FC2Web's old server is going down :(

[boreal_cryptid]

after more than 25 years, FC2Web will be closing their old server with free hosting, moving to another one, and presumably deleting old webpages. at least, i assume so (read the post). i wouldn't want old websites to vanish...

automatic translation of their post from Japanese:

Thank you for using FC2WEB.
We would like to announce that FC2WEB service will be terminated on June 30, 2025 (Monday).
We would like to express our deepest gratitude for your patronage.
The FC2WEB system has been in operation for over 20 years,
The system and servers are aging and difficult to maintain.
Therefore, we have decided to consolidate the operation of FC2WEB to "FC2 Home Page", which is still under development and maintenance. (...)
If you would like to continue to use our free homepage space, please contact us, (...)
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

reminds me of guestbook123... rest in peace.

That's the life of internet, unfortunately. I do believe that at some point in the future, Melonland and Neocities will shut down and disappear forever.

It's nice to inform people, maybe some of the users will save their websites and move somewhere else !
