Yahoo Groups closing down
Quote:
No big regrets, as far as I'm concerned. |
I didn't even know those still existed :eek: Was anyone still using that?
In a way though, it is a pity is is disappearing. I've known Yahoo Groups back since the days MSN Groups/Communities were still big, Myspace was huge and Facebook still virtually unknown… To see Yahoo Groups disappear is like a last survivor of that era ceasing to exist. The nostalgia element makes me regret this, although I haven't used or visited a Yahoo Group in ages. |
It does not disappear completely.

At one time I was a member of several Yahoo Groups. Just counted the folders in my email client, 16 of them. Most quit being active ages ago, only one of them is still active. Last email from that group was yesterday. Been getting the notices that it's shutting down. It a huge discussion topic right now regarding alternatives.
|
Groups.io is an alternative. Quite a few Yahoo groups moved lock, stock and barrel there.
|
what is yahoo groups? some years later we may ask: what is yahoo mail?

If someone in the group saved all their emails, can can export them to EML format and distribute in a ZIP for free. If you email client doesn't support import/export of EMLs, use MailStore Home. |
The end is on Dec. 15.

I thought they closed that down a couple of years ago? I'm surprised to see this thread honestly. I guess they take awhile to do these things.
|
Its sad in a way they are closing it just because the usage is down.......
Some people still do use it!! |

I guess the likes of Facebook have overpowered competitors with a similar offer. In a way, the likes of Yahoo Groups (and MSN Communities) were early communities around certain subjects of interest, pretty much working the same as Facebook Groups do now.
I remember MySpace had similar discussion groups, although there the personal profiles were more detailed so not entirely comparable to Yahoo Groups or MSN Communities. I guess people turn to Facebook now for this type of interaction, or maybe discussion forums (I don't see those die soon, although they're much less common than a 10 years ago) |
