So, apparently, Yahoogroups is shutting down. I don't know if this group has any plans on what to do, but one option that some of my other groups is switching to is groups.io. No, I'm not affiliated with them and I get nothing if this group migrates over.
If the admin wants to check it out, one of my other groups shared this link for how to switch... https://groups.io/yahootransfer- I’m good with that.Sent from my iPhone

I mentioned the thing Scott recommended to my husband and he really liked it when he checked it out. It has a tool to make it simple to just transfer everything over, so that does seem to be the better option. He's going to try and push it for some other groups.JohannaHunnieOn Fri, Oct 18, 2019, 8:37 AM Scott Atkims akinius@...

Akin the Finder, thanks for sharing the news.. Marsia, thanks for sharing these resources:
https://fandomopolis.com/2019/10/17/major-change-in-how-yahoogroups-operate/I started a little research also.Sequence:
Download your Yahoo Group data using Personal Groupware http://www..personalgroupware.com
Export the the data into your chosen database (e.g. MySql)
Upload the data using the Google Groups Migration API https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/groups-migration/v1/get-start/getting-started
Or a simpler/inelegant way:
Create new group.
Forward all old messages to new group.Invite members to join new group.I have a big recital this weekend, but will get everything moved over to a new group Monday 10/21. Anyone have experience (or curiosity) with this and want to help?Anyone want to weigh in on which new system we should use? I'm partial to Google, as I use it for everything: other groups, gmail, calendar, drive, spreadsheets, even dabbled a bit in apps scripting.Thanks,
Adam

Happy to switch...Do we have a kind soul that was acting as administrator?There is low activity, so I do worry we’d lose touch with interested parties, but maybe we have no choiceSent from my iPhoneOn Oct 17, 2019, at 1:12 AM, akinius@... [ArielAmbulance] <ArielAmbulance@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
