Yahoo Groups Is Shutting Down
Oct. 17th, 2019 07:59 amYahoo Groups is shutting down, and all content will be deleted. Based on my Yahoo e-mail address, I signed up in 2003, just so that I could (briefly; I was more of a lurker that wanted the digests) participate in a Julia/Barnabas Dark Shadows group.

By October 21st, new content cannot be posted. If there’s anything you want to save from however long ago that had been uploaded, you have until December 14th. After that date, it seems that “the Yahoo Groups site will continue to exist, however, all public groups will be made private or restricted. Admins will still be able to manage various group settings, though some functionality will be limited.”
