And my new yahoo account can't join any groups :/
I had this. Once I added a backup email address, it worked. I found this by trial and error. It seems that Yahoo doesn't consider its email addresses to be valid.

#54Jumped in when we were joining groups starting with 'S', and now we're already at 'E'. Really satisfying. Given that my account got a connection attempt from Sweden, I guess that's where the archivist live. Hopefully he will have a nice morning tomorrow thanks to the community.
I'd rather we archive large or relevant groups first instead of going alphabetically and having to join groups with just 1 post.

#56You can join a Yahoo group by sending a blank email to " -subscribe@yahoogroups.com". There is no CAPTCHA, only an automated email confirmation which you reply to. Is there a reason why that wouldn't work for this project?

If this works, would be much easier to automate the army of manual archivistas that is currently using the chrome extension and blocked by recaptcha.

I started joining groups a few hours ago and now have 43. The first group I joined started with U. Then there were some with T, some with S, and I'm at R now. I'd rather we archive large or relevant groups first instead of going alphabetically and having to join groups with just 1 post.
