The problem is the structure and limitation of the group make it near
impossible for those looking in the past for this great information to
find it.
If you don't keep up with the group, the good information will be
missed, lost forever.
I've tried to search for specifics... it was painful.
All this great information that gets left in time.
Great information that only those that continue to follow each thread
can discover.
If we agree that there is a problem with the yahoo groups, then we either:
1) Put up with the problems
2) Try and fix the problem (Contact Yahoo or 3rd party)
3) Leave it behind and move on
If we decided today to go with option 3, in 1 year, or say 25 years,
will it matter that we moved?
Will we all regroup on the other side?
Is the format of these groups part of it's own failure? The average
newb has probably been part of a message forum. They generally know
how to navigate, search and retrieve great information from a standard
message forum.
If those involved had started a message forum instead of the yahoo
group how much bigger (or smaller) might the group be?
If I say something brilliant and no one reads it, does it matter that
I said it at all?
