Post by robert.lewis.tl@gmail.com »

Hi


To those that might be interested in the running the Yahoo groups system offline there is a presentation on how to purchase the license key at
https://safaritoonces.org/pgoffline-yahoo-groups/


This is a discounted price of $14.95, you can use the software for free for 21 days.
The previous presentation showed what the software did and how to use it.

' Jim
I think you missed or misread my previous messages. 
I clearly stated that I receive no money or free products or renumeration of any kind. I paid for a license to use the software the same as anyone else and recorded the process. Then I created a presentation on how to buy the key and activate the software to save people problems.
I retrieved the files and posted presentations on how to preserve all the information because Yahoo will stop access and ultimately delete the content and because no one else seemed to have a solution.

'Am I correct in assuming that efforts to date are focused on saving the "Files"?
But, NOT on a continued presence of a venue for dialogue (questions and then answers by knowledgeable owners who have been there and done that)?
Seems like only a small (but important) part of the benefits of the group is being addressed.

' I tried to be as dliberste as explicit as I know how about what I did, how I did it and why.
Here it is again.
  1. The common concern was that there was 20 years of collective information that would not be accesible in the future. This knowledge base is in part but not in total, 40,000+ messages.
    1. I extracted all these messages and uploaded them to a safe repository...Amazon.
    2. The next admin can repopulate the new forum site with this database, there is no charge. I am not part of that decision process.
    3. There is no charge or fee for someone else to pull this archive down and use it. I am paying the storage charge and have not asked anyone for re-embursrment.
    4. To access the messages in the repository/database a software system is needed. I found the software PGOffline. It is not free, it costs $14.95, I do not receive nothing from any sale, and have paid the full price just like anyone else. You don't have to use the software, you can find your own solution.
  2. The last part of the information set are the FILES & PHOTOS &LINKS. You can down load these without charge, it is free. I pay for the storage and bandwidth without compensation. The files can be used in a PDF viewer, JPG viewer... Etc wihout charge.
I don't know how to make this clearer.
There are ways to extract and segment the information by user,  but I do not have the time nor interest to deal with this further. The only other solution will be to deny access to the data for everyone if there is continuing conflict.

'Brett and the rest of the group members,

At this point, that is what is being done. As preservation of files,
photos, and conversations is the number one priority, so all doesn't
get lost. Once that is secure, which I believe it is, thanks to Robert
Lewis, then the next steps can be taken to find a new platform and
provider. Also, preserving everything first, allows R G time to find a
new venue without having to rush the process and potentially
blundering it. Methinks, this is going to take time, so we need to be
patient and communicate ideas and/or concerns to R G, after all he is
the long time, dedicated group owner, who deserves our gratitude and
respect.

A continued presence of a venue for dialogue? (was Yahoo Groups - PG

Post by mel96safari »

'Brett
We all may be overthinking this.
The "Attention" notice from Yahoo states: "Sending/Receiving email functionality is not going away, you can continue to communicate via any email client with your group members".
Sounds to me like new posts, (both questions and answers), will continue to be available as before...(We will know for sure after October 28, 2019).
