Looking For 12 (Squared) Good Fen

Short: We need 12 x 2 fans to join Yahoo Groups to save 12,000 Yahoo Groups. You do not need to be a Yahoo Group member. You only need a computer and a browser. Deadline: Dec 11.

Long: With only 10 days to go, Verizon has cut off the Archive Team/Internet Archive from accessing 80% of the Yahoo Groups they spent November joining. For transformative fandom, this equals to a 100% loss of the public fandom Groups we submitted to be saved on the Internet Archive.

At the same time, Verizon has made changes that are preventing some moderators and members from using 3rd party tools like PGOffline to access their data

We need 24 fans - anyone with access to a computer and a browser - to join Yahoo Groups using IDs that we will supply. This is a manual process - after the first 20 groups, you will be asked to solve Captcha puzzles to join each Group  - but the work can be done over a full day

Step 1: Contact us for your YahooID and password: archiver1.fandom@gmail.com

Step 2: Claim a tab (add your name)

Step 3: Join all the groups on your tab.

Step 4: Email us at archiver1.fandom@gmail.com to let us know you finished.

*12 (Squared) = 144. We’d be happy with 24 people. But the more who join, the easier the job will be.
