the rambling fanatic

I was shocked but at the same time not to read that Yahoo will shutting down its free webhosting service Geocities later this year. Not too long ago AOL closed its free service and free services have been disappearing faster than the polar ice cap lately so I never assumed Geocities was safe. However, it is sad to see it go. So many fansites were hosted on Geocities and many still are. Sure the layout screamed early 90s but it served as a valuable resource for fandoms.
