Amazing. Trust in Yahoo, not.

There have been previous notifications that Yahoo Groups was going away that never materialized. What is the source of your information?

Mike,? look at the top of any yahoo groups page. It says it there:

*Attention:* Starting December 14, 2019 Yahoo Groups will no longer host user created content on its sites. New content can no longer be uploaded after October 28, 2019. Learn More <>

In short,? any files and photos on any yahoo group will go away as of December 14 so if there is any content you want or need from any of your yahoo groups you had better get it now.? It also sounds like email history will go away in December but was not sure about that one.

And this was posted to a owners/moderators groups.io group for which I am a member concerning the yahoo announcement:


Understand what's changing in Yahoo Groups

Yahoo has 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.


What features will go away?
<>

* Files
* Polls
* Links
* Photos
* Folders
* Calendar
* Database
* Attachments
* Conversations
* Email Updates
* Message Digest
* Message History


What will happen to the site?
<>

The Yahoo Groups site will continue to exist, however, all public groups will be made private or restricted. Any new group members will need to request an invite or be invited by an admin. Admins will still be able to manage various group settings, though some functionality will be limited.


What will happen on October 21st?
<>

On October 21st, you will no longer be able to upload any content to the site. To share info with members of your groups, you'll continue to be able to do so via email.


How can I keep my Yahoo Groups content?
<>

Photos and files can be saved <>?right from the Yahoo Groups site, or you can download your data from the Privacy Dashboard <>.



Will I be able to use Yahoo Groups going forward?
<>

You'll still be able to communicate with your groups via email and search for private groups on the site. In addition, admins will continue to have limited access to group settings and administration tools.

So basically, the functionality is being crippled.

I suspect they are hoping users will depart en-masse so they can kill it completely.

The entire message history is going away. All that will remain is
forwarding of current messages. Plus all the files are going away. There
won't be enough left to be useful.

It's not really a surprise. Yahoo aka Oath aka Verizon has been neglecting
Groups for years.
