Yahoo Closing Its Groups website

 Yahoo! constantly denied that they were deleting groups or content. Then they deleted Yahoo Groups content and 20 years of work on the British Comic Books Archive group -thousands of images and hundreds of files gone.

But it was okay -groups were still there for people to continue discussing and talking about their favourite topics.

As I predicted back then Yahoo! are lying sacks of shit.  Proof?

Dear Yahoo Group Moderators and Members, We launched Yahoo Groups 20 years ago to connect people around their shared interests. We helped our users navigate new towns, keep in touch with college friends, learn new skills, and most importantly, build connections they may have lost or never had in the first place. While we could not have been more proud of what we accomplished together, we are reaching out today with heavy hearts to let you know that we have decided to shut down Yahoo Groups on December 15, 2020. Yahoo Groups has seen a steady decline in usage over the last several years. Over that same period we’ve witnessed unprecedented levels of engagement across our properties as customers seek out premium, trustworthy content. To that end, we must sometimes make difficult decisions regarding products that no longer fit our long-term strategy as we hone our focus on other areas of the business. Beginning December 15, 2020 the Yahoo Groups website will shut down and members will no longer be able to send or receive emails from Yahoo Groups. We’ve compiled a comprehensive FAQ here that includes alternative providers and information on how this will impact your group content. Thank you for helping us build one of the earliest digital communities — we’re proud and honored to have forged countless connections over the last 20 years and played a small part in helping build your communities. Sincerely, The Yahoo Groups team   Now Deviant Art has deleted many years of artwork stored there and told us to **** off. Think Blogger is safe? Laws outside the US are stopping our data being spied on and used for the financial gain of these companies -like You Tube and we know what happened there. If these people cannot make money out of you then they shut things down. These companies built their empires thanks to everyone who jumped into the "great new free adventure of the internet".  Now, if you ain't worth a $ to them -fuck you.
