Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Yes, the files and photo’s are still available. I have a script running that’s archiving them (and retrying, and retrying…) as we speak actually. Just to be on the safe side.

Interesting point that you bring up w/respect to the fee and multiple subgroups! That would be a great opportunity to get all the Vintage Korg groups together and migrate everything over. I’ll have to make sure that this can be indeed done with the one $110 fee.

Can we get the word out to the other Korg groups? I’m not on any of them. I am already in touch with Florian from the MonoPoly list, but it would be great if any of the other group-owners could contact me off-list (just use yahoo@stuyts.nl <mailto:yahoo@stuyts.nl>). I will then try to coordinate our efforts.

Small technical detail/gotcha:

Please note that migration is ONLY possible if you are the actual list owner. Being a moderator is unfortunately not enough. This has to do with the fact that you have to add a new moderator (groups.io <http://groups.io/>) to your Y!G, and only group owners can do that. Unfortunately there are some (many?) Yahoo Groups where the owner is no longer active/involved.

Thank you all for your ideas and suggestions!
Ben

If you decide it is, I suggest you go check the files and photos section here on this yahoogroup to see if you have access to the files.  I just checked another Y!G yesterday and I couldn't see most of the photos.

For example, You could do "analogkorg@groups.io <mailto:analogkorg@groups.io>" as the main group, pay the $110 and then transfer PolySix into a subgroup, "polysix@analogkorg.groups.io <mailto:polysix@analogkorg.groups.io>" and then MonoPoly into "monopoly@analogkorg.groups.io <mailto:monopoly@analogkorg.groups.io>", etc....

You set your questions in your initial new-member pending message.  When they reply to that message, the emails are attached to their address/account and then you can see that in "pending members".  Approve those with answers.  If they don't answer in two weeks, the pending member gets flushed.

There is a possibility to migrate most of the content and memberships automatically. If nobody objects I will start this process in the next few days.
