Yahoo Groups going away (That means Spielfrieks)

Yahoo has announced that as of October 28, Yahoo Groups will stop 
accepting new content and on December 14 will delete all content. That 
means that this group will go away at that point.

Granted, not much activity occurs here these days, other than the 
Meeple's Choice Awards each year. That will need to find another home of 
some kind. Reddit is likely a good choice.

Moderating/owning this group for the last 10+ years has been a pleasure. 
I would like to thank everyone that has contributed over the years in 
any way, especially Larry Levy for running the awards for so many years 
as well as the great retrospective awards. Also, a big thanks to all of 
the people who have acted as moderators or owners of this list over the 
years, including, but not limited to, Erik Arneson (the list owner 
before me), Mik Svellov, and Ward Batty (who helped approve new members 
and posts when the group was more than one person could reasonably manage).

Discussions these days have primarily migrated to various forums, 
especially BGG. I suspect that the real usefulness of this list is long 
past, though it was great when active discussions happened here. Before 
boardgamegeek.com, spielfrieks was one of the best ways to have a good 
game discussion.

To assist with the continuation of the Meeples Choice awards, I have 
created a subreddit, r/spielfrieks to host discussions. It is currently 
private and inaccessible. Larry, if you want that opened up, please let 
me know. I grabbed it just to keep the name in case you want to continue 
the awards via something named spielfrieks.

If anyone has any suggestions, thoughts, etc, please let me know. I will 
be happy to open the subreddit up to everyone and post info here for 
those of you who aren't familiar with Reddit. Reddit has quite a few 
very active board game groups already. My thoughts are that this one 
would mostly be for award discussion, but it could be used for general 
discussion as well.
