Well, now we know why Go.com had so many down-times recently. They're folding. It's all over the news that Disney is shutting down go.com. They say they are moving some parts of it to other servers but there is not word yet whether that includes their free homepages.

It was a nice little cummunity we'd got going there too, on the message boards. I have 8 go.com sites and now it looks like I'm going to loose the lot. (Thank goodness I always build off-line and have copies on my computer *and* on floppy discs.)

Sigh. Looks like it's back to Geocities.

well... since you obviously don't care about ads, you can probably try out http://redrival.com , it's got great support, and pretty reliable...

They will not be folding up entirely though they will stream down the website in the transition phase so that they can switch to a newer system. Also, they will be firing abt 400 employees.
