Yahoo groups.

@DeWayfarer I never tried yahoo groups. what year did it operate?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Malice oh gosh it started long before this sites existence, which was 2016. I was posting in there around 2001 before I dropped out of the Internet.

Here the operation dates by ChatGPT...

Yahoo Groups was an online platform for creating and participating in discussion boards and mailing lists, launched in 2001 and shut down in December 2020. It allowed users to connect over shared interests, but has since been replaced by various other online community platforms.

This is what ChatGPT says on yahoo answers...

Yahoo Answers was launched in December 2005 and was officially shut down on May 4, 2021. It served as a community-driven question-and-answer platform where users could ask questions and receive answers from other users.


So yahoo groups open before Yahoo answers by four years and shut down a half year before Yahoo answers.

I was long on this site by then. Since I started in 2016.

i miss what it was in the 2000's before the trolls and report-nazis took over
Malice · 22-25, MNew
@Matt85 yeah stupid report nazis were the worst. Creative trolls weren't really that bad. You remember $mitty and Skinhead Charlie? Or Nico or Adamska? Idk if any of those are familiar to you.

@MaliceI don't recall the names... I remember the one who kept asking (who I think might have been a bot) about whether a skinny guy could crush a person with his thighs and the one who would just comment "poofy poof poof" on everything.
