 I'm pretty sure this word 'yahoo' comes from a Polish word that I heard as a youngster which is pronounced starting with a 'p'. Pyahoo. Still two syllables pya'-who

As you may know, Yahoo is determined to destroy Yahoo groups.
I'm trying to save everything and move it to another provider, however Yahoo's ridiculous timelines are causing repeated outages of the site.
I have no idea what the outcome will be... Worst case, I may wind up starting something on Reddit or the like. It seems they want to live up to the name!
If someone calls you a yahoo, it's definitely an insult. Yahoos are thought to have very little education and culture. People think of yahoos as folks who were raised in a barn — maybe literally. A yahoo can also be called a bumpkin, hayseed, hick, rube, yokel, or hillbilly. 

It seems they want to live up to the name! There are ways to save your own posts and files, but they seem to be very limited.
