    Yahoo deleting Geocities sites

    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...

    Your GeoCities Service

    Dear GeoCities Member (2nd notice),

    We noticed that you haven't updated your web site in a while. If you wish to keep your web site,
    we encourage you to update it within the next 3
    days so that it will not be deleted due to
    inactivity. If your web site is deleted, visitors
    will no longer be able to access your web site
    and all files will be permanently deleted.

    Updating your site can be as easy. Just modify
    any web page in your directory and save it.

    If your web site needs require more functionality,
    you may want to take a look at any of our new
    premium packages. You can read more about them
    at http://geocities.yahoo.com/ps/info/. Premium
    members not only get great features, but are also
    ensured against deletions due to inactivity.


    Thank you for using GeoCities.

      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.

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

                                              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.

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

                                                              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.
