Migrating the group

 

As some of you may know, as of December 14th Yahoo will delete any files or images uploaded or attached to the groups. Also, I believe they are moving to permanently end the Yahoo groups site from what I have read.

It would be heartbreaking to lose the valuable info on this group. It’s invaluable for owner based repairs, especially in the case of the CS80 where moving the unit is risky and most techs wouldn’t want to take the job of repair on anyhow.

It seems like 开云体育 might be worth looking into but we’ll need to do something for sure.
 

Thanks for the heads up. Would have been nice if Yahoo had notified me. I’ve only been the group owner for 15 years. Anyway, I’ve wanted to get this off of there for a long time to a better forum platform. I looked into it a few years ago but didn’t get too far.

I’ll have to look into alternatives including groups.io. Is anyone here interested in helping with this? Preferably someone with experience in forums? I’ll also have to see what my email/web hosting company (bluehost) has available these days.

I looked into this a little. I see Bluehost has PhpBB but I don’t know what’s involved in setting it up and transferring this group. The groups.io site advertises automatic transfer of Yahoo groups which is a huge advantage. However, how confident are people that it will be around for years?

Comments? Suggestions? Volunteers to help with the transfer and administer the new site?

Hi David,

I’ve just downloaded all of the files and photos of the technical procedures etc. ?There’s a few pics of various owners keyboards and internals that I didn’t bother grabbing.

The conversation history will be around until December 14th but I understand the photos and files are about to be removed.

There’s a chance that we can view the site via the WaybackMachine archive, but the group would be essentially dead.

I’m happy to help if we don’t have a more tech savvy user to weigh in.

I’ve created a ?account and a new cs80 group and started the transfer procedure. ?I’ll keep everyone up to date with the status of it. ?After that, I guess people will need to join the new group.

?was started by the guy who created Yahoo Groups. ?It’s been around - starting in beta - for about 5 years now. ?Everything I’ve read about it looks favorable so it seems the obvious choice.

Just landed here. Thanks to the moderators for handling the transition of this small but important corner of the 'net.

Good work David, this is a great outcome.

David,

I also spent the last day downloading everything in the Photos, Files, and Database areas (yes, even the photos that didn't have enough resolution to really be useful, sadly). What I do NOT have is an archive of all the messages. I didn't subscribe to getting the messages emailed to me periodically, so I'm just hoping that since you've migrated them all here, then they should persist here after Yahoo turns off the lights on their Groups area. If anyone has a collection of the technically useful messages, please let me know (otherwise, I guess I'll just have to slog through them at some point to "mine" the juicy bits).

As for the Photos/Files/Database areas I downloaded... I've zipped them up (the zip is almost 150 MB) and I could put that on my Google Drive and share a link to it here for anyone who would like a collection of those three areas up to the point of 6-Nov-2019. I just don't want to do that unless I have your permission to do so, since you're the owner of this forum. I just got scared of everything going "pop!" and decided to archive it all before it might do the disappearing trick. Anyway, thanks for migrating it all over here. Just let me know how you'd like me to proceed.
