# urgent! does anyone work at yahoo? or know anyone who does?
our yahoogroups list (with over 100,000 b3ta subscribers) has been deleted. We don't know why.

If you work at Yahoo and can help us sort this out please contact me at robmanuel AT gmail dot com.

# Reposting from /talk:
I just had a thought:
One of the conditions of Yahoo! Groups is:
"You may not use Yahoo! Groups for commercial or advertising purposes."
I wonder if the in-newsletter ads were enough to violate that?

# maybe
but I need to talk to them and find out.

If there's a problem then we can take over sending it ourselves, but we need the userlist off yahoo to do so.

# Why use yahoo?
Why not manage your own lists?
If you can set up and run a server like b3ta, why not also do your own mailing list?
