The reason for these "Improvements" or "Upgrades" is NOT necessarily for the "user's" but for the "Agragators". What that is is all the JUNK you see on the page when you go the the group or when u receive an email from the group leaves cookies on your computer. Now all these cookies can be interlinked to each other. like a 3D spider web... in that each one can lead to so many more, and when you change from one website to another they can literally follow you around using all these cookies and such. thus they can eventually learn everything about you. And I DO mean EVERYTHING! they then sell this information to advertisers, governments around the world and other corporations. and its BIG business! thus they "try" to "improve" there ability to aggregate the information they want about you, your family, your friends, etc, etc, etc...
And NOW you what you know what these so called "Improvements" are for!
I am NOT not crazy,
My reality is just...
different than yours!

Subject: [SkunkworksAMA] RE: It's The Great Pumpkin!
The new Yahoo/NEO layout and interface is causing all sorts of issues. For reasons unknown, I'm not able to approve new members, and any attempt results in an error message. This is apparently a very common thing with the "new" Yahoo groups, as an untold number of moderators from other groups are having the same issues.
The new version of the group also does not post announcements when new files are uploaded. So if a new picture is posted here, I'd have to go back and make a separate thread for it just to announce the fact there's a new upload! Yahoo needs to either drop this current system or come up with a better one. I'll never understand why things are always getting "upgraded" or "improved", when nothing of the sort is happening, and the items in question were working just fine beforehand!
The group is also likely quiet as I haven't posted much artwork this year and haven't really drawn anything since early this year. Medical issues and work have kept my involvement to a minimum, unfortunately. And while the medical situation is improving a little, there are still a lot of problems (which have been going on since the start of 2013, really).
The lack of new material is likely a big culprit for the group's silence. No new art means no conversation! Heck, I don't even get to jump on and joke around like I used to...
