Yahoo Communication:
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

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

Hi!
Recently I learned that Yahoo! will close Groups.
We will lose all the content?
Will we move to another platform? Where?
