Re: Re: Yahoo Groups going away (That means Spielfrieks)

I've also been seeing that the mailing list functionality will still 
work. Thanks for pointing that out.

Since no one seems overly excited about doing something else, we can 
just keep it as is, I suppose. The announcements about Meeple's Choice 
can still go out and so on, since the voting is hosted at a site that 
handles the polls better. We just won't have the archives of emails or 
anything else here. If someone wants to host those, that would be great 
from a historical standpoint. I don't know if they will still support 
sending automatic reminders. I'll adjust what gets sent out each month 
(long overdue anyway) and cut it down to one email just to remind 
everyone the group still exists.
