FW: [motm] OT: Future of Yahoo Groups
2001-04-12 by Tkacs, Ken
Is there any way, I wonder, to get the database files for the past two years so that someone else has half a chance of hosting the archives in case the worst happens...?

I heard on the radio yesterday that Yahoo is in the beginning stages of financial difficulty and that there are layoffs planned. My intention is to begin discussion on the possible alternatives to Yahoo groups to avoid any possible interruption to our interests and also to explore the possibilities of archiving the valuable discussions that current rest on Yahoo servers. If the company does have problems, it would be a shame for all of this knowledge to suddenly become inaccessible. I wish that I could lend some information to this discussion, but I am far from an expert in these matters. Scott
