Old GeoCities users who benefited from the free service can upgrade to a paid hosting service to keep their sites/files up. Yahoo has canceled many services in the past few years, and their alleged reason for these terminations was to provide their users with better services and experiences. But, the real reason for this is to simply save/make more money. I personally believe that Yahoo is so money-faced that it could eventually ruin the company.

This philosophy of maximizing profits no matter who you must kill is killing the capitalist world. And I do not believe they do not keep the records for eventual use, all this material we made during at least thirteen years has information value. I hope most people did as I did, not paying and migrating to free services. If you pay u$ 60,00 the first year, then u$ 120,00 the second, and so on, for so little, you are feeding the wolf.
