Yahoo Groups Is Winding Down and All Content Will Be Permanently Removed

'Yahoo announced on Wednesday that it is winding down its long-running
Yahoo Groups site. From a report:

As of October 21, users will no longer be able to post new content to
the site, and on December 14 Yahoo will permanently delete all
previously posted content. "You'll have until that date to save
anything you've uploaded," an announcement post reads. Yahoo Groups,
launched in 2001, is a cross between a platform for mailing lists and
internet forums. Groups can be interacted with on the Yahoo Groups
site itself, or via email. In the 18 years that it existed, numerous
niche communities made a home on the platform. Now, with the site's
planned obsolescence, users are looking for ways to save their Groups
history.'
