Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

In the announcement of my new website I concentrated on the basic facts:
- "I have a new site, which has a forum and an upload area"
- "From now on, you must go to this new site for support of BC Manager"

But of course this announcement has significant consequences for this Yahoo group:
for a start, users of BC Manager (and the BCF/BCR/BCN in general) no longer need to become/stay members of this Yahoo group to get my support.

And now that Royce has decided to jump ship too, this Yahoo group's future suddenly seems bleak, since many of the questions used to be answered by Royce or me.

But of course it's up to each one of you to decide whether you want to stay at Yahoo or come to my new site, or do both.

If it helps, I would be happy to allow any files to be copied/moved from the Yahoo Files section to my new site.
(I'm not sure if we'd be morally/legally obliged to obtain every contributor's permission for this; if so, that would be impractical.)

Another issue is of course the Yahoo group's message archive.
Transferring this "as is" seems impractical/impossible, but I could at least make the complete message archive of the last six years available at my site, e.g. as a zipped mail folder or a pdf file.

I'm open to any opinions and suggestions.

Mark.
