I don&#x27;t understand why Yahoo or whoever is orchestrating this shutdown is so hostile to the archival process. People are offering their own time and storage space, how hard would it be for whoever is working on the shutdown to just allow people to easily download all the raw data, instead of having them manually scrapping. Wouldn&#x27;t the latter be much worse for both parties?<p>This is data going back decades, there has to be someone in power somewhere on that team that realizes the value of this data? We&#x27;re not asking them to keep it up, just to make it easy to archive.

Also happening with RootsWeb Mailing Lists!<p>Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state. Administrators may save the email addresses in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb. As an alternative to RootsWeb Mailing Lists, Ancestry message boards are a great option to network with others in the genealogy community. Message boards are available for free with an Ancestry registered account. Thank you for being part of the RootsWeb family and contributing to this community.<p>Sincerely, The RootsWeb team<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;home.rootsweb.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;home.rootsweb.com&#x2F;</a>

There&#x27;s also the issue that archives may seemingly be up, but not at all complete.<p>For example, many of the mid-90s posts about Jim Bell&#x27;s &quot;Assassination Politics&quot; proposal are missing from public archives of the cypherpunks list. The explanation there seems to be proactive evidence destruction that occurred as news about the ongoing federal investigation spread.<p>Also, it seems like some old Usenet stuff has disappeared from Google Groups. There&#x27;s stuff that I archived years ago that&#x27;s no longer findable.<p>Anyone else noticed that?

Looks like a lot of hard work has gone into this.<p>I found myself wondering, more versus future efforts, about the writing already being on the wall for Yahoo Groups years ago (e.g. the multi-day outage in 2017, IIRC). Why wait until the official shutdown notification before getting a scrape of the public groups? As someone who had a modicum of presence still on the site, it had grown increasingly prone to random errors, and I even wondered whether one day it would go down and refuse to come back up no matter how much effort Yahoo put forth attempting to revive it. That could&#x27;ve easily been an even worse &quot;Yahoo-geddon.&quot;<p>(Not that I expect the effort Yahoo would put forth would amount to much, since in the now-defunct Yahoo help forums a Yahoo team member revealed Groups had been &quot;deprioritized&quot; a few years back, i.e. no official support, no help for groups with deceased mods, etc.)

Contrary to the title, the post doesn&#x27;t contain anything specific about the progress of archiving. Like how much of the content is saved and how much isn&#x27;t.

It’s great to see the community coming together to save the content. I’m glad that they were able to save a considerable amount of the data.

That chart was interesting. Interesting how the growth of yahoo groups memberships really dropped off right around 2014.
