    my geositites account works but i do have a massage on the top it says .

    Important Announcement

    After careful consideration, Yahoo! has decided to close GeoCities later this year.

    You can continue enjoying your GeoCities service until then — we just wanted you to let you know about the closure as soon as possible. We'll share more details this summer. For now, please visit the help center for more information.

    They may be trying to reduce their overall cost, resource usage, etc... by shutting down non-critical services....
