I belong to a small support group for a small lathe and mill made by Prazi ( East Germany). Just FYI, such support from Yahoo is about to end: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/groups/SLN31010.html

No one may notice.

 

Is Google Groups an alternative?

 

Yes, that group has an as yet inactive blog there. I think everyone was expecting it sooner than later. It is now sooner. Just posted as as FYI.

 

Many Yahoo groups have migrated to groups.io

https://groups.io/

 

Sorry John. First that came to my mind: LTSpice, that served me so many times.
Have to find out.

Three years going on there... wow.

Thanks @djsfantasi BTW.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

 

Hopefully they will stop sending me, users posts. I've tried stopping it but, they still come anyway. I haven't used LTspice in long time.

I sent them a question re: the archived material. There isn’t much yet on the groups.io site. This is the exchange:

Hello Don,

I am just in the process to let groups.io import all the messages and files from the Yahoo group to groups.io.
Yahoo itself doesn't support anything. Yahoo simply close the groups at the end of 2019.

Best regards,
Helmut

 

There is a large equipment repair, test, amateur radio... set of groups there, will be a sad day if
that all disappears.

The way to get group data -

Hi Dana, not all groups have members with the knowledge to move such a mass of info (or even the interest of doing that).

Had I to do something like I would not know where and how to start.

In line with this case, few days ago I found out that the former forum Chatzone from EPE is finally off.

Since more than one year, it was "read only" but finally the owners of whatever pulled the plug.

Even my own posts served me to revisit some of my projects.

There were members with an incredible technical level. Learnt a lot from most of them. No flaming, I enjoyed being a member there. Such is life!
