I don't think it's just the files area. I think the
user interface is disappearing, so only email
subscriptions will work. There's also this:

The Yahoo Groups site will continue to exist, however, all public groups will be made private or restricted. Any new group members will need to request an invite or be invited by an admin. Admins will still be able to manage various group settings, though some functionality will be limited.


I think what we really should be doing is
converting to a newsgroup and exchanging
mail with each other on our personal
mainframes, although that probably raises
a barrier to new participants.

Otherwise groups.io seems to be the
consensus. And maybe feed groups.io
into a newsgroup/mainframe network.
