Actually folks, it looks like those pages will be going away soon.
Urbanite, the company that provides the service, has decided to radically change their business model, in light of the changing internet economy. This change has made it impossible for WebFlyer to keep offering this service, even if we were to start charging for it (and we don't want to do that).

I was actually establishing a list of our homepage members in order to blast out a notice of this today when I came across this post. I'll still send that notice out today or early tomorrow, but consider this an advance warning.

Free services seem to be dropping like flies, and I apologize for this sudden notice, but we were informed late in the game.

We have been informed that our homepages will be turned off May 19th. The fact that their servers seem to be suddenly crawling makes me a little nervous that things are already going on behind the scenes.

I would advise looking for a new free home or at least archiving your pages on your computers in case the performance continues to degrade or outright fail.
