A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE GROUP OWNER


 

Hi, All,

I am sure that many of you will by now have become aware of the decision by Yahoo to cease hosting member-contributed material on their Groups within the next few weeks.

I will send out a posting, hopefully tomorrow, with a few more details of the implications of this, but in the meantime perhaps you could cast your eyes over the following. The general assumption amongst Group members (not just this Group) appears to be that the obvious platform to migrate to is groups.io, and I know that many of you are already members of Groups operating there.

Were this Group to migrate to groups.io, and assuming that that would be to their "Basic" (ie, free) service, the first column below shows some of the features which we currently enjoy that would be lost.

I'd appreciate your feedback (I think we can probably take our views on Yahoo's parentage as spoken for) or, in particular; whether you have any knowledge of platforms which offer an alternative to groups.io?


Best regards,


Bob
Group Owner / Moderator
