Transfers from Yahoo Groups ... Down?


 

Hi,
? I've heard people saying that transfers from yahoo groups are 'waiting'.

? 1) Is this real or are they proceeding?
? 2) Is this more of a slow down than a halt?
? 3) Have you had a request to transfer denied or been told it will be
? ? ? delayed?

? Yes, I have a group I'm going to be transferring in the near future.

Jim,
This was the message Saturday morning, I haven't seen an update.

"It has always seemed strange to me," said Doc. "The things we admire in
men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling
are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest,
sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are
the traits of success." STEINBECK - CANNERY ROW

Mark posted this the other day on Beta:


And for your convenience here it is. But likely it would be better to reply on Beta group.?

I was able to complete a lot of Yahoo Groups transfers this week. There were still issues of some missing files and photos, and the invite system throws up errors every once in awhile. But it was manageable.

Unfortunately, this morning, it appears there's a sporadic issue with Y! Groups' archives. Some of the time when I request a specific message, Yahoo will return an internal error message. Which means we end up with only partial archives. I've halted all transfers for now until this hopefully clears up (there are currently around 30 groups in the queue to be transferred).

(The group transfer process is unfortunately not fully automated. I have to respond to each invite, because of the captcha. And I need to oversee the crawling of the groups and the checks for space.)

Let's think about this for a minute.? As more and more folks get frustrated with Yahoogroups, and more come over to groups.io, the queue for migrating will grow accordingly.? As mentioned below, because of Yahoogroups captcha process, it can't be automated, so you need to be patient.? When I transferred my first group, it was done within a couple of hours.? I transferred another group (much larger) about a week or so ago and it took a few days.? And, between the time the first transferred and the second, Yahoogroups started giving problems with files/photo transfers.? My larger group got no files at all - so I literally had to go over to yahoogroups, download all the files to my computer, and then upload them to the groups.io group.? In the process of doing that, I discovered a LOT of hiccups/problems over at Yahoogroups with ME accessing my own files, so clearly there is more to this can of worms than meets the eye.

Patience - I don't work for groups.io, but I certainly understand "demand" and also limitations on time and personnel resources.? I'm sure SOME of the yahoogroups are migrating to googlegroups or something else.? But, I'm also sure that some of the less-active groups are simply dying off due to lack of participation.? Email isn't exactly something that the current generation uses as much as some of us older folks.
