Hello,


The Xpantastic! Yahoo Group will be transferred to Groups.io.


Members, archives (without attachments, however), photos, files, links and databases will be transferred.

It will take about a week and you'll be notified.


Thanks Jacob et al.!

Thanks Tiitu! Are you happy to stump up the $110 for the year's Premium access, as per the instructions?

Cheers,

John :^P

The pricing page says "Premium $10/month or $110/year"; the Easy Yahoo Group Transfer page says "Step 1. Create your new Groups.io group and upgrade it to premium for a year." So my understanding is different from yours...

I hope I did understand the instructions correctly and they are going to charge me $10 for the transfer after which I can switch to the free account.

An alternative I've seen suggested (for e.g. the QY70 group) is to just create a new group and encourage all active members to join that. Then the photos and files can be manually migrated across and the "best" email threads re-posted to the new group, and all the emails are available in the Yahoo archive for as long as that lasts.

Maybe moving to MusicPlayerNetwork is an option too.

I just see members archiving Yahoo groups ...

We could just move to the keyboard forum at www.musicplayernetwork.com. There would be no cost there.

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.
