Proposing Migration to Groups.io

Dear Jim and others,

Yahoo, together with Yahoo Groups, has been deteriorating for many years. For Yahoo Groups specifically, it sometimes means long service outage. I personally have experienced not being able to post messages without being given any warning of it's failure. Yahoo has been bought over by Verizon, which is not expected to make things better, as it seems there's no intention to.

I'd like to propose migration to Groups.io, which is created and run by the person who created Onelist, which merged with eGroups, which was later bought over by Yahoo, and renamed as Yahoo Groups.

Something from

Drop Google and Facebook Groups and Use This Instead - Lifehacker
Migrating from Google or Yahoo is easy

If you’re looking to make the switch from either platform, Groups.io has a fairly quick and automated way to dump your membership from a Google Group or a Yahoo Group and import it into Groups.io. The entire process takes about a day or so at most. For Yahoo Groups, Groups.io will also captures all of your group’s messages­but not attachments­and import them into your new Groups.io group.

Please consider this.

mettâ2u,
Kumâra Bhikkhu
