Hey! Who remembers Yahoo Groups? Uh... c'mon, *somebody* must remember Yahoo Groups... Here's something vicious you can do with one if you ever get stuck running it.

Ha ha ha ha ha, just read your "adventure".... Man, wonder who they took to create the logical tree about group moderating, but I highly doubt the guy had a diploma for that, they certainly took a cheap self-proclamed project director!!!
It is even a serious responsability/security threat, imagine anybody would upload illegal files... Who will be pursued then??!!!!!!!
Yahoo groups was a good time, but it was about time something better came out. Not to mention they chased everybody themselves by axing every group that got even one file about sex, even if the group was tagged adult. You could see your group erased the following hours without even knowing what happened, without having any mean to complain, without having any answer from the satff.

I was building a Yahoo group of my own once. It was somebody else's idea and they opened the account. Unfortunately, I think it might have been that same Horsemage. I couldn't get control of "my site" and when I brought it to Yahoo's attention they simply deleted the whole thing, wiping out dozens of hours of work I'd done to upload files and organize them. What did the care? They had a minor problem to correct for their convenience and I was a piece of gum stuck to their shoe with no rights. They just scraped me off.
I haven't bothered looking at it, though I'm a member still. I belong to around a half dozen groups, and another small number that are just archives. The only one I think I've looked at in a year is Sawyer Unleashed (to post a file), and Furry WAM (mere curiosity -- there was nothing new of any interest).
I beleive I've gotten update notices from at least Furry WAM, though when I checked there was nothing of interest to me. I guess it was inactive for the longest time, but somebody has recently discovered it.
One problem I had with almost all groups I joined was that after a short while there was nothing uploaded that was remotely worth looking at or reading.
