shut down for good. That means all GeoCities websites will be lost.
And here is exactly is said when GeoCities members log into their webpage manager.
"Important Announcement After careful consideration, Yahoo! has decided to close GeoCities later this year.
You can continue enjoying your GeoCities service until then — we just wanted you to let you know about the closure as soon as possible. We'll share more details this summer. For now, please visit the help center for more information."
Which means all that hard work stuff we GeoCities webmasters and webmistresses have put is now going to be lost!

Unfortunately Stephanie that is exactly what it means. I know it sucks. I'm losing all my websites I worked so hard on. I have a Sailor Moon which is 8 years old and a Voltron which is also 8 years old and I'm losing them both. It really bugs me about that.

That's great. I'm glad you found it. At least a story you have liked and enjoyed very much will be saved.

If, a big IF, GeoCities was to change, I would inform everyone.
The only reason why I an informing here in the first place is for those people who like looking in GeoCities webpages and don't have a GeoCities website.

Hehe, if people's fanfics get deleted without them saving them, anyone else would be sneaky and post it on fanfiction.net claiming it as there work, and they'd have no proof of them copying from them. I wouldn't do it. But there are others who might. So, whoever doesn't want that to happen to there stories better save them.

I never thought of it that way. But it's true. I know I'm an honest one. So tell all your friends who don't already know of the closing.
And for the record all the news I have given you, came from my GeoCities manager page and the last post was from my email itself.

If anyone's interested, there's a site called Reocities that has saved as much Geocities as possible. All you have to do to see if a site is there is replace the G in Geocities with an R. If a site you're looking for isn't there, don't give up hope. As far as I know, the man running Reocities hasn't finished going through the data yet, so the site might eventually be added.
