It brings back fond memories of "yesteryear" when geocities is hot like pancakes. At those times, Geocities was on of the first to provide such free services. You were also right that the shut down will eradicate many long-forgotten websites (admittedly, I was on of those). Owning a website is owning a piece of "real estate" in the cyberspace. The difference is that with a free web site, you don't own it and once it got shut down, it's gone for good. Thank you for your post.

Most of sites on geoities now do not have any real value or important content. I tried to use geocities 8 years ago, but I didn’t really like it.
