Yahoo Groups Countdown Timer

Countdown to Jan 31, 2020 11:00 pm. Showing days, hours, minutes and seconds ticking down to 0

Back in December, due to the hard work of many people (including the OTW who wrote a letter to Verizon asking for more time) we were granted an extension on the time limit  we had to join Yahoo Groups and request copies of the group archives. That deadline ends tomorrow Jan 31, 2020. If  you are  a  member of any Yahoo Group you still have 24 hrs+ to sign into Yahoo and request a copy of your Groups archives. You will get a copy of all the messages and the files ever posted to the Group (no photos however, those have been deleted).

marchmetamatterschallenge. "As sites hosting art, text, music, and more continue to either close up shop or change their Terms of Service, there have been various efforts to save content on what is often very short notice. It would be even better if fans gave our works this attention before a crisis hits. While creators have often used multiple sites to host their works, one type of work has generally been left out of fans' efforts at archiving and preserving fanworks -- meta. . . . The priority for Meta Matters is to make sure meta doesn't vanish with sites or personal accounts when those get closed or moved."

Rogue Archives: Digital Cultural Memory and Media Fandom, a 2016 book by Abigail De Kosnik. "An examination of how nonprofessional archivists, especially media fans, practice cultural preservation on the Internet and how 'digital cultural memory' differs radically from print-era archiving." See also a three-part interview with the author and a review of the book at Transformative Works and Cultures.
