I would be surprised if anyone was using Yahoo for anything but a spam account when this occurred.

I guess a really good indicator that things were not right was when the CSO left the company with no real reason. He was like I want no part of this shit.

yahoo groups is still very big. it was big before yahoo acquired it (egroups), remained almost unchanged throughout the years, and is now in maintenance mode, but there are still millions of users who continue to sign up.

I regularly dream about being involved in the creation of a project that lasts this long. News groups, IRC, etc. I would love to look back on my career and think that I contributed to something that user's would simply not let die. The feels to be a creator of something of that magnitude has to change a person.
