According to the Yahoo notice: these groups aren’t closing, merely having a “major function reduction”.
Ok then.
All content (files, messages etc) will be deleted, but messages can still be sent. Groups will be made private, and no new members unless the admin adds them.
How long that will last is anyone’s guess…

Subject: Re: [mach1mach2cnc] Forum closing
I really like this format more then the forums. I find the forums clumsy and slow. I looked for something more like this and I didn't find anything good. I would be willing to host something if anyone has a good idea.

Hi All:
On the subject of Yahoo closing the forums and whats happening..
Very shortly this forum will close, I have requested a full archive file from
Yahoo and their building it now. Ive contacted Brian and he will be taking the
archive and making whatever he can available on his machsupport forums
group.
While it was considered to move the group to groups.io, as Brian
runs a forum now it didnt make sense to run a separate second one.
I think we started in about 2003, so this is one loong running group,
Its been a p[leasure being your moderator for all those years, and while
I havent been here much lately, I have always watched from a distance
and shared my view when needed.
Should you find you need my input, jump over to the gearotic site
and post a message there and Im happy to answer anything that
only the developer might know.
Otherwise youll find all this ancient knowledge on Brians forum
at www.machsupport.com <> when its all shut down.
Thanks to all of you who followed Mach3 on this forum over
all those years, its a lot of good memories on my side. Ive met
some of my favorite people right here.
I wish you all the best in your CNC journeys. :)
