Minesweepers Club
From Minesweeper Wiki
Minesweepers was the third Yahoo Club created for Minesweeper. It effectively died in 2002 when Yahoo bought eGroups. Founded 3 Dec 2000 by Minesweeperus. Members were welcomed with these words:

"hi to everybody!!!! i'm glad to meet u here!!! i hope that u have some good records to say it here!!!!!!" |
[edit] History
Minesweepers was the least successful of the three early sweeping Clubs. The group only amassed 9 posts in the first two years, most of them by the moderator requesting scores. Three people shared scores, and no files were uploaded until 2006. Nearly all messages are spam from dating sites. These results reflect well on its equally doomed rivals, Minesweeperclub and Minesweeper Club.
The demise of these clubs occured when Yahoo bought eGroups in 2001 and merged it with Clubs the following year. Due to early keyword matching, the new group could not be found by a simple search for Minesweeper. Additionally, eGroups already contained a popular Minesweeper group known as the Minesweeper Addicts.
The lone historically interesting post came from Richard Cross, who wrote 3 Dec 2000 requesting preferences on Minesweeper skins for Lady Di Mines.
