The only true way to stay safe from yahoo deleting egroups is to find a new host. I can't offer any suggestions, but Yahoo is going to keep this up. They won't admit it, but their trying to phase adult content out of the net entirely, and this is just their latest goal...their own egroups. No, I don't believe they can successfully, but their sure as hell gonna try until either they succeed, go bankrupt, or have a sudden change of intrests (Like what you might get if you, say, replaced their entire head staff!). Neither is gonna happen anytime soon, so I suggest personly that if you own an adult list, start thinking on how to move off yahoo.
And yes, I know they SAY their not doing such...their gonna deny it full force...but one has to look at the evidence there...too many adult groups have already been deleted with no notice and no explenation.

Subject: [SkunkworksAMA] A HEAVY WARNING!!!!
A warning to all group Owners - - - !!!!
Since any Yahoo group search now displays the images seen
on the Yahoo group main pages... Yahoo is deleting all groups-
including their related email accounts- for those groups that
display nude, sexual or sexually provocative artworks on them.
Several such groups have already vanished, including Michael
Sherman's group 'Sherm_Furry'. Gone- as of today.
My recommendation; Remove or replace any or all main page
images with much less provocative ones... such as with FULLY
clothed furs or whatever. Or... YOUR group- may SOON be next!
Please feel free to forward this message- to any groups or group
owners whom may similarly be concerned. Let's save and preserve-
as many groups as we can.
And in case you're interested- Sherm's group was Restricted,
AND unlisted- but still... it was blasted... as also was his
email account, with all emails- lost- never to be recovered.
Good luck guys.
~ Jon
