Subject: Lost Rogers websites

As a Rogers customer myself, I can fill in a little background.  For
reasons best known to themselves, Rogers signed a deal with Yahoo last
summer.  As a result, all customers who had Rogers websites had to
relocate them to Rogers-Yahoo, with new names.  This didn't affect me
since my own website didn't go up until after the deal was signed.
But, obviously, it affected all the older Rogers customers who had
sites.
    They gave people a grace period; but I guess it was up as of last
week.  Hence the disappearance of the website in question -- and
others.
    For example, anyone who has the "FK Canon and Trivia" site
bookmarked will no longer find it at its original url, but at:
http://ca.geocities.com/cd397@rogers.com/.  I only know this because I
just tested the old url, found I couldn't access it, but managed to
relocate it by "rewriting" it as a Rogers-Yahoo url using the same
format my own website's url is in.

Trouble is:  I just tried doing the same thing for the "gwdnetwork"
site -- and it doesn't work.  That could mean the site is down
permanently.  But it could mean simply that the name has been
rewritten in some other fashion.  Or it could mean that the owner
doesn't know what's happened.
    Does anyone know whose site it was?  If they haven't updated in a
while, it's quite possible that they simply don't realize the grace
period is up and that Rogers has taken the site down.
