DDougThe whole philosophy of research and invention to be publically shared is put into jeprody by this yahoo failure.We were depending on the public record to safeguard concepts and ideas from monopoly exploitation preditors, by having public historical records of achievements.It was believed that yahoo was presenting this to us. Now we are discovering by a corporate slight of hand these records can go down in flames, or worse, oblivion.I have been somewhat pissed at the change that happened to our photo files a ways back.Remember that young Hector with his Rotorverter?He may have told us things a million times, but where is the search engine now?This is very concerning.Do you best to preserve the recordsCheers Warren

Hi MAchinatous
I read about this group - you can transfer all members easily, and everyone seems to like it, however the whole thing is done by just one person, which worries me a bit.....
But better than yahoo, since there is NOBODY running anything at yahoo...they made the terrible neo format for groups, forced everyone to use that, then have just left it like it is since then and closed support and improvements and fixes to it, because of cost-cutting when Verizon bought out yahoo...
I have been in online yahoo help and suggestions and their so-called "support" and it looks very bleak, the future of yahoo groups.
People there say there is now absolutely NO SUPPORT and no one answers or helps with any technical problems that might happen.
There are so many complaints, such as all files have disappeared, nobody can post, and just about every glitch you can think of has happened to people and moderators in yahoo groups and nobody cares at yahoo not one bit.
So anyways I am scared that one day everything will just vanish here - with no warning, so I have begun to transfer all the files in files section to a flash card and am about halfway down so far and I still need to also go into EVGRAYTOO and TOOB and TOOC which all have some very good stuff in their files too.
I looked into google groups, they do not seem to have ability to store and categorize files like in yahoo...
I hope there will be a miracle and someone at yahoo will take notice, pay some people to fix the problems and set up some sort of help line for people to call or email to with the problems there are with yahoogroups. Also there are many complaints at google groups not getting any support too..
This group format you linked to looks best bet to transfer to, as it is made by disgruntled yahoo groups user and the transfer is supposed to be easy...
I am going to wait until all files are safe in flashdrive, and ask some questions there.....another thing very good about yahoo group right now is the ability to go back 5 or 10 years and read and copy and study the old posts so I want to see if all posts and everything there is can be transferred over, and if that forum and format has a search function for history...
Probably it is best not to actually delete this group, but to leave it "functioning" in place, and then have a mirror-site working too....
ciao
