Please no. Although I’m on Facebook (and on the groups you mention), this is a horrible solution imho:

- Presentation of message threads is horrible.
- No decent archive search.
- ...
- Some people despise Facebook and all that it stands for. And I respect that.

This Facebook Korg Polysix, Mono/Poly & Poly-61 Group has a files section etc. currently under 600 members.  It's a user group but repairs questions get asked and I'm sure they'd be happy with new members. https://www.facebook.com/groups/159498841307876/ 

This Vintage Synth Repair And Mods group has 10k members with some brilliant techs, workarounds etc for all things synth - Vintage Synth Repair And Mods - https://www.facebook.com/groups/vintagesynthrepair/

Hello,

I am the admin of the Korg MonoPoly group. I am faced with the same 
problem like Ben with the Polysix group.

I checked the amount of messages and found that it never was really much!
See http://www.florian-anwander.de/yahoo/monopolyraw/2/calendar.html
The Korg Polysix group has a little bit more traffice, but but still in 
the range of two or thre messages a day (in average).
The Korg Trident group had a short life in 2008 and 2009.
There is no group for the MS-Series.

Now I ask myself whether it makes sense to create a group on group.io 
for every analog Korg synth.... Wouldn't it make more sense to create a 
new group on group.io which is about all analog Korg instruments. This 
would be 700, 770, 800DV, polysix, poly61, poly800, DW-6000, DW8000 
monopoly, trident, MS 10,20,50 VC-10 and SQ1, plus some string machines 
and the old drum machines.

What do you think about it?


Kind regards
Florian

PS: I tested some bash-scripting on my websever which created a very 
basic archive of the Korg-Monopoly-group. It contains only the messages 
and has only a very basic index-list.
See http://www.florian-anwander.de/yahoo/monopolyraw/2/
It is still in an very basic and experimental state, but in general it 
worked

I could do the same for the Polysix-Group.
