Re: [PolySix] Yahoo Groups shutting down, Polysix group will move.

Please no. Although I’m on Facebook (and on the groups you mention), this is a horrible solution imho:

- Presentation of message threads is horrible.
- No decent archive search.
- ...
- Some people despise Facebook and all that it stands for. And I respect that.

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.
