Man those were the days. I wish I would have hit them about five years before I did. If you knew the tricks it was a gold mine. Like for instance how putting spaces or some funny ASCII character before your site title in the links would put you at the top of the links list or how the calendar feature could be used to automatically post a message once every couple days automatically (forever!) after setting it up. I must have been personally responsible for over 1,000,000 links and messages there.
But don't judge me too harshly I kept it in the adult groups and tried to stay relevant to the group.
Yahoo really fucked that up and they clearly don't know what they are doing. It's a shame. To this day it's a sitting duck for spam. It still could be useful for people if they got the spam under control but they either don't have a clue or they don't know how to do it so everyone left.
