Human-Assisted Archival of Yahoo Groups

Re: Human-Assisted Archival of Yahoo Groups
#22How fitting that Yahoo archival needs to be organized by people.
How so? Are you referring to some kind of history of Yahoo?

#23An injunction would be nice, though I'm not sure if a court would see anyone as having sufficient standing to stop the gears entirely.

#24Could Mechanical Turk be used to do this? I'd be happy to make a donation to help offset the cost.
This is the third time I have seen this suggested. Maybe get in touch, and try to suggest that. I am also in a tight schedule these days and it would be easier to help with money.

Yahoo started by building an index of the internet but instead of using an algorithm, they primarily relied on people crawling the web and categorizing websites and curating things. It was a people powered directory.

#26How can I recognise services that intend to live forever? Meetup used to have reports and mailing lists but it went to a sinking company and is now a pointless SPA which doesnt let Firefox log in. I know a group that acquired several competing products, and they missed a crucial innovation which the indies had for a while.
Re: Human-Assisted Archival of Yahoo Groups
#27I wonder if groups with actual members will be OK. I'm a member of one and have several years of message digests in my email. I just downloaded all of them. For groups without members, or with no-one bothering to read them anyway, maybe it doesn't actually matter?
If they are public, yes, it should be ok. Regarding groups that are old or inactive, A couple that I'm concerned with had important early discussions, that people on other derivative groups refer to regularly.

#28Is there a possibility of asking ReCaptcha to disable their protection for Yahoo Groups? It's a reach I guess.
That's Google, and that would be suicide to the brand.
Exactly. Especially since Google is trying to transform reCAPTCHA into an enterprise offering: https://cloud.google.com/recaptcha-enterprise/

#29Is there any way to make this extension work on Firefox?

Recaptcha is the crappiest product Google makes, in my opinion. If they're as bad at detecting a human, they shouldn't even be trying. I can solve 10 puzzles correctly in a row and it's still thinks I'm not a human.
