Re: "despite a huge outcry"

Did you ever bother to look at the numbers of members on various sites? Those who use Yahoo know that there are millions of users. We're fighting back http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/modsandmembers/

IT Angle

It seems to me that Yahoo is being a bully. Rather then do what a reputable company should do they are hurting the very people that pay them (ie we buy products from the ads on yahoo and the ads are what funds them). They are destroying veteran sites, sites for the disabled, sites for artists, sites for children, the list is long. And there is a simple fix. Replace the new crap with the old and work on the new crap where it can't hurt the users. Otherwise Yahoo will simply become one of those companies that used to be great but is now an example of what NOT to do.

Re: It's not about the users

Like many educated idiots they fail to understand they are not the only game in town. I moved my yahoo mail to Gmail. I'm moving my yahoo group to Delphi Forums. And I'm writing each advertiser telling them that I won't be buying ANY of their products because of Yahoo. They may find that they screwed up here and the leader is not the genus she thinks she is.

Re: "Modern", "streamlined", what?

They may have screwed up here as many are writing each advertiser and telling them they will not be buying from them because they advertised on Yahoo! Many of the users of yahoo groups are veterans in the protest movement and understand how to put it to the "man".

Many yahoo users are moving their sites to Delphi Forums. Others are simply giving up. I'm wondering if they're doing this so that they can say that the users are the ones who destroyed yahoo groups so that they can close them down and create something else that will make them money.
