Beginning October 21, you won't be able to upload any more content to the site, and as of December 14 all previously posted content on the site will be permanently removed. You'll have until that date to save anything you've uploaded." I know there are several owners groups hosted on the service. I guess we need to start looking at alternatives. Luke Switch to Slack - move conversations into targeted projects, faster 1:1 or 1:many chat, inegrate with Google. Due to lack of activity, rather than migrate I deleted the Region 12 Yahoo group today. R12 pilots can still use the Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/Region-12-S...0543575346351/ Jim |

Andreas There's no provision for files or photos storage in USENET groups, which rec.aviation.soaring is. Google groups that are not USENET groups allow attachments to e-mails. groups.io allow importation of a Yahoo Group, for a paid subscription (at least for the first year). There are others Google services which allow for file and photo storage, like Google Drive and sites.google.com, however, a high use of Google services can leading to throttling. Someone who knows more about Google services may comment more on this. Frank Whiteley |

Yahoo groups shutting down
I thought it might be useful to list all the soaring related discussion groups in one place, it is hard to find all the aircraft specific email lists if you don't know where to look.
Please add your group to this list. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing Chris |
