I've seen a couple of open source projects (TianoCore and Yocto) move
their mailing lists from Mailman to Groups.io (https://groups.io) in the
last year or so. I'm personally not a fan of groups.io because its
archive isn't as readable as mailman (it doesn't have a tree view - see
https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/topics for an example), you need to
create an account to subscribe to any groups, and they add a pretty ugly
footer to each message, like:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
View/Reply Online (#54761):https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/54761
Mute This Topic:https://groups.io/mt/71515873/3953573
Group Owner:[email protected]
Unsubscribe:https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/unsub [[email protected]]
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
But they do have a free plan (https://groups.io/static/pricing) so I can see
how it's attractive for organizations who don't want to admin it themselves. So
it could be an option for PLUG?

Well if we have to move away anyway I have an idea of how to maintain our site,
once we gain access to the domain again.
1. Move our website over to a Gitlab Pages (a static site on a branch of a
repo). This gives more interactions as a place people can suggest topics and
post slides/notes/videos of past presentations.
gitlab.com/provo-linux-user-group
2. Move all communication that was done via the Mailinglist over to the
Telegram group. t.me/joinchat/DKUwX0sHch1DXKNL4fmCnA
Once we gain access to the domain, which I think someone in the Telegram group
works with Ryan Simpkins, I’ll check, we can add the president to the account,
or move the domain to it’s own account and make sure the current president is
an admin for both the DNS and Gitlab project. Just some thoughts.

Bluehost has been kindly providing a server for PLUG for many years.
Yesterday, I received an email from them saying that the server will be
shut down on Thursday if we don't pay the $150 that is due for this month.
I assume it would be $150 per month after that. Obviously, that's not an
option.
Unfortunately, the person who was our contact at Bluehost (Jared Smith) is
no longer working there. To compound the issue, the domain is owned by Ryan
Simpkins, who I haven't had contact with in several years, so even if I set
up a new server, I would not have a way to point the DNS at it.
I will make sure we have a full backup of the mailing list before Thursday,
and hope for the best from there. I'm sure this will all get worked out one
way or another, but I'm not sure it will happen by Thursday.
Thanks!
