Yahoo deleting Geocities sites - GoFuckYourself.com

Dagwolf · 05-15-2006, 01:08 PM

I just got this notice from Geocities... Apparently they were about ready to delete my first website, built in 1998. If you have anything there with sentimental value, better check it...

and if you send it to 15 of your friends, and they send it to 15 of their friends, Geocities will be forced not to delete any more websites....

Actually I thought it was a phishing email at first, but it's for real. They had actually suspended the site.

hehe i love going back looking at old stuff, it's like "wow what a fucking noob i was back then"

xclusive · 05-15-2006, 01:16 PM

Damn that sucks. I'll have to check if any of my old stuff is still there.

Ace_luffy · 05-15-2006, 01:21 PM

tha't bad news

Screaming · 05-15-2006, 01:22 PM

damn.. dont have anything over there thank god.

Sosa · 05-15-2006, 01:26 PM

fuck geocities

Splum · 05-15-2006, 01:32 PM

web.archive.org has all your sites backed up

majorbitch · 05-15-2006, 01:35 PM

More like geoshities. Although I do remember having a site there around.. 1996. I'm pretty sure it's been deleted :P

L0rdJuni0r · 05-15-2006, 01:37 PM

that sucks i guess for people that have their free sites. i have always paid for mine....

ParkAvenue · 05-15-2006, 01:50 PM

Is that a NEW policy? I thought they already had a rule that if you didn't update within a certain period of time they deleted it.

madawgz · 05-15-2006, 03:15 PM

huh? why do they need to delete sites?

SilentKnight · 05-15-2006, 04:23 PM

Yahoo sucks. Always has...always will. They're among the ranks of organizations that embraces copyright infringement.

Swanks · 05-15-2006, 08:22 PM

yea those pricks owned one of my really old sites i made back when i was haxin up notepad .

AmeliaG · 05-15-2006, 08:36 PM

That seems like a kinda sucky thing to do. I wouldn't think they would need the diskspace, so I'm not sure what the advantage of deleting people's sites would be.

SomeCreep · 05-15-2006, 08:40 PM

I've never seen a geocities website that didnt like pure dog poop. They should delete them all.

pussyluver · 05-15-2006, 10:10 PM

You knew it was gonna happen someday. I can't remember all of them I did. Had a list, damn if I know what I did with it. Plus all those different email accounts...

RawAlex · 05-15-2006, 10:12 PM

It is the best thing that could happen... millions of useless pages flushed.

reynold · 05-15-2006, 11:41 PM

good thing i don't have any stuff in there but surely lots of people won't like it.

sex69 · 05-15-2006, 11:52 PM

Some other free hosting services do the same. The point here is to get rid of stale and forgotten pages.
