Our group too is looking right now at the PGOffline.? At the present time, our Yahoo Group is the largest tractor membership of 2793 members within Yahoo Groups after the Verizon takeover.? Before that, the John Deere group was the largest.
?
Our only concern is having messages as an archive to review when needed.? Most of the messages deal with tractor fixes, 3pt attachments, and what size diesel engines can do what type of work.
?
Myself and other group members no longer have a Yahoo Owner nor moderator anymore.? Thus, it's just a few of the members doing the work.? We lost the owner back in 2009.? Then the mods during the Verizon ordeal because none of them could get their accounts to work, even with Yahoo assisting them.
?
So, after trying a few of the Python options (most didn't work now after the Oct 28th date) PGOffline seems to be our only option as small farm farmers don't have $220 to go premium nor another $200 to expedite.
So, with email addresses, how are we handling this ???? We have sent out DAILY reminders for folks to join us at Groupsio post on the current Yahoo Gruops.? We have posted this in various tractor forums on the web as well.? Both in English and in the known other international countries too.?
Sure, it would have been GREAT to have an owner or mod helping in this, but nobody is left.? Our group was left on AUTO-PILOT.? Our issue is, the plane is running out of fuel on Dec 13th at midnight, and how do we land this thing.? Groupsio is the runway in sight.?? We want all aboard our membership to survive, but we do know there will be those as causalities.?? BUT, some farmers are now in retirement homes, passed on already or let the business.
