Without a whole heck of a lot of fanfare, Y!groups deleted all the
adult groups with the exception of the humor areas.
I just checked and the two such lists I'm on are both still up and active.
But if you go to the category, it lists all the names of the categories and
sub-categories but does not give you any lists. So you either have to go
to mygroups to see lists you're already subscribed to or you have to find
out about lists you aren't currently on via word of mouth.
Given that the two I'm on are not really "adult" lists (and definately not
porn) but rather lists for people with disablities discussing adult subject
matter, it's rather annoying to think that no one new is likely to find us.
I'm a bit confused though. These groups have been around (on one service
or another) since 1998 at least. And Yahoo took them over many months
ago. What exactly is the current fuss about? Did Yahoo do something new
that offended the delicate sensibilities of people who don't want any
"porn" on the internet? Or is it a matter of someone with influence just
finding out and reacting?
