Re: [xpantastic] Yahoo is killing Yahoo groups- Should we moved to Discord, Discourse, Slack or something similar?

2019-10-18 by John Pallister

The primary benefit of an email-based system (which Yahoo Groups is for me, I've never used the site) is that it's easy to search the archive (as I don't delete old/read messages). Facebook in my experience is terrible for searching for old content (or indeed is just generally terrible). Please let's not go there...

If we can keep going as an email mailing list that's great. It looks like we'd need to move the files we want to keep to e.g. Google Drive or something by December 14th.

I'd hate to see all of us lose touch due to Yahoo killing all of the Yahoo groups.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep this group alive- elsewhere?

Thanks

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
