I would be happy to host the Monopoly and Polysix groups on my forum.
If you want to float that idea to them, go right ahead. I would only
need a moderator for each forum.
On our yahoo group, there is very little in the files section that I
don't already have. So there is almost nothing to lose there.Some of
the photos are worth keeping. If I have enough time, I will download
them ready for reposting later on our new forum.
Since Verizon has not provided a way to export the messages, there is
very little we can do but say good bye to 20 years of information. I
can't say that I am worried about it because our new forum will answer
questions when they come up anyway.
I have not yet added a 'korgpolyex' forum on my site. But if enough
people say 'go' then I will go ahead and do that. And I think the last
message that gets posted onto the yahoo group needs to point newbies at
the new forum. So assuming that no one else steps in and creates
something else somewhere, I'll post a link to our new forum.
Anyone that wants to test the new forum at
https://www.hawk800.com/forums/, please go ahead and test out the
functionality. I want it to be as smooth and painless as possible. But
I need to know what works and what doesn't in order to do that.
Cheers,
/Mike
