Neil, try "groups.io". It's where we've moved the Coco3FPGA group to. They have an automated move script that copies everything for you. I think the message board is "pay to use" (really cheap), but our group donated enough to cover it.

Subject: [Coco] [Color Computer] Destruction of Yahoo Groups

As you may know, Yahoo is determined to destroy Yahoo groups.

I'm trying to save everything and move it to another provider, however
Yahoo's ridiculous timelines are causing repeated outages of the site.

I have no idea what the outcome will be. Worst case, I may wind up starting
something on Reddit or the like. It seems they want to live up to the name!

*If someone calls you a yahoo, it's definitely an insult. Yahoos are
thought to have very little education and culture. People think of yahoos
as folks who were raised in a barn — maybe literally. A yahoo can also be
called a bumpkin, hayseed, hick, rube, yokel, or hillbilly. *

It seems they want to live up to the name! There are ways to save your own
posts and files, but they seem to be very limited.

SMH

Neil
