Based on the yahoo post Groups is not going away, they are just disabling all the features except the ability to be a web only no email private group forum. Previously you could upload files to common areas, have polls, subscribe by email. The groups will still be there, but will be much less useful for many people. However the functionality will be similar to say here, people can create accounts and post messages.
Disabling links is unclear. Each Groups I think can have a list of links to things, but maybe they are saying they intend to filter all posts to remove any url references?
- zerocrates 7y agoIt seems like email is staying, too.
- droithomme 7y agoIt's weird because it says "Email Updates", "Message Digest" and "Message History" will go away. As I understand it, email updates is when you get the emails sent to you from the list, message digest sends several at once rather than one at a time, but what is message history? Is that the archives on the web site? So you can be invited, you can join, you can send emails, but no one can receive them and there's no archive of them apparently? That can't be it. Their description of what is happening is completely unclear.
- SyneRyder 7y agoIt looks like it won't have a web interface or archive. It's becoming email only with no web archive history: Will I be able to use Yahoo Groups going forward? You'll still be able to communicate with your groups via email and search for private groups on the site.
