Yahoo is removing functionality from its Groups site.

Yahoo <https://www.cnet.com/tags/yahoo/>Groups is slowlywinding down
functionality
<https://help.yahoo.com/kb/groups/SLN31010.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudmljZS5jb20vZW5fdXMvYXJ0aWNsZS84eHdlOXAveWFob28tZ3JvdXBzLWlzLXdpbmRpbmctZG93bi1hbmQtYWxsLWNvbnRlbnQtd2lsbC1iZS1wZXJtYW5lbnRseS1yZW1vdmVk&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAALPn_RCL2FOTBdkbnEevbL75y_oEaiwP7jaLjyIhTzTeJaALb3xNVQArpPrGtnaadADvELtYwkduKjhTH8KAjV4bwQWi8RH9r9QJUtXlG5qCPgutBRjP-HAFxDTo6B020iloo9xNlk2DgctxHN0E6VQzy1umaZ5c09EgvZFqGTVk>,
the company said Wednesday. Users will no longer be able to upload
content to the site starting Oct. 21. On Dec. 14, all content will be
permanently removed. Anyone still using the platform has until then to
save anything they've uploaded before it disappears.
Yahoo Groups, a combination of a mailing list and an internet forum,
launched in 2001. The site will still exist after content is removed,
but all public groups will become private or restricted, Yahoo says. New
group members will have to be invited by an admin or request an invite.
Admins will still be able to manage different group settings, but some
functions will be limited.
After Oct. 21, users will only be able to share information with members
of their groups via email. They'll still be able to search for private
groups on the site.
Anyone looking to save photos and files can do so directly from the
Yahoo Groups site. Users can also download data from thePrivacy
Dashboard
<https://help.yahoo.com/kb/groups/download-data-privacy-dashboard-sln28671.html>.
Yahoo Groups joins a list of other services the company has shut down in
recent years, including itsMaps site
<https://www.cnet.com/news/yahoo-to-shut-down-its-maps-site/>in 2015,
Yahoo Messenger
<https://www.cnet.com/news/yahoo-messenger-will-shut-down-next-month-bye-felicia/> in
2018 and web-hosting site GeoCities
<https://www.cnet.com/news/geocities-dies-in-march-2019-and-with-it-a-piece-of-internet-history/>in
2019 (though it shut down earlier in 2009 in the US
