Re: [PolySix] Yahoo Groups shutting down, Polysix group will move.

Already on it 🤓, I’m working with this script now: https://github.com/IgnoredAmbience/yahoo-group-archiver <https://github.com/IgnoredAmbience/yahoo-group-archiver>

It’s not working as is, but I’ve got it now so far that it can download messages, files, photos and databases. It crashes on certain message attachments though, so still working on that. At least this will give me a complete archive just in case.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
