from RR on LJ [direct quote cut&paste]
"Geocities
Did y'all know they were closing?

I've known that Geo is closing for nearly 2 months, but
I've seen a few people saying "OMG, what?" stuff in their LJs.

October 26th is Dead Day according to Geo, so people with
Geocities as a host need to 1) save your stuff on your computer, 2)
pay $5 or so a month to have Geo host it as a paid member.

Fans: Quick--run to all your favorite stories, archives, fan sites hosted by
Geo and save them to your computer unless the archivist has *stated* that
they're planning to reupload them somewhere else.

I think that many fanfic writers are not planning to move their site.
Fandom love comes and goes, and if your fave author has not been active
for awhile, they might not even realize Geo is about to pull the plug."

so, yeah- if something you love is on geocities, grab&go if that's possible.
