Hi all, Archive Team is still working on backing up as much of Yahoo Groups as they're able to, as discussed in this previous post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21737696 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21737696

Tooling to do this from the CLI: https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/yahoo-group-archiver https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/yahoo-group-archiver
If you want to help the effort, run yahoogroups-joiner to help the Archive Team join as many public groups as possible: https://github.com/davidferguson/yahoogroups-joiner https://github.com/davidferguson/yahoogroups-joiner
Run the Archive Team Warrior if you have available compute/storage: https://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=ArchiveTeam_Warrior https://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=ArchiveTeam_Warrior
(Disclaimer: I don't work directly with Archive Team, but I work for the Internet Archive, which is where most of this data will end up living hopefully forever. We're also in the midst of our annual fund drive -- https://archive.org/donate/ https://archive.org/donate/ if you're able and interested in helping out monetarily.)
