Yahoo Groups shutting down, Polysix group will move.

2019-10-17 by Ben Stuyts

Hi all,

This is your friendly moderator of the Polysix Yahoo Group. As you might have heard, Yahoo is shutting down Yahoo Groups starting October 28. For details read:

https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/16/20917710/yahoo-groups-deleting-all-content-upload-message-boards-email-communities
and
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN31010.html

I suggest we move this group over to groups.io. I have already made a new group over there: https://groups.io/g/polysix. 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.

Kind regards,
Ben

It looks like the free version of groups.io has a 1GB limit for file
storage. Florian, do you know if any of the Yahoo groups you moderate
already exceed this?

Is groups.io free for our use? I only see "free for open source
projects". As an owner and/or moderator of several synth groups I am
quite interested in it.

To be honest: I think this is not 1GB of files as in the Files section
of yahoo, but 1GB storage for all content. This means: If pictures or
attachments in messages are allowed, then your 1GB will be filled up soon.

Also the topic "Edit email addresses & confirm members" is not available for the free version. If I understand it right, then those groups would be open (subscription does not require confirmation by the moderator). That is not what I want, it opens those lists for spammers...

Hi Florian,

Basic use with limited storage and features is free, and as far as I can tell it does not need to be for open source.

However….. if you want to migrate a Yahoo group, you *have* to get a premium plan for one year. (You can downgrade to a free plan afterwards.) And that one year plan is $110 / year. As far as I can tell you can have unlimited groups and/or migrations for that plan. I have two groups at Yahoo (PolySix and newmellotrongroup). Perhaps we can share the cost? Are there any other Yahoo moderators interested in sharing the cost?

I have looked at other alternatives (Google groups for example), but who knows for how long that will still exist. And there is no migration possibility. I could also host it as separate mailing lists on my synth-diy.org mailing list server, but there would be no file sharing etc.

Kind regards,
Ben

Hi Florian,

No, I have set the new polysix group on Groups.io up in the same way as this one: I (or any other moderator) have to approve new members first. And even then, their first post is moderated. Should take care of spammers. This is in the free version.

The one thing I’m missing on Groups.io is that on Yahoo Groups, you had to give a short explanation why you wanted to join the group. I have not found this option (yet) on Groups.io.

Kind regards,

Ben

Correcting myself: you need a premium plan PER GROUP. So there is no cost sharing possibility. Initially I thought I could get a single premium plan for my own account and work from that to migrate more than one group.

I’m not going to pay $110 per group to transfer the old content over. That is just too much. (Anybody want to chip in?) What I will probably do, is send out invitations to the existing members on Yahoo to join the new group. The old content here @ Yahoo will continue to exist for some time.

Grrr,

I think you should be able to download all files from the group, perhaps they could be accessible on some free cloud service:

Yes, but that is a manual thing. One file or photo at a time. You can only get a complete archive for your own yahoo account. Not for a group.

Hi Scott,

Yes, it would be great if people could contribute. I could put up a gofundme page, or directly via paypal (probably cheaper). That would allow us to transfer almost everything over to groups.io. Otherwise, it would be a blank slate there. Even the archive here (19000 messages) will be gone.

The way the transfer to groups.io works is as follows:

- we now have a free plan at groups.io.

- you have to get a premium plan for at least one year. Otherwise you do not have the migration option.

- premium plan for one year costs $110.

- after that first year, the premium plan is no long necessary. Unless you need more than 1 GB storage. (I don’t think so.)

Details are here: https://groups.io/yahootransfer

If we don’t do this:

- I will export the current member list, and import this into groups.io.

- They will then send out invitations to join the new group.

- If someone wants to save their own photos or files, it’s up to themselves to re-upload them to groups.io.

Thanks,

Ben

Re: [PolySix] Fundraiser?

2019-10-18 by Ben Stuyts

Thanks Scott,

If we can get a few more, I’ll set it up.

I was looking at gofundme.com, and it doesn’t seem too bad. They only charge the cost for the payment processors. The advantage is that it’s for everybody to see the progress. I moderate another group (newmellotrongroup) for which I am trying to do the same thing. Unfortunately, it is $110 per group...

I have looked at other alternatives (Google groups for example), but who knows for how long that will still exist. And there is no migration possibility. I could also host it as separate mailing lists on my synth-diy.org mailing list server, but there would be no file sharing etc.

Kind regards,
Ben

Well good on you for making the effort Ben.

Happy to do my bit in support.

Hi Scott,

Yes, it would be great if people could contribute. I could put up a gofundme page, or directly via paypal (probably cheaper). That would allow us to transfer almost everything over to groups.io. Otherwise, it would be a blank slate there. Even the archive here (19000 messages) will be gone.

The way the transfer to groups.io works is as follows:

- we now have a free plan at groups.io.

- you have to get a premium plan for at least one year. Otherwise you do not have the migration option.

- premium plan for one year costs $110.

- after that first year, the premium plan is no long necessary. Unless you need more than 1 GB storage. (I don’t think so.)

Details are here: https://groups.io/yahootransfer

If we don’t do this:

- I will export the current member list, and import this into groups.io.

- They will then send out invitations to join the new group.

- If someone wants to save their own photos or files, it’s up to themselves to re-upload them to groups.io.

Thanks,

Ben

Correcting myself: you need a premium plan PER GROUP. So there is no cost sharing possibility. Initially I thought I could get a single premium plan for my own account and work from that to migrate more than one group.

