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

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

When I set up our new group in groups.io, I devised a plan to attrition the Yahoo group and discussed with my co-moderator. Our plan was to eventually make our Yahoo group still open but inactive. I sent an email announcement to our Yahoo group with our plan, giving them sufficient time to set up an account on groups.io and joining our group. We don't plan to close our Yahoo group but just let it sit there, in case we need to go back to refer to old posts. There is nothing there in our Yahoo group that is THAT important to keep. I have our member list downloaded and any files that we have I have maintained myself. I wanted to post the announcement on the Yahoo banner of our home page regarding our move to groups.io, but with the neo have been unable to make any banner or home photo adjustments. Makes me even more grateful of our move to groups.io and wish we had done it much, much earlier.

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?
