According to this article: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/10/yahoo-is-deleting-all-content-ever-posted-to-yahoo-groups/

Yahoo! is deleting all content from Yahoo! groups. I post this here because I know there has been some reliance on Yahoo Groups for classic info. If you use it for any sources, download them now.

Duplicate from Server Chat.

Mobile firms face chaos over allocating new phone numbers because of their reliance on an outdated online forum which is being shut down.

i wish i could remember all my yahoo information because im pretty sure all my original steam accounts and eq and stuff are possibly still sitting there... but im sure its either impossible to access or just barely worth the effort, i could very well still have the patch note emails sitting in there if they existed and wasnt removed automatically

You think they wouldn't want to erase from the internet any evidence that they were once the king of the internet.
