I just got an email a few days ago announcing that my website would be gone.  Considering how much will be lost, this is pretty big news for the internet in general.

I am sure there is quite a bit of FBB stuff still on there, but not for long.  Most hasn't been updated in e-aeons, but it is still a good place to dig up some gems.  If you don't want to go digging up Web Archive after the closure, you may want to go digging over on the Geocities Main Page (scroll down for search) or use the Google site search.

And story archives, ZZZ's and Panther's to name just a few.  Cry

Any reason(s) given for this massive wipeout of the entire geocities.com setup?

The email said something about transferring my account to Yahoo web hosting, which costs $4.95/year with a domain.  I guess sites like MySpace and Facebook rendered Geocities obsolete from a business perspective

I just hope they don't pull the plug on Yahoo Groups as well.
