In case any MU*s out there are still using this service for their website (I recall years ago several that were) and are otherwise unaware, thought I'd pass this along.....

RIP geocities. You've left me with many good memories of the internet's infancy.

Bumping it in the chance that it might attract the attention of anyone who will be affected.

On another forum I posted this there was a site that used Geocities and hadn't been checked by its owner for some time so there are apparently sites out there which will be affected and don't know.

Therefore, bumping it again for the sake of those potentially affected but as yet unaware....

*bumped again*

Less than four weeks remaining until they close down Geocities. As another reminder, even if your game doesn't use Geocities for its webpage, you may have related sites with information about your theme that do use it. Might be a good idea to check out those sites and see if they do and, if so, make copies of any information you may want to reference in the future.

Just use a web crawler to create a mirror

Like HTTrack for example:
