Yahoo Groups! Nooooooooooooo!

Why? BAWL! The internet is now officially dead…
Um. Those of you who relied on Yahoo Groups for, uh…similar reasons…know what I’m talking about. Right? I know I’m not the only one.

:frowning:

Huh?

I wouldn’t mind some explanation.

And seriously, you really had to make such a vague OP. knowing people would ask? Would it have killed you to explain WTF you’re talking about right up front?

No, I don’t know what you’re talking about.

What, now you have to be a member of the porn group to look at their pictures? What?

I’m afraid I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about.

I just read the changes to the Yahoo service, and it said attachments have been purged. So I assume the OP was talking about porn or something.

Well, then, I guess I am the only one. Nevermind then.

:attempts to lock thread but key doesn’t fit:

Ah well.

What? pizzabrat being vague??? No WAY!!! lol.

But seriously pizzabrat, I am the “owner” (equivalent of an administrator here??) of such a group, we haven’t gotten any special notices in our “owners” messages.

Please elaborate?

Groups.yahoo.com service changes, implemented today. I’ve never used Yahoo Groups and am not even sure exactly what it is. From that link:

WAG: the attachments were pictures of naked people posted for all to wank to.

Am I right, pizzabrat?

Pretty much, yeah.

It’s porn, isn’t it?

Thanks a lot, neutron, now I just look like a fool.

walks away in shame

Apropos of nary a damned thing . . . appletreats, nice sig. I’ll be fucked if I remember saying it, though. Was I being an asshole?

Now where will I get my 1920’s style death rays?

Gosh, if only there were another source- any source at all- for porn on the 'net! This is a dark day indeed.

I think 1920s style death rays has become the new “felch” and “mung”.

So this is about some sort of 1920’s style porn ray then?

After Usenet, Yahoo groups and MSN communities are the biggest repositories of porn on the net. I doubt they like to think of themselves that way, but it’s bringing in the advert dollar.

I know this because of the research paper I wrote on assignment ::ahem::

Huh? Am I being whooshed here? You can get porn on the net?

Pornography?!? On the Internet?!

Next you’ll be telling me there are typographical errors, or even lies on the web, as well.

And those sort of 1920’s death rays are probably the reason that all our base are belong to them.
