Fortunately, we have already archived these groups: messages, files, etc. ~~We now~~ have ~~to determine a strategy to make the archives available (preferably in searchable format, etc)~~.

Fortunately, we have already archived these groups: messages, files, etc. They have been archived at https://archive.org/details/YahooTuningGroupsUltimateBackup.

~~Unfortunately~~, ~~Yahoo! has given us only a few short days~~ to ~~make any announcements~~ to the ~~list before they make everything read-only~~. ~~It will certainly take us longer than this to get everything together~~.

An interface to look at the messages has been made available at https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/, thanks to Facebook User "Cmloegcmluin Xenharmonic Feisbeuk." The link to the Facebook post announcing this is [https://www.facebook.com/groups/497105067092502/permalink/1852177861585209/ here], and has been archived below:

As a result, we would like to link everyone to this "[[YahooTuningListArchival]]" article on the Xen Wiki at http://en.xen.wiki/w/YahooTuningListArchival. We will post updates to this article as we determine a strategy to archive and rehost these groups.

----

~~When we~~ have ~~things together, we will post a link~~ to ~~the new group location on this article~~. ~~We will also send a message to the mailing lists once the new group location is determined~~.

I have made some archived microtonal mailing lists available to browse online here: https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/

~~Thank~~ you and "~~stay tuned!~~"

Recently I shared on Facebook that I had taken a backup of them (https://archive.org/details/YahooTuningGroupsUltimateBackup) and made them more easily searchable by uploading them to GitHub (https://github.com/cmloegcm…/YahooTuningGroupsUltimateBackup). I have taken it another step further now by parsing the content, sorting it into topic threads, and linking up attachments (e.g. https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/…/topicId… has a working attachment).

I have also corrected internal links so that they link to the appropriate message, and patched a couple of sites that moved. If you notice any other big swath of broken links I could easily patch, please let me know.

There's no search at the moment so you may have to cross-reference the GitHub repo for now until Google indexes it and you can search for things within using the Google query "site:yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io what I'm looking for".

Of course it's not much to look at, but it's a heck of a lot nicer than trudging through JSON blobs of unencoded HTML...

A handful of the topics were missing messages. Perhaps they were deleted. And I noticed a couple other Yahoo groups were linked out and appeared to be microtonal in nature ("PracticalMicrotonality", and "Posttonality") to but I didn't have backups for these ones. I hope they weren't lost forever in this recent Verizon acquisition fiasco.

Anyway, these old mailing lists are a treasure trove of ideas and history. I hope everyone enjoys this increased access to the information. If anyone has any concerns about me sharing the material in this way, please let me know.
