The GothicBC YahooGroup's days are numbered. This is a good thing.

When the Gothic BC group was set up in November 2000 it was on a service called eGroups, which even longer ago used to be called OneList. OneList/eGroups were relatively ad-free and quite friendly to use. Then Yahoo bought them around about September 2001. People were not happy. There was much confusion about converting accounts to Yahoo, and the advertising became much more intrusive. Since then it's only gotten worse with more ads and features being revoked.