I’m not going to pay $110 per group to transfer the old content over. That is just too much.. (Anybody want to chip in?) What I will probably do, is send out invitations to the existing members on Yahoo to join the new group. The old content here @ Yahoo will continue to exist for some time.

Grrr,

Basic use with limited storage and features is free, and as far as I can tell it does not need to be for open source.

However….. if you want to migrate a Yahoo group, you *have* to get a premium plan for one year. (You can downgrade to a free plan afterwards.) And that one year plan is $110 / year..

From experience I fear any attempt to collect annual fees will gradually die. I fear anyone taking on the task will end up eather give up or having to bear most of the cost a year or two from now.

It seams the p2k group will try move to https://encyclotronic.com/forums

Not sure how important the file archive are anymore? It seems most of its content already are readily available through search engines.

To me the real value on this group are all the post from knowledgeable people sharing they experiance. It seams most aspect of the P6 already are covered herein.
If anyone will take the job converting this content to some kind of text archive or FAQ (or at least make sure the archive are saved somehow) I'll bee happy to host an archive over at http://snw.lonningdal.no/

Hi Hans,

This would be a one time thing only. Groups.io requires a one year premium plan to do the migration. After that, we can go back to the free plan and continue as is.

Definitely not a yearly renewal!

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

2019-10-18 by Florian Anwander

Hello,

I am the admin of the Korg MonoPoly group. I am faced with the same
problem like Ben with the Polysix group.

I checked the amount of messages and found that it never was really much!
See http://www.florian-anwander.de/yahoo/monopolyraw/2/calendar.html
The Korg Polysix group has a little bit more traffice, but but still in
the range of two or thre messages a day (in average).
The Korg Trident group had a short life in 2008 and 2009.
There is no group for the MS-Series.

Now I ask myself whether it makes sense to create a group on group.io
for every analog Korg synth.... Wouldn't it make more sense to create a
new group on group.io which is about all analog Korg instruments. This
would be 700, 770, 800DV, polysix, poly61, poly800, DW-6000, DW8000
monopoly, trident, MS 10,20,50 VC-10 and SQ1, plus some string machines
and the old drum machines.

What do you think about it?

Kind regards
Florian

PS: I tested some bash-scripting on my websever which created a very
basic archive of the Korg-Monopoly-group. It contains only the messages
and has only a very basic index-list.
See http://www.florian-anwander.de/yahoo/monopolyraw/2/
It is still in an very basic and experimental state, but in general it
worked

I could do the same for the Polysix-Group.

Some of them could definitely be combined. There is a korgms2000 group but
nothing much happening there this year. The korgpolyex group (for Poly-800,
EX-800) is very active under Mike Hawkins. Combining some of them would need
the 10GB data limit, not 1G in the free version. I'm a long time owner of a
Poly-61 and a DW-8000 but I don't think I ever checked to see if there was a
group for them.

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

2019-10-18 by Ben Stuyts

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.

This Facebook Korg Polysix, Mono/Poly & Poly-61 Group has a files section etc. currently under 600 members. It's a user group but repairs questions get asked and I'm sure they'd be happy with new members. https://www.facebook.com/groups/159498841307876/

This Vintage Synth Repair And Mods group has 10k members with some brilliant techs, workarounds etc for all things synth - Vintage Synth Repair And Mods - https://www.facebook.com/groups/vintagesynthrepair/

Hello,

I am the admin of the Korg MonoPoly group. I am faced with the same
problem like Ben with the Polysix group.

I checked the amount of messages and found that it never was really much!
See http://www.florian-anwander.de/yahoo/monopolyraw/2/calendar.html
The Korg Polysix group has a little bit more traffice, but but still in
the range of two or thre messages a day (in average).
The Korg Trident group had a short life in 2008 and 2009.
There is no group for the MS-Series.

Now I ask myself whether it makes sense to create a group on group.io
for every analog Korg synth.... Wouldn't it make more sense to create a
new group on group.io which is about all analog Korg instruments. This
would be 700, 770, 800DV, polysix, poly61, poly800, DW-6000, DW8000
monopoly, trident, MS 10,20,50 VC-10 and SQ1, plus some string machines
and the old drum machines.

What do you think about it?

Kind regards
Florian

PS: I tested some bash-scripting on my websever which created a very
basic archive of the Korg-Monopoly-group. It contains only the messages
and has only a very basic index-list.
See http://www.florian-anwander.de/yahoo/monopolyraw/2/
It is still in an very basic and experimental state, but in general it
worked

I could do the same for the Polysix-Group.

Or maybe even VintageSynth…. why restrict it to Korg? Or would that be too broad and loose focus?

(The reason I’m asking of course is because I have that other list, newmellotrongroup, which is not really Korg related. :) )

There are some groups that are big enough and busy enough (YamahaDX, korgpolyex) that would probably be better on their own.

I believe there are some 3rd party options that will download everything if that's what you want to do. A quick google search found a couple options.

Yes, but that is a manual thing. One file or photo at a time. You can only get a complete archive for your own yahoo account. Not for a group.

Already on it 🤓, I’m working with this script now: https://github.com/IgnoredAmbience/yahoo-group-archiver

It’s not working as is, but I’ve got it now so far that it can download messages, files, photos and databases. It crashes on certain message attachments though, so still working on that. At least this will give me a complete archive just in case.

I totally agree with Florian. It's horrible to search for content, combines and sells your demographics and is overall ethically poor. Even ElectroMusic.com (that may not be correct) or Muffs would be better.
