Subject: Re: [AN1x] Plans to move this group?

Yep, I think that's the way to go. Start a new group and repopulate it. Those who are still reading and interested will join in. Even lurkers like me.

I have moved a few groups from yahoo to groups.io: the Korg Polysix and MonoPoly lists are merged to a generic Vintage Korg group: https://vintagekorg.groups.io/g/Maillist, and the Mellotron group has been moved to https://groups.io/g/Mellotron. These were full (paid) migrations, and truly painless. Unfortunately groups.io doubled the fee to do a full migration to $220 shortly after that.


But you can still setup a free group and do things manually (except recreate the message archive), as described below. I already have a full archive of this group, and I’d be willing to setup a new one on groups.io.

I'm another FB allergic. 

It's too bad because obviously it can be a useful resource for collecting information but their business model (I am the product) and the price I have to pay means that it just isn't for me..

Whoever the leader is over here could consider creating an AN1x group at groups.io. If the email messages aren't migrated then it costs nothing.

The files (content) would be easy to migrate, I already have a backup and others can take backups as well. (Ensure this is done well before Dec 14th. The more redundant copies the better). 

Perhaps a FB member could even help acquire files & resources from that source that aren't already available on the yahoo group and then add it to a new AN1x group at groups.io?

I can export the messages to PDF files and sort the topics by original posting date. That way the records are retained. If somebody else has a better way now's a good time to share the plan.

Any volunteers here who would like to start a new AN1x group at groups.io? That person will be the owner. It's probably for the best to add a few more members here as backup admins & moderators.
