Geocities Shutting Down at the end of October

I'm surprised that I haven't seen that much about this news piece- at least not on the news sites I frequent, which are mainly about gaming anyway. I read about it on a forum thread at ttlg.com.

As the title says, Geocities, Yahoo's webhosting service, which has provided many free solutions for people over the years, is shutting down at the end of October, and new accounts are not being accepted.

I was at one time looking at Geocities as a possible place to host a website, but it looks as though this won't materialize now.
