OR does anyone have any suggestion of a way to make the archive I have in PG-downloader available to many users .... Short of telling all of them to install a copy of PG-downloader?
Contact the developer at Personal groupware about this. He may still have his
program available that can take saved group posts from PG offline to upload into
Groups.IO groups. I don't know what the cost is but when you figure the transfer
cost right before Yahoo Groups was closed down was about $220 or so, it would be
a bargain. (I think you can do the transfer from MBOX files but there would be a
fee if you have Mark do it.)
What I did was create subgroups for the Yahoo Archive in each group I uploaded
with his program. You could instead start with a new group, upload all your old
Yahoo messages, then open the group to new members. That would make the old
messages the oldest posts, followed by the new ones.
I made the subgroup open to anyone without the need to be approved (only members
of the main group can join a subgroup anyway, so they've already been vetted
previously). I also made the subgroup announce only so no one can post to it.
