The Yahoo Cydonia group archives are going to be destroyed.
According to Yahoo, they are going to destroy the content in all of the Yahoo groups. No more content can be added to the groups after October 28 (this Monday), and the contents will be "permanently removed" on December 14.

The last posting in the Yahoo Cydonia group was in 2016, and it had slowed down for a couple of years before that. I don't know if people stopped looking at Mars for anomalies in that group, became dis-illusioned or what. In 2016 I was too busy with cancer treatment (I'm fine now) to think about Mars. Mac Tonnies was the only official admin at the time of his death and I don't think we were able to get anyone set up to formally replace him as such. The owner is that fellow from Malta (whose name escapes me at this moment -- Joseph something?) who stopped interacting with the forum many years ago.
Is there some way any of you can save the contents of the Yahoo Cydonia group as an archive somewhere? It's way beyond my technical abilities. I think we had some excellent discussions there, and made observations about Mars anomalies that shouldn't just disappear. I always thought it was one of the most grounded Mars anomalies forums out there, and we lost so much when other Mars anomalies forums shut down and weren't saved.
I'm not even sure how much of the group is accessible at this point, I seem to possibly be no longer listed as a member -- at least it isn't giving me access to the membership list, or giving me an option to post.
I occasionally lurk here at Hidden Mission, but Mars is one of the many things I don't seem to have as much free time to explore as much as I'd like. I think fondly of the fascinating discussions we had in the old days, and wish you well.
