Stonewall15 Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) What happened to the Yahoo Group? After Organissimo, Jazz West Coast was my favorite. Can this blog be resurrected somehow, perhaps as an Organissimo topic? Edited December 19, 2019 by Stonewall15 Correction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Garrett Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Do you mean the Yahoo Group? https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/JazzWestCoast/info Yahoo just shut down the web hosting aspect of Yahoo Groups several days ago - they are no longer hosting any Groups' content on the web, but the Groups' email functionality is still active. So if you were a member of a Group and had elected to receive all messages via email, you likely haven't noticed much difference. If, OTOH, you accessed messages via a Group's web portal, then you're probably wondering where everyone went, as all of the Group messages are no longer accessible via the web portal. Yahoo sent out several notices in advance of this happening, and provided functionality to obtain a download of the message archives for each Group (without any images that had been attached or otherwise included in messages) prior to the shutdown deadline. A lot of Groups were not happy with the changes and opted to move to other, similar portals like Groups.io, who provided what seemed to be a relatively painless method to migrate a Yahoo Group's archived content over to their site for a one-time $100 fee.

JSngry Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Yeah, apparently at one point I belonged to a Yahoo group? Because I was getting those "alert" email for about a month now. No idea why, but yeah, they're gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
