Re: What will you do with your Y! Groups?


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I have moved only two small groups.? In one case, I deleted all the members except myself.? This allowed me to catch emails sent by non-subscribers (which was allowed on that group), alert those specific non-subscribers to the new address and forward those messages to the new group on groups.io.? In the other case, I was able to poll all members and delete the yahoo group once they approved of that step.

This reminded me of a question I've been wondering about.? For those that move to Groups.io, what will you do with your Y! Groups?? When the neo fiasco happened, I immediately looked for a refuge.? After I got set up on io, I asked all members that could/would to delete their Y! accounts, then deleted the groups that came with me.? I figured the fewer groups and members, the less revenue would be generated to support Y!.? They used to tout the huge number of groups and members in their advertising, but I'm not sure if they still do.? Of course, that included all the dormant groups and spam havens.? Probably a bit like jousting with windmills, but...

I know some plan to keep the Y! groups in place for awhile, if nothing more than an archive or pointer to io, but will you eventually delete them?? Will you ask your members to delete their Y! accounts if possible?
