Subscribers to the Dearborn County Public Forum Blog - IMPORTANT NOTICE

Our email from yahoo groups that we send to subscribers whenever a new post is made on  Dearborn County Public Forum blog is closing as of Dec 15. From that date one all subscribers will need to go to the blog itself to view postings at

 www.dearborncounty.blogspot.com 

Please bookmark that for your use. 

We are looking for another way to set up an easy to use subscriber list. If we find one it will be linked on the blog so that you can see how to subscribe. The notice below is from a press release from Yahoo Groups announcing the termination of that service.

We have used their service since 2004.

The blog itself will continue without the subscriber list for now.

Press Release

Yahoo has put the final nail in the coffin for its social media platform Yahoo Groups, announcing in October that the 20 year-old service will shut down on Dec. 15, 2020.

Yahoo Groups, which was aimed to help users stay connected to their community and friends, has seen a “steady decline in usage over the last several years,” the Yahoo Groups team shared with users in an email.

“Over that same period we’ve witnessed unprecedented levels of engagement across our properties as customers seek out premium, trustworthy content. To that end, we must sometimes make difficult decisions regarding products that no longer fit our long-term strategy as we hone our focus on other areas of the business,” the email continued.

Starting Dec.. 15, the Yahoo Groups website will be inaccessible as will its services, including sending and receiving emails.

“Thank you for helping us build one of the earliest digital communities — we’re proud and honored to have forged countless connections over the last 20 years and played a small part in helping build your communities,” the Yahoo team concluded.
