Dear Yahoo! Management,

We, the undersigned, are signing this petition to protest the new Yahoo pricing structure in relation to several of the services most popular features such as Yahoo Groups, Yahoo Mail, and GeoCities. While we agree and understand that it is the primary goal of any company, including Yahoo, to expand their services and to make money, we feel that Yahoo is deliberately targeting users who have no choice or option in using Yahoo services. Yahoo Clubs, Yahoo Groups, Yahoo Mail, and GeoCities are all services that, once signed up for and established, are very difficult and extremely inconvenient to migrate from Yahoo to another service. We believe that Yahoo is deliberately targeting these users in total disregard to our needs and desires.

We would like to strongly encourage the management of Yahoo, Inc to reconsider their pricing structure for these services and consider continuing the current structure of Yahoo as supported primarily by advertising.

    • I really don't think that charging money for these aforementioned services is fair to those people who can't pay for them, i.e. kids and teenagers that have no jobs.

    • I will never pay for ANY of Yahoo's services. There is ALWAYS someone out there who is willing to offer it free. Yahoo, you should be ashamed of yourself for being such a greedy pig.

    • IF you do this we will all leave. As one other person has already said, and I totally agree, "charge more to the advertisers who take up so much space in OUR emails!"

    • Please reconsider the decision to charge fees for pop mail. The only reason I have this service is to alleviate missing an email on my yahoo account. It will be something I will have to discontinue (my yahoo email account) if this service is charged for.

    • Dear Sirs, You have created a large following of us who can not financially afford to pay for your service. I am 67 years old and my Yahoo Groups are my life. I live on a total of $640.00 dollars a month and this computer is my life. My several Groups are my family and I will be so sad if you require cash payment in order for me to have a day by day connection to all of my friends. Sincerley, Donald J. Brigggs from Syracuse, NY

    • You don't want to start charging and loose a lot of valuable customers. From a busniness prespective I think that would be a bad move.

    • This is not right for you to charge for services that you promised would be free for life... remember who your customers are! We come back and spend out money to support your site... not to be lied to and lead in to a paying more money for soemthing that you agreed to be free!!

    • you forced us from clubs to become groups, then all of the options that are in groups that were made before the conversion are not available in the converted groups. Mail service is worst now than ever too.

    • I will no longer be using this service as my ISP already provides all of this, making it rediculous to pay someone else for the same services.
