"We have enjoyed hosting web sites created by Yahoo! users all over the world, and we?re proud of the community you?ve built.

However, we have decided to focus on helping our customers explore and build relationships online in other ways. Beginning on October 26, 2009, you will no longer be able to use GeoCities to maintain a free presence online ? but we?re excited about the other services we have designed to help you connect with friends and family and share your activities and interests."

It means they aren't making enough money with it anymore (can't believe they paid $3.6 billion for it originally :shocked:) and want to transition those people using it to paid hosting, if possible.
