While Yahoo Groups hasn’t been a viable forum destination for years, it was at one time a popular place for people to meet and converse online. Yahoo parent company Verizon Media is finally going to completely shut Groups down later this year — as of October 28th, no new content can be uploaded, and as of December 14th, all existing content will be wiped. If you were once a part of the discussions there, you may want to see if you can save your conversational history.
The process is a little more convoluted than it needs to be, unfortunately, perhaps because Yahoo was absorbed by Verizon some time ago. But it’s still possible to do it, if you know where to look.
