Subject: GeoCities
Let us take a moment of silence in honour of the late GeoCities, which died
in the afternoon of the 27th of October, 1999.
And the hundreds of thousands of innocent websites that died with it.
And the owners of those websites, many of whom had not backed up their sites
and had no idea how to save copies of their pages.
And those who tried, but found that Yahoo!'s directions didn't work, because
their browser wouldn't save pages with frames.
And those who succeeded, but found that the pages that resulted still had
empty side-frames for the Yahoo! ads.
And, all too often, are finding that there is now no way to get from
one page to another, now that the GeoCities servers are off-line.
And that the images don't show up on the pages, either.
But let us also honour those techies who, even though it was announced that
GeoCities would close on the 26th, did not shut it down at midnight on
Sunday
but busied themselves with so many things that it was actually Tuesday
afternoon before things stopped.
Thereby allowing the saving of so many last-minute things.
A moment of silence, please.

And now, in order to make this FK-relevant, let me remind folks that a lot
of Forever Knight websites have been moved to the archive, and many more are
safely stowed on my computer (and backed up on a flashdrive), awaiting my
attention. For a full list, go to this page on the Forever Knight Wiki:

A site called ReoCities tried to save as much as possible before GeoCities
closed down: http://reocities.com/
Perhaps some of those FK sites could find a home here!

I agree the nudity and swearing are so unnecessary. The story content is
better than I first thought. I bought the 1st season after a friend convinced
me to try watching it again. It's definitely much edgier. I will keep an
ear out for the music now :)

I watched the first episode and was totally turned off. FK would never be
so crude. FK is a class act.
Also is anyone getting FK coming up on their schedule guide on Brighthouse
I also have DirectTV and they don't show anything for FK. Is Brighthouse
dropping the ball?

Is there no chiller channel on Bright house? I was thinking of getting
rid of Direct Tv and getting Bright house because I don't have CW which is
playing The Vampire Diaries. I read the books last year and enjoyed them so
much. I have been enjoying the FK episodes on Chiller.

I have Chiller on BrightHouse but the service has not been as reliable as
DirectTV. And the fact that BrightHouse keeps teasing me with FK on their
Chiller Channel schedule and not showing it as stated, says something about
them. So far DirectTV has had FK on when they say it will be on.
I would, like everyone else, really like to see the complete three seasons
of FK on any channel. I think we would get a lot of new fans on board if
we could just get it regularly scheduled.
