Proposal for an "Archive" Group

2005-06-01 by Radra

There is a great deal of excellent information presented in this 
group.  It would be a shame to see members refrain from posting
files, photos, etc. because of limited space.

May I suggest a related group be set up for the purpose of storing 
files and photos.  The Homebrew_PCBs group would still be used as the 
primary place to post messages.  Additional archive groups could be 
created as necessary to accommodate future storage demands.

The Homebrew_PCBs group can be used to store current files and 
photos, say those less than one or two years.  Older material can be 
transferred to the archive group.

The new group might be called "Homebrew_PCBs_Archives".  May I also 
suggest that, in the future, anyone posting files and photos, include 
the related message numbers in the associated descriptions.  Doing so 
will greatly facilitate the ease with which this material can be 
used.  It would be helpful to do this for the existing files and 
photos.

The storage problem is not unique to this group but will become 
common as other active groups grow in size.  As cost of storage 
decreases, Yahoo may eventually allocate additional space to its 
groups.  But until then, a long-term solution must be found.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
