Yeah the writing was on the wall, wasn't it? Yahoo groups gone, now I think Google groups are on the way out too. Of the dozen groups I was a member of at one time, RBase, RStreet and one horse-related group are the only ones left. I work for my village's government, and whether you like Facebook or not, it is simply the fastest way to get information out to our residents. We can say "it's on our website" or "sign up for our automatic emails or phone calls" til we're blue in the face, and residents check neither. A FB group will work as long as there is the ability for people to create their own posts, include JPGs or upload files (altho it's only recently that we've been able to do the latter on the Google groups!) The thing I like about groups is that it pushes the emails to you, so no effort is required from me to keep up with the posts. In FB either you have to remember to visit the page, or turn notifications on which can be overload and easily ignored. We'll see how it goes!

I have archived posts from the various Lists including the old Developer's List going back to 2003 and I still occasionally search for information I remembered someone posted once upon a time. I belong to several groups on Facebook, mostly car related, and I find them very helpful. Habits are hard to change but we must move on with the times.

Use the below URL to join the R:BASE Community Facebook Group, and let's start a whole new way of sharing our R:BASE knowledge! https://www.facebook.com/groups/958182905107520 While you all join the group and get ready, we are planning to go live on January 3rd, 2022.
