Entry 1st February 2020: Post 05: Yahoo Group - Membership is closed.
Yahoo Group - Membership is closed.
Hi
I closed membership on this group some years back and haven't accepted
any new members since then.
When Yahoo recently made their changes to the groups they made the
archives available to download. I can confirm that I have done this. I
already had all the posts on file anyway.
Lately I have been receiving requests from folk wanting to join the
group for the purpose of downloading the archive. This is not going to
happen.
So if anyone reading the group posts is thinking of joining the group
and or wanting the group archive then sorry the group is now formally
closed and I will not be accepting any further membership requests. I
have tried to tinker with the group settings but it appears to have
little functionality now, particularly since I made the group private
some years back. There have been numerous times when trying to use the
Yahoo Groups interface that it has been busted and or corrupt in some
way. Over time they did try to remedy things, but I sense they have long
given up with maintaining the Groups. Maybe wrong, and it maybe just
something I was doing wrong, so really can't be sure either way. Yahoo
were entangled in a hacking scare some while back and that may have made
them rethink the interface... who knows.
AnyYahoo... the Group remains a mailing list for those that are
currently members and wish to communicate. However in terms of the
future it really is a dead horse and the archive like the group is private.
Just saying.
How you dooooooin ?
