I had just recently been reading about Arweave [0], a sort of distributed file storage that claims to permanently store files/webpages using various incentives.

Seems like something like this would be a good way to archive this sort of information or build sites like Yahoo groups on top of this file storage in the first place.

Arweave is doing great stuff but I think it'd still run into a similar situation as archive.org -- Check out the arweave discord dev community if you haven't though!
Storage isn't really the problem in this case, collecting the data is the problem because yahoo/verizon are actively hostile.
