Dear Yahoo Group Moderators and Members,
We launched Yahoo Groups 20 years ago to connect people around their shared interests. We helped our users navigate new towns, keep in touch with college friends, learn new skills, and most importantly, build connections they may have lost or never had in the first place. While we could not have been more proud of what we accomplished together, we are reaching out today with heavy hearts to let you know that we have decided to shut down Yahoo Groups on December 15, 2020.
Yahoo Groups has seen a steady decline in usage over the last several years. Over that same period we’ve witnessed unprecedented levels of engagement across our properties as customers seek out premium, trustworthy content. To that end, we must sometimes make difficult decisions regarding products that no longer fit our long-term strategy as we hone our focus on other areas of the business.
Beginning December 15, 2020 the Yahoo Groups website will shut down and members will no longer be able to send or receive emails from Yahoo Groups. We’ve compiled a comprehensive FAQ here [[http://service.comms.yahoo.net/T/v6000001751e2916b0c76ed3f4bbc786c8/d2e16efb5a124d450000021ef3a0bcc2/d2e16efb-5a12-4d45-8dfc-8676ead343bc?__dU__=v0G4RBKTXg2GvzBXXO0iqzhQD4bfSO AnZx&__F__=v0fUYvjHMDjRPMSh3tviDHXIoXcPxvDgUUCCPvXMWoX_ 30tcPSLyBQEa0klOzPQdng8h8pYsOOPIzmqWqmXkeue085LzLW nMk6kkC52e9iwsxIGtiUcq9H2Pf_cJuW0ZEZ-LSK273AaTJYAP1b4rxkVenL5Sh7uQuL2p0m5IcqmWuesmQvWZM w_dNpMGN9YBCMmuRvSI5TvTl4NdoArMWe066RhFMoyNNvaQsib tvY5lL9Hv-m3suiHc-wnTneEvNzgKoCVNSg5XdTvhWdYGgRWk2Rnr9XTqCKXkNEI-dnXZksuHaajpx5-pRC5sLQvv_KMxJP7LF1_AwELrPsuSEHFWEc0IAJEvBRZwGylp8 LQzr6NKVSIkRmTngTFPteb5_t)

Thank you for helping us build one of the earliest digital communities — we’re proud and honored to have forged countless connections over the last 20 years and played a small part in helping build your communities.

The Yahoo Groups team
