Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Thinking of moving the group to Groups.io

From: Dave Daniel <kc0wjn@...>

Steve,

I am a member of a bunch of groups, some of which have moved from Yahoo to groups.io with no problems. The groups.io web GUI is certainly much, much easier to use than the Yahoo NEO interface.

I have for several years now thought that Yahoo's insensitivity to complaints about the NEO interface is indicative of larger problems there. Using a facility that is dedicated to hosting forums makes a lot of sense to me. Continuing to use Yahoo does not.

The one issue with moving to groups.io is the cost of storage. To my knowledge, it is not free of cost. However, I believe that it is relatively inexpensive, particularly is it was covered by a bunch of forum members contributed $1/bunch each.

I certainly would support such a move.

I have quite a few groups on Yahoogroups. All are experiencing intermittent problems. 

I'm considering moving to Groups.io. The existing Yahoogroups would not be deleted.

Opinions?

I'm the listowner.
