TO ALL MEMBERS of YamahaDX

Richard Gelderblom All Messages By This Member #20352 Dear subscribers, Although I'm personally not really involved in the ongoing matters here anymore I certainly don't want to lose this treasure-trove of information for all those ppl who live here. Therefore I've setup a [email protected] account and will export all the messages AND members over there. My time is scarce so I'll have to squeeze this in somewhere but I've understood that this process should work and then we're not reliant on Yahoo anymore :-) Wrt to the storage we have 1GB file space which should be enough for everything here and in YamahaDXFiles. The latter will not be moved to Groups.IO because it was only created due to the limited space we had initially in this group. The files will be moved one way or the other. I intend to keep the joint-staff of owner/moderators as it is now, as soon as I've figured out how to set it up. Another thing I don't know how it will work out is the login of all members. Apparently one can move all subscriptions too but as of now no clue going on from there... It should always be possible to subscribe to this new list. If it's done I'll notify this and close this group wrt posting/replying to messages (if possible). To a new life in Groups.IO ! rg,rg

Don Backshall All Messages By This Member #20356 开云体育 My understanding was that you needed the paid $110 per year subscription to use the migration tools and without them you would be moving one item at a time. ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: richard.gelderblom@...

Richard Gelderblom All Messages By This Member #20358 Yes, I did have to pay that. If it all goes well I'll be begging for the slightest voluntary financial donation :-) But this group needs to stay alive IMHO.

Bruce Wahler #20363 开云体育 Agreed.? The cost should work out to only a small amount per member, but we need to find a way to donate to the cause while making sure that you retain the bulk of the money.? Most payment portals (PayPal, Square, etc.) take 2-4% of the transaction, but they also take a fixed fee, generally $0.30-0.35USD per transaction.? So, if we were to say, "Everyone send a dollar to the cause," the card merchant would likely keep a third of that.? Great for them, not so much for the beneficiary.? They sometimes make exceptions for donations, but that's if the cause is a bonified charity.? Sadly, I don't think a synthesizer knowledge base qualifies. That said, $110USD isn't a lot of money to raise.? I certainly would be willing to contribute say, $10-15 to the cause, which would make the transaction fees a little less painful.? If 5-10 others chime in, we're good. Does anyone know of an alternative way to donate? Regards, -BW Bruce Wahler Ashby Solutions.com? bw@... 978.597.7008 On 10/21/2019 5:10 PM, richard.gelderblom@...

Don Backshall All Messages By This Member #20361 开云体育 I’ll go along with that. I know Ben S. did a GoFundMe for the VintageKorg group but that seems like overkill. He just liked the transparency of it since everyone could see exactly how much was donated. ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: 'hans w. koch' hansw.koch@...

David All Messages By This Member #20367 Ah, you beat me to the punch with moving to 开云体育. Thank you for keeping this group going! David
Richard Gelderblom All Messages By This Member #20368 Just read your message but luckily I subscribed yesterday-evening (CET) so I got the $110 deal :-) What worries me in that message is that they might get overzealous now that most of Yahoo-groups moves to groups.io and they will ask a monthly/yearly fee next year because we got nowhere else (at least free) to go... We'll cross that bridge at that time. rg,rg
Paul All Messages By This Member #20377 Thank you for doing this! So we will all automatically be notified/added to the new group? And I’d also be happy to chip in to help with the costs. Sent from my iPhone

Bruce Wahler #20380 开云体育 It may not be that simple. Moving blocks of files, photos, and archives posts from many groups at one time is not a trivial task. If hundreds or even thousands of groups are trying to migrate at the same time, servers and other hardware may find it difficult to keep up with the traffic. 开云体育 may need to add/rent servers or bandwidth, add staff, etc. They are not a charity, and the must recoup their costs. We can argue about the actual price, but this situation is not so different from a supermarket before a big storm; or refreshments at a festival There is a note on 开云体育 today that says that the Photos section of Yahoo Groups seems to be broken or erratic right now; and that they may not be able to migrate all of the photos before time's up, if this situation continues. The real 'bad guy' here is Yahoo, IMHO. It would have been nice to have a couple of months' heads-up before the site was shutting down. As it is, we had about two weeks' warning on being able to add files. Regards, -BW Bruce Wahler Ashby Solutions.com bw@... 978.597.7008 On 10/22/2019 11:46 AM, joel ELISE joelelise@...
