Mike thinks he will still be able to save our group, despite these comments I found. Hard telling what yahoo will do or when, they just don't care.
Quotes I found:
Yahoo Groups archivists despair as Verizon blocks their preservation efforts ahead of shutdown
Some rumors persist that among the current investors of nextdoor.com 3 are “retired” figures from 3-letter government organizations, suggesting that nextdoor.com 3 is one of those “civilian” companies which does the kind of citizen data-collection which governments are not permitted to do themselves. (For those not familiar with this phenomenon, “retired” government agents launch these “consultant” companies and use their carreer contacts to market and sell dossier “products”, and are therefore government-funded loopholes around laws protecting privacy and democracy).
I have great sympathy for the people and communities affected by this, but I think it’s timely to remind everyone of the rules:
1. Don’t run anything essential on a free service.
2. Don’t run anything without a plan to migrate it elsewhere at a moment’s notice.
3. Don’t run anything on Yahoo!
To that I, Chuck, would add:
Always know what's really goin' on. It's probably not what you think.
