Yahoo! Groups R.I.P. - What was your favorite?

[Smurof]

My personal most liked was that of Playgirl dream hunk John Holliday. ALL of his photos as well as video clips were on there. My runner up favorite was that of porn actor Marc Stone. I enjoyed gawking over some photo spreads that I was previously unaware that he was in.

 

I received a note from Yahoo! today that they are removing all of the groups in mid-December due to a lack of use.

I had actually forgotten that I was a member of a few groups. Probably hadn't visited them in at least four years.

Many of the Yahoo groups I was in became clogged with ads and auto-posted (I assume) links to other groups. Haven't looked at any of it in a long time!

Anyone remember “Hunghoney” - hot straight dude, blonde, tan, sold thongs on eBay? Yahoo had a PG-13 group. Sigh.

I belonged to one that focused on naked guys in locker rooms. But I haven't visited it in years.

I belonged to a bunch mostly focused on gay wresting stories. It went downhill when the removed all message history and uploads. Should have saved a few of my favs before they got pulled. Some guys could write really hit matches and quite a few did some great celeb wrestling fan fiction. I had some highly quality orgasms reading them.

Wow! I forgot about Yahoo Groups! I belonged to the Playgirl group, G mag group, and one that had glimpses of naked athletes (I don't remember the name). Lots of happy jerking there!

I think Reddit has replaced much of that functionality. Gosh, must have been 14 years ago I was using Yahoo groups.

Off-topic, but the mention of Yahoo causes me to ask why my Google search gives Yahoo results as if I used Yahoo to being with. This is new. Advice? Thx.

I had a computer one I liked, dealt with a legacy dBase compiler named Clipper? Pre Windows, days of DOS. Anyone?

 

Also, some local SoCal guy tried to setup a local escort/Craigslist/cruising 4 sex kind of group. I followed it, very limited postings, was entertainment but I never partook.

Unrelated to groups, I LOVED having a yahoo home page that had EVERYTHING on it that I wanted. Snow Forecasts for my favorite resorts, weather in my city and my "favorite" cities, quick link to recent movie reviews, NYT Science headlines, NYT Top headlines, certain stocks I was vaguely interested in, box office numbers, God other things too. All on one page, all in simple type. That was great. I miss a simpler more function oriented internet.
