Yahoo shutting down Geocities

[andrewwski]

Yikes. One of the, if not the, biggest free website hosts will be gone later this year. The amount of stuff on Geocities is enormous. This means a ton of content on the internet will be...gone.

I guess that means the original SOSC will disappear.

Well I can move anything over to the wiki that hasn't already been moved.

[sihT etupmoC]

Yeah starpug I think you should make a new section for the events that have links on that website, on their wiki to copy and paste the links

[andrewwski]

Since that is basically just a page of external links, you could just save it (File-Save As in IE or Firefox) and keep an HTML version of that page. Then upload that.

Page hasn't been updated since 1997 it looks like - which explains why a lot of the links are bad anyway.

[Dark Sabre]

lol...I think I already moved over all the working and worthwhile links. I was just mourning its final death.

[GGuy5]

i think Google is going to buy out Yahoo

[andrewwski]

Not likely.

[GGuy5]

but a good possibility

[andrewwski]

A good possibility would imply that it's somewhat likely.

It's not.

It's extremely unlikely. Google doesn't need that mess on their hands. Would make absolutely no sense from their perspective.
