Re: [oberheim] Starting December 14, 2019 Yahoo Groups will no longer host user created content on its sites.

2019-10-29 by Florian Anwander

Hello,

I could create an html-based archive of the messages of this 
yahoo-group, if the group owner can make the messages visible to 
non-subscribers (including the login procedure to my scripting would be 
much too much effort).
Examples can be seen at http://www.florian-anwander.de/yahoo/

Such an archive could be also hosted at the files-section of groups.io 
assumingly.

I can recommend the move over to groups.io.
I am moderator of several groups here and moved them over there. And I 
use it also for some private maillists. No advertisements, no appearent 
datagrabbing, very good administration, and appearently they look after 
whether groups are misused by spammers (or for spamming).

Florian

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
