End of an Era: Yahoo will delete all Yahoo Groups content on December 14th

Alisdair MacRae Birch All Messages By This Member #130850 Folks It's the end of an era.... Yahoo's former CEO Marissa Mayer effectively destroyed Yahoo groups back in 2013, 'WTF! MORONS!' Yahoo! Groups! redesign! traumatises! users! ? The Register continued her destruction of Yahoo successfully driving it into the ground to the point where she could leave in 2017 the shell of the company to be acquired by Altaba/Verizon, who unable to save the wreck on October 2, 2019 ceased trading on the Nasdaq at the close of the day. So it comes of no surprise that Yahoo who previously bought and destroyed GeoCities, Yahoo! Pulls Plug on GeoCities, Erases Internet History - TIME have made the decision to no longer allow users to upload content to the Yahoo Groups site. Beginning October 21, you won't be able to upload any more content to the site, and as of December 14 all previously posted content on the site will be permanently removed. You'll have until that date to save anything you've uploaded. More information about that decision: As archivist Jason Scott told Time: “These guys found the way to destroy the most massive amount of history in the shortest amount of time with absolutely no recourse”. I am hoping that we will be able to archive the group before then, even if only for historical purposes. -A ? -- Alisdair MacRae Birch Guitarist/Bassist/Educator/Arranger

Alisdair MacRae Birch All Messages By This Member #130852 These days I have very little time to participate in the group, but I'd hate to see the archive of messages from the past just wiped out and not available for anyone who was interested to browse through....If there is enthusiasm to move the group, we could move the group to a site like group.io, the downside is that it costs. Group.io is $110/year. Yahoo groups was free to set-up and join as it was a way for Yahoo to drive people to their sites and and they also provided 2GB of file storage. Perhaps we could set-up a crowd sourcing page and if everyone here contributed a tiny amount we could cover the cost of moving it over and setting it up?
Charles Alexander All Messages By This Member #130853 开云体育 Hi Alasdair, How to detroy a unique resource and walk away with millions of dollars! Ask Marissa Mayer. Let's hope that the Jazz Guitar information can be safely downloaded. In the meantime, thanks for your excellent curating of the Group in its heyday. I hope that you are still an active teacher and player. All the best, Charles Sent from Samsung Mobile toggle quoted message Show quoted text -------- Original message -------- From: "akmbirch@...

jhipps2001 All Messages By This Member #130857 groups.io also has a free plan? with 1 GB of storage.? The following are counted towards the storage limits for your group: Files Photos Images in databases Images in wiki pages Message attachments Messages themselves are not counted towards the storage limits, only any attachments. How much space does the yahoo group files section use currently? /static/pricing Joel
William Nicholson All Messages By This Member #130858 Could it be possible to move the group to Google Groups instead (which I imagine would be free) and also archive the old content there?? (The other non-moderated jazz guitar group with Lord Valve et al is already on Google Groups, of course), William ---In jazz_guitar@..., <akmbirch@...> wrote : These days I have very little time to participate in the group, but I'd hate to see the archive of messages from the past just wiped out and not available for anyone who was interested to browse through....If there is enthusiasm to move the group, we could move the group to a site like group.io, the downside is that it costs.
