No reason to hate Yahoo......... it is Verizon that is doing this since they bought Yahoo.      Verizon will continue to on it's path, and I personally  have zero confidence in YahooGroups under VZ.    They  will likely try to monetize it in various ways that will be annoying and detrimental.

    I think we should join the rats fleeing the sinking ship.........   Most are going to Groups.IO, which now is charging annual fees in the hundreds............ I suspect a garage operation overwhelmed by the flood.    Seeing Verizon as the death knell for YahooGroups some time back, they created the new list server, and set it up to seamlessly import everything......... Early adopters got in with no fees, but with the flood, the  necessity to raise money for increased server space & power resulted in these fees.   They are still far short of the horsepower  needed IMHO... generating too many bounces..... but that will change with time.

   

    The other option worth thinking about is Google Groups.   Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have much more than Yahoo is offering.............   They do however offer Google users photo albums, which can be shared with multiple people....... as a separate service.    These could be integrated simply by linking in the footer.    It's not integrated and seamless like YahooGroups was....... but Google is about as stable as any internet company out there.  It is worth looking into.
