Like LB Shriver’s publishing of Survival in Paradise, the Voice is
gone entirely now. Even in digital came the Death of the Village

off the Press.

The Village Voice now, “..bought it in 2015 to restore it to its
early glory, stopped print publication almost a year ago, it seemed
that it would be only a matter of time before its online presence
ceased as well. The Voice didn’t appear to have a strong sense of
identity anymore, in part because the New Yorkthat it covered —
downtown, the underground, bohemia and its ephemera — didn’t exist
anymore,neither in a physical sense nor as a state of mind.”

Yahoo-Groups as a place of forum it seems for a lack of corporate
maintenance (Verizon) could easily stop too as a place. It took 24
hours yesterday for posts to appear, kind of throttling the free flow..
Maybe they're trying to "put the genie back in the bottle" or so they
think. If Verizon were to decide that Groups was not profitable and
shut it down there would be much outcry and bad press for them. So
instead maybe they're just trying to make it unusable.
It's obvious these days that the corporate masters aren't happy about
the free speech on the Internet.
