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

Mike, with Yahoo groups going away real soon, a lot of
other groups are proposing to move to Groups.io. Unfortunately, without
migration tools from Yahoo Groups and a 1GB total files and messages limit,
the free version just doesn't cut it. There is some talk of combining Monopoly
and Polysix groups under one paid subscription ($110 per year) with separate
subgroups. They say subgroups work well on Groups.io. Kogpolyex is a fairly
active group with over 1300 members and we could cover the cost of the paid
plan (10G limit, with migration tools) for less than a dollar each per year,
or maybe combine with the other groups and form a new subgroup? One way or
another, we need to save the archives and keep this group going! Any other
ideas come to mind? Another possibility is a paid plan for one year so the
migration tools are available, then revert to the free version if the 1GB data
limit is sufficient.
