Yahoo! Clubs, thus we have had a little more time to fit us to the
change.
Jim was inspired once again, the day when by mistake he closed access
to the club, forcing us to look for a new place to exchange.
The reason that i say that "Jim was inspired once again", is because
of this email which I would like to share with you:

Around the beginning of the new year eGroups.com will re-launch as
Yahoo! Groups.
Yahoo! Clubs will continue to exist at this point for a couple of
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
months while we migrate your data to the new format.
¯¯¯¯¯¯
Once all the data has been migrated, Yahoo! Clubs will disappear,and
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
we will have one product,Yahoo! Groups.
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Yahoo! Clubs, (the NAME) will disappear. Existing club(s) will
continue to exist, they'll simply end up converting to the new merged
format, and they will then be referred to as Yahoo! Groups once this
occurs. Ditto for existing eGroups, they will get converted to the
new format and then be part of Yahoo! Groups.
These eGroup functions would remain in Yahoo Groups:-
- founder heirarchy
- polls
- e-mail membership weeding
- document storage and handling
- improved founder mail functionality
These Yahoo! Clubs functions would be superimposed on Yahoo Groups:-
- customizable mainpage
New feature (coming in future) :-
- customizable groups background
Discarded feature :-
- frame format (from yahoo! club)
