right, the parent was commenting that yahoo is essentially throwing away a site that has a very high number of backlinks.

Seems to me that they would have been better off letting it go read-only, and then attempt to use it to sell other Yahoo services (I mean, if they thought the abuse costs of continuing to run geocities were too high; And I imagine that the abuse costs were the only real serious costs associated with continuing to run it.)




When they killed it it had a higher Alexa rank than Digg too.
