End of an Era

Tips: 1.00 INK Postby Zodia195 on Tue Oct 22, 2019 9:05 pm

Looks like Yahoo! Groups will be closing down. I saw someone post this in an old Yahoo! Group I use to be active in-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Woke up to this message:

Attention: Starting December 14, 2019 Yahoo Groups will no longer host user created content on its sites. New content can no longer be uploaded after October 28, 2019. Sending/Receiving email functionality is not going away, you can continue to communicate via any email client with your group members. Learn More:

https://help.yahoo.com/kb/groups/SLN310 ... sions=true

Most Y! Groups functionality will disappear on Dec. 14.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If every group I've been in will disappear, this will be a major blow because I still go back to those groups just to even read old stories and plotlines since that's where I started my roleplay experience. Yahoo! Groups is definitely an old shell of it's former self and I can see why Yahoo! wants to close it down if it does, but it still hurts. I wish there was a way to save all the texts here, but that be a huge undertaking for myself. I'll try to do more research on this.

Bummer to see yet another network fall to the dispassionate nature of its creators. Many of my childhood friends (and associated memories) are now lost to the whims of the nostalgic mind, only ever to be reconnected when someone stumbles upon us here...

If I have anything to do with it, RPG will outlast even the most successful for-profit companies, preserving the digital history of our fictional creations for as long as there's someone still playing!

Take a moment and consider joining my Patreon group, where I share personal development updates and plans for the future...
