Since the old group is shut down, I don't know if you folks got this
email. (I received it from another group still in transition.)
Apparently, Yahoo has sent this note to every member of every list.
First of all, it's late: the first portion of the change already
happened. Secondly, the spin doctor on this one must be getting dizzy
by now! They're not taking Yahoo Groups away -- they're making it
better, um ... by removing some of the most useful features of the lists
(file storage, email archives). :-\

Here is the text from the email:
"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

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"
