Yahoo Groups Shutting Down

I assume this applies to the Polaris mailing list: if true, all discussions and uploaded files will be permanently removed.

Yahoo Groups Shutting Down

Thank you Chris for the heads up.
It was inevitable that something like this would happen.
If you are quick enough you can save anything you want from this group. I'll try to save as much as possible and bundle this as a single compressed file which can be shared with everyone. Files are 20Mb and the photos and messages should be of a similar size.
Myself I won't use Facebook or Google groups ever so I won't go there. If anyone wants to go there and wants my support feel free to contact me.
Groups.io looks promising but with every 'free' option there is the same risk of that company stopping that free service. If anyone has any other suggestions please let us know and we can have a look and a conversation about it. Another option would be to rent an own place and run some (open-source) mail list there and become independent and future proof.
To all the users who don't frequently check in I'll try to communicate the plans ASAP and use this mailing list to point out where to go next (or if we need to move at all).

Managed to download most files and archived them in a single zip file. This file is shared for 7 days at:
If you want this file and you have no access (anymore) you can mail me at info at seriousmastering.com.
I'm still open for suggestions but I guess most people have moved on already.

Hi,
Thanks for the archive!
I’m moving a couple of Korg and Mellotron related groups over to groups.io. Looks like a good place. You could transfer the subscriber list over there (that is free), and also put the archive in the files section. At least the community will continue to exist.
About having your own place: I run the synth-diy mailinglist on my own server, but that only has mailing list and archive functionality. No files/photos/etc, but this has never been an issue. Feel free to ask if I can be of help.

Below is a long standing group (not on yahoo) that has great Polaris resources including one of the design engineers.

That’s my site. I’d be willing to host files on the site. I could probably also host the mailing list; I already have one for the Chroma.

+1 with a bullet! I hope you'll do it. Let me know (PM) if I can help.
Thanks very much for taking the initiative - or offering to think about taking it.

Thank you for the offer Chris. I guess that will be the best solution since using a free hosting option would mean that if they terminate their services we'd have to move again.
Feel freel to use the files on your Chroma pages. If you can give people a short instruction how they can sign up that would be appreciated.
So people can chose between the Facebook or Chris Chroma corner.
To all, thank you for the fun times on Yahoo and may we meet
again.
As for me my Polaris still is in the shop for over a year and the
synth doctor may have to give up on her. It has the new panels so
as spare parts it still would be usable. I do hope to find a donor
Polaris to merge the two Polari (?) into one working unit. If
anyone knows one up for sale I would prefer a heads up.

Thanks Chris, that is very generous of you! I’ve been in section 10 a few times. :-)
There’s good info in the mailing list archive here. Would be wonderful if you could somehow import that.
