Hopefully of use to anyone planning a move to pastures new... Begin forwarded message: From: Yahoo <info(a)comms.yahoo.net> Subject: Evolution of Yahoo Groups Date: 2 November 2019 at 14:30:00 GMT | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dear Group Moderators and Members, Thank you for your commitment to Yahoo and for helping us define the power of digital communities. Eighteen years ago, we combined the functionality of a site called eGroups.com with a precursor community platform called Yahoo Clubs to launch Yahoo Groups. Since then, you and millions of others have helped prove our hypothesis, by creating and joining more than 10 Million groups. A lot has changed about the Internet since 2001, including the ways most people now use Yahoo Groups. Today, most Yahoo Groups activity happens in your email inbox, not on the bulletin boards where Yahoo Groups started in the pre-smartphone age. Increasingly, people want content and connections coming directly to them, and this is why we continue to invest in Yahoo Mail -- including the recent launch of a new Yahoo Mail app that is currently the highest-rated email app in the App Store and Google Play. So, as our users’ habits have evolved, we have begun the process of evolving our approach to help active Yahoo Groups thrive and migrate to our email platform. To help you plan for these changes, below is the schedule of how this transition will happen. Beginning October 28, 2019: - Users will be able to join a Yahoo Group only through an invite from the Group Moderator or by submitting a request to join a Group, which requires approval by the Group Moderator. - Since we are moving Group communication from posting on message boards to email distribution, uploading and hosting of new content will also be disabled on the Yahoo Groups website. Beginning December 14, 2019: - All Groups will be made private and any content that was previously uploaded via the website will be removed. We believe privacy is critical and made this decision to better align with our overall principles. - If you would like to keep any of the content you’ve posted or stored in the past within your Yahoo Group, please download it by December 14 by accessing this link. As these dates get closer, we will send follow-up reminders. More information about the upcoming changes can be found here. While this evolution of Yahoo Groups is inspired by how we see the platform being used today, we know change can be difficult. Here are a few important facts as we make this transition: 1. Yahoo Groups is not going away - We know that our users are deeply passionate about connecting around shared interests, and we are evolving Groups to better align with how you use it today. 2. New groups can still be formed - Users can continue to connect with others around their common bonds and interests. From animal rescues to sporting and activity groups, civic organizations to local PTAs, members of our Yahoo Groups will remain connected and able to share their activities and interests. All of the content that you have shared previously on the website, can continue to be shared via email. We know that Yahoo Groups is an important online extension of your real-life group of friends, interests and communities, and we are committed to supporting communities that rely on Yahoo Groups. Thanks for coming along with us this far. We look forward to seeing where the technology -- and you -- take us in the decades to come. Sincerely, The Groups Team | | | | | | | | | Privacy Policy | Terms of Service | Customer Support | | ©2019 Yahoo 701 First Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94089 | | | | #yiv0072471094 #yiv0072471094 --

Re: Yahoo Says You Can't Add New Topics after 28th October 2019.

by Chris J Brady

Many Yahoo Groups have transferred to IO Groups. This has been with all content messages, imges and files etc. The IO folk do the work. However IO have just raised thier fees!!. But the big group that I do know was successfull was the very active OTRR (Old Time Radio Researchers) group. Meanwhile I will point out again that the mst valuable part of a Yahoo Group is the membership, that is the email addresses of members. They should be downoade and saved. BTW there is also advice from Yahoo that in order to retain the email functionality of a Yahoo Group every member needs to log in and change the profile settings to receive emails - not special messages etc., but emails from other members. After Dec 14. all content will be removed, files, database, images, archive of previous messages, etc. CJB.

You can find it here: https://list.peelwiki.com/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/peel-group@list.peelwiki… I've imported about half of the archive, but I can add the rest as well. As a replacement for the mailing list I think it would be best to create a Peel group at groups.io, without transferring any content or members. This would probably be more reliable and faster than using the mailman list that I set up. I've also uploaded the Yahoo archives in "mbox" format that I downloaded from Yahoo, it's on the Mooo server in the Misc folder.

Ann Appleing

by Colin Hume

I'm sorry to announce that Ann Appleing died on the morning of 17th October. For as long as I can remember, Derek and Ann have been a Folk Sales point. Their caravan was a familiar sight at many Folk Festivals and dance weekends in England, and they had an enormous supply of books, CDs and other items related to folk dancing and music. If you want any more information, please contact Derek Appleing: Derek-Ann(a)Folksales.co.uk Colin Hume

The Times They are A'Changin'

by Ridge Kennedy

Dear All, I'll send something longer and more informative in a while, but this is a heads up. We are planning to make a change with the trad-dance-caller list. It will move away from yahoogroups and over to the "SharedWeight" platform. The general operation of the list will be pretty much the same. All that will be missing will be ads and fussing with a Yahoo ID. the list content will continue in the direction it has followed in recent years. We'll be dealing dances in formations other than contra -- squares in particular, as we have a fair number of folks with strong square dance backgrounds on the list. And we'll be a resource for dance parties -- one night stands, wedding dances, community dances -- and all that sort of thing. When the transition comes -- after it -- I intend to make a little effort at stimulating communication on those topics. I have a few old things that I want to complete -- eg. a checklist for dance party communication. And I'm interested in building and sharing repertoire in the everything but contra world -- especially the things that work for dance parties. I am also interested in locating a few brave individuals who might be interest in becoming moderators and regular contributors to this list. If you think you'd like to be involved in helping in the revitalization effort, contact me off list at mailto:ridgek@gmail.com . Thanks, as ever, for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Ridge -- Ridge Kennedy [Exit 145] www.ridgekennedy.com When you stumble, make it part of the dance.
