Terminator Yahoo Group

[allisonritchie]

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this. I was just wondering, where did the Terminator group go? It probably shut down. However, before, the moderators were quite adamant about not closing the Yahoo group. Perhaps I missed something?

Thanks.

It was deleted the first week of March. I understand why Kai did it - it must have been a difficult decision after all his hard work - but I really miss it. I'd been on there nearly four years.

Any other ex-Termies still around?

I lurked far more than I posted there, due to the fact that I flat out hate email-based communities, such as Yahoo groups. I often gritted my teeth and considered offering to set up a phpBB message board instead.

For some reason, Yahoo ate my account a good while before March, and valiant efforts to restore it were futile, so I lost touch.

Yeah, I never subscribed to the emails, I just read them all online at Yahoo. I found that much easier to manage.

The last few months were full of heated debate about the JT hoax, until most people got bored and started talking about more interesting matters.

I think Yahoo groups look terrible, messy and hard to read. I remember headdesking violently because there finally was a group I couldn't resist joining, despite my enormous issues with the structure.

It was nice seeing such a supportive and friendly online community. Too bad there were rotten apples in the basket.

Yep, I felt the same when I joined it - why oh why does it have to be a Yahoo Group??!

It's a shame that people angered by the Leroy hoax decided to target the group maliciously. I think it's fair to say we were ALL angered by it, some more than others, but most of us had more important things in our lives to worry about, y'know?

I've been one for two years. But I posted maybe once or twice.

Yeah, like others have said, I subscribed to the e-mails, and suddenly it was gone. I should have saved the e-mails.
