Just FYI, you also have the option to make a list "unpublished", meaning
it doesn't show up in the Yahoo listings or searches. This is nice if
for some reason you want to keep a group private AND invisible.

A huge advantage of YahooGroups is that your list is then listed with
tons of other lists and people can trip over it. And the reverse, once
you find this list and learn how to use YahooGroups, you can find other
lists on topics that interest you. This can be a very valuable resource.
My research has benefited greatly from this resource.

I had been looking for a community to live in for 20 years and would
never have found cohousing except that I tripped over the word in an
article in the NYT that I was just skimming.

On YahooGroups anyone looking for community, housing, intentional
communities, etc -- use whatever keywords you like, and people will find
the list. When people search a subject, the larger lists are listed
first so good lists float to the top. (People do leave bad lists.)

In addition to visibility, the best feature is the ease of access.

There have been blips lately as they change over their servers and
redesign their system. They are infuriating at  not responding to
queries but that is improving and they now have an outside group asking
for feedback on all support queries.

The features allow for a moderated list and automatic message threading.
The moderator can delete offensive messages from the archives, review
the messages of new members, make other people moderators, etc.

Messages can be saved in a separate archive if desired.
