Yahoo! Answers is gone, Yahoo! Groups is gone, Yahoo! Messenger is long gone, everything I used to remember about Yahoo! except searching and e-mail is gone.

Oh I didn't know they removed Yahoo Answers. I probably haven't used that since like 2006-7.

Yahoo has always seems to be one of the worst for spam, at least when i had one.

Also on that, they used to be really bad for out going spam, like 90% of spam i got on my hotmail came from a yahoo address

Obviously it still has its search engine, which was always its most famous offering. iirc, it used to be one of the options in Firefox, but it got replaced by Bing which is basically just a pared-down Google search.

Fuck Yahoo games. Yahoo took over and discontinued the Games Domain Castle on the grounds that they already had their inferior games service, which didn't even include many of the games offered in the GDC.

Yahoo is the fucking worst. I'm largely happy to see the company fade away and classify itself as obsolete after all they've done over the years.

You still have Jagex, Jagex is still making games, if not thriving right now. Everything that was good and memorable about Yahoo! is gone now.

The only minigames offering they did after that was FunOrb, which was never on par with the GDC and it was a paid service. And they wound up closing it down.

If you're talking about Yahoo Games, remind me what original titles they had? Because I can't think of any offhand, unlike the GDC which offered Cyber Wars, Treasure-Crypt, Battle Things, etc. All of those are lost to time. Yahoo killed *all* of that. Yahoo was the direct cause for those things no longer existing.

Then I have a secondary beef with Yahoo over its non-stop security issues and the fact it erased my old email addresses which caused me to lose out on both memories as well as the ability contact old friends who I had lost touch with.

Not Yahoo! Games, I didn't even know that was a thing. I mean stuff like Yahoo! Answers, Yahoo! Groups, Yahoo! Instant Messenger, etc.

Yahoo has been stripped down to the core now. I don't think they even have yahoo games or yahoo answers anymore but it has been a while since I visited yahoo so I'm not sure about that.
