Next Steps: The Evolution of Yahoo Groups (Final Notification)

Dear Group Moderators and Members, Last month we notified you of the changes coming to Yahoo Groups that better align with user habits, and today we are providing an update to guide you through the next steps of the transition. Yahoo Groups is not going away - but we are making adjustments to ultimately serve you better. We are amazed at the vibrant community you've created through Yahoo Groups and we want to make sure you feel supported as we introduce these changes. The following changes were made since our last communication:    •   Users can now only join a Yahoo Group through an invite or group request approval by the Group Moderator.    •   New Groups can't be public. They can only be private (not listed in Groups directory, membership by invitation only) or restricted (listed in Groups directory, membership requests must be approved by a Group Moderator).    •   Members must share all content via email, and can no longer upload or host new content on the Yahoo Groups website itself. The following changes will be made on December 14, 2019:    •   Public groups will no longer exist. All existing public Groups will become restricted Groups that require Group Moderator approval to join.    •   Any content that was previously uploaded via the website will be removed. If you would like to keep any of the content you've posted or stored within your Yahoo Group, please download it by December 14 by accessing the Groups Download Manager at this link. Once you provide your preferred email address, we will send you a confirmation of your download request and notify you once the download is complete. You will receive a link to a downloadable zip file via email for each of your Groups organized into a separate folder. Download time varies depending on the amount of information and file size. If your download request is made by 11:59pm PST on Saturday, December 14, 2019, your content will not be deleted until your download is complete. We are unable to accommodate any download requests made after this deadline. This is the final reminder to download your content. You can find additional information about the upcoming changes here. We have worked extensively with our customer support team to develop recommendations for tools that can help you with any download issues. See help article here. We have watched the evolution of Yahoo Groups with awe, as we grew to a community of millions with over 10 million Groups. Every day, we witness the power of community and shared passions, and our mission is to provide a platform for the strong connections people make with each other around their interests. We thank you for being part of the Yahoo Groups community and look forward to continuing to provide ways for you to connect with one another about your shared interests and passions. Sincerely, The Groups Team     Privacy Policy | Terms of Service | Customer Support 701 First Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94089 ©2019 Yahoo

[ITSALLABOUTMEMAN] Your article on free Amazon stuff

 

This is hilarious, after reading your article, most commenters want to join the scam, or offer a scam of their own. I never once clicked on a Facebook ad, and was perminently kicked off the platform. My daughter thinks that's why. I don't really know, and Facebook doesn't want anyone to know why. I would have liked to leave this comment on your article itself, but I would have to login via Facebook. The internet once was so promising, now it's a menace.

Evolution of Yahoo Groups

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

You're making a mistake by referring to your fans as…fans with CEO Tony van Veen   Hey, Matt. I have a pet peeve, and you're probably guilty of it. It's when an artist like you talks about "my fans." Frankly, I think this mistake is probably costing you money. I see you thinking, "If I can't call them fans, what should I call them?" Check out the above video, and all shall be revealed. So go ahead, change what you call them. It will change your mindset and your outlook and lead you to greater success. Keep on rockin'! Tony van Veen CEO, Disc Makers P.S.

[ITSALLABOUTMEMAN] Airbrushing an entire nation out of the historic record

 

Two of the leaders in the alleged free world correctly most loathed by their own people, try to grab a little personal glory by wrapping themselves in guns and flags. Neoliberal Propaganda Radio's "Here and Now" report it as if it was a beautiful, beautiful thing: https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2019/06/06/trump-macron-dday-ceremony

My question: Did Macron actually fail to acknowledge the people who paid the most, who suffered the most, who worked the most to stop the Nazis - The Soviet Union - or did your correspondent overlook the fact that he did? Either way, something rotten happened.

[ITSALLABOUTMEMAN] They don't let you talk back to them because they are cowards.

 

I saw a reference to a really awful article (https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/05/study-russia-cybersecurity-twitter-1353543) on Reddit (what a cesspool).

I followed the link to the original location of this article, Politico, I wrote up a nice comment. When I tried to post it said "sign in." I tried to sign in. it opens a link to facebook signin. that is the only way you can comment on Politico, if you are on facebook. That tells you all you need to know about Politico. Here is my post for your enjoyment.

Oh, I'm sooo scared. You take a "may" have done this and a "might" have done that (right in the 2nd paragraph for the reading comprehension and logical thinking impaired) and you try to blow it up into some big whoop. All you have to do is read the comments and its perfectly obvious the problem is not Russian interference, to whatever extent (if any) it really exists, it's idiot Americans, going right back to the idiot founding slavers that didn't trust their social inferiors enough to give them a meaningful vote. The two worst of our not very good presidents in the 21st century were chosen by the founding slavers' democracy-nullifying device, not us, yet nobody is talking about getting rid of the impediment to democracy, they are all chattering like monkeys about the Russians. What I want to know is how did Putin get the founding slavers to put the electoral college in place? What an evil genius! American politicians spend billions trying to influence people's thinking, and the Russian with a few hundred thousand are able to run circles around them! How debased people's thought processes have become that they buy into this stuff. How cowardly we have become that we are afraid of ideas and thoughts. #politicoispropaganda and #idiocracyisadocumentary
