Next Steps: The Evolution of Yahoo Groups (Final Notification)

Dear Group Moderators and Members,

Last month we notified you of the changes coming to Yahoo Groups that better align with user habits, and today we are providing an update to guide you through the next steps of the transition. Yahoo Groups is not going away - but we are making adjustments to ultimately serve you better. We are amazed at the vibrant community you've created through Yahoo Groups and we want to make sure you feel supported as we introduce these changes.

The following changes were made since our last communication:

   •   Users can now only join a Yahoo Group through an invite or group request approval by the Group Moderator.
   •   New Groups can't be public. They can only be private (not listed in Groups directory, membership by invitation only) or restricted (listed in Groups directory, membership requests must be approved by a Group Moderator).
   •   Members must share all content via email, and can no longer upload or host new content on the Yahoo Groups website itself.

The following changes will be made on December 14, 2019:

   •   Public groups will no longer exist. All existing public Groups will become restricted Groups that require Group Moderator approval to join.
   •   Any content that was previously uploaded via the website will be removed.

If you would like to keep any of the content you've posted or stored within your Yahoo Group, please download it by December 14 by accessing the Groups Download Manager at this link. Once you provide your preferred email address, we will send you a confirmation of your download request and notify you once the download is complete.

You will receive a link to a downloadable zip file via email for each of your Groups organized into a separate folder. Download time varies depending on the amount of information and file size.

If your download request is made by 11:59pm PST on Saturday, December 14, 2019, your content will not be deleted until your download is complete. We are unable to accommodate any download requests made after this deadline.

This is the final reminder to download your content. You can find additional information about the upcoming changes here.

We have worked extensively with our customer support team to develop recommendations for tools that can help you with any download issues. See help article here.

We have watched the evolution of Yahoo Groups with awe, as we grew to a community of millions with over 10 million Groups. Every day, we witness the power of community and shared passions, and our mission is to provide a platform for the strong connections people make with each other around their interests.

We thank you for being part of the Yahoo Groups community and look forward to continuing to provide ways for you to connect with one another about your shared interests and passions.

Sincerely,
The Groups Team

Re: [electricboats] 1900+ km in a Solar Electric Powered, Side Wheel Paddle Boat

Yeah I guess that year is busted too, which is why I was originally going to do it in June, but as with all things marine, stuff goes wrong. I guess 2021 I'll try again.

Re: [electricboats] 1900+ km in a Solar Electric Powered, Side Wheel Paddle Boat

Thanks for the kind words, but no, not even close to a record - even for the Murray River trip!

Some of the inspiration for our trip came from the 2 voyages made in the 1990's by Sunboat I and Sunboat II from Prince Alfred College in Adelaide. See http://www.solarnavigator.net/prince_alfred_college_adelaide.htm.

I believe the dollar cost (without any equalising for inflation) of River Snail was something less than 10% of that of Sunboat II, reflecting the reduced costs of solar panels and electrics in the intervening 20+ years, as well as the somewhat more "agricultural" construction of RIver Snail.

I believe the Mundoo 3 Solar Electric (https://www.storerboatplans.com/boat/motorboats/electricsolar-power/example-of-solar-electric-real-world-use-liveaboard-boat-and-cartop-canoe/
and www.woodenboat.com/library-content/185.woodenboat-issue.pdf ) has also cruised much of the Murray.

About the only claim we can make is that we are perhaps the first solar electric paddle wheeler to make the journey!

But it was a lot of fun...

Dave

Re: [electricboats] 1900+ km in a Solar Electric Powered, Side Wheel Paddle Boat

A fellow named Jim Greer did the Great Loop in a boat called the Ra that was 100% solar and that's about a 7000 mile trip. They didn't even carry a generator or a gas outboard for backup. Just raw solar power moving them as fast as the sun shined. It took him a couple years to do the whole thing and he lapped the east coast a couple times too.

I'm wondering if that is an international world record for inland solar boating: though I'm aware that some folk have travelled the 'Big circuit' in the USA by electric boat, I'm not sure if it was solar all the way or battery electric.

G'day All:

I was reminded that I had been a member of this group when I saw the notification of the move to groups.io.

I had browsed the original Yahoo group a while back when contemplating building a solar boat.

We did build "River Snail (notopala solaris)" and I can report that we cruised her successfully down the navigable length of the Australia's Murray River during November / December 2017, a distance of just over 1900km taking us 6 weeks, completely under solar power.

If anyone is interested, further details are available in the blog at www.riversnail.wordpress.com.

Have fun,

Re: [electricboats] [Electric Boats] Re: Good news: the EBA will support the migration to Io .

I understand the problems some people have with Facebook Groups and membership (I have to use it anyway). I have had different but even stronger bad opinions about Yahoo and have been unable to post for years when I cancelled the yahoo email account I was forced to use to join this group. As someone who has had similar cancellation problems with a forum I initiated, I congratulate the great idea of moving this group over here. Too bad a solution like this won't work for the forum we have at boatsinthebelfry.com As someone who has only done some E.B. research for videos, I don't have a lot to offer except maybe some of the historical references I found. But, a few topic suggestions might be "Government labs solved the lithium ion over heating and fire problem while increasing power output by 1/3." Was this an urban myth, a cover-up or "fake news I read almost 2 years ago?" I seem to recall they planned to test the new batteries in defense projects, then maybe, let the tech trickle down to somebody. Obviously it hasn't trickled to Tesla Inc. Will the new movie re-kindle interest in electric alternatives? https://youtu.be/kue18AxK1tU

Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Good news: the EBA will support the migration to Io .

Hi Electric Boats group,

RE: monetizing

I've been picking up on some of the discussions about migrating the group and agree that facebook is problematic and

I've just spent a few minutes on the Groups.io site and agree it would be a better option. I've been a bit too busy this year to do ahead with

the electric conversion of my 1974 Dufour 35 sailboat but I have already learned a lot from the wealth of knowledge and experience shared in this group

and hope to comb through the archives when I am ready to do my conversion.

In response to Rob's questions about monetizing the group, my company would be interested to become a sponsor if the group decides

to go the sponsorship route. I am involved in a startup in Berlin Germany that is launching some products for the marine market including some

portable lithium batteries for running trolling motors on small boats that will have good performance, safety and be affordable. (www.bronson-energy.com) We are close to the launch date

and will need to get more focused on marketing so its a good time for us to think about this. As a startup we don't have huge troves of cash to throw around

but I think it would be well spent marketing budget for us to be involved in a group like this.

reach out to me if you decide on a sponsorship scheme, martin@bronson-energy.com

best regards,

Martin

Thanks, Barci9999.
In fact, in view of all the back and forth on this discussion area on what would be done about the site shutdown, I joined the Electric Boat Association as a paying member last week.
The EBA presently only has a handful or two of members in the U.S., but I liked the idea of joining an international organization, and I felt there was at least a chance that some other ElectricBoats group members would make the same decision.
I'm still working on my conversion project, and so look forward to exchanging information with everyone in the near future.

UPDATE ON MIGRATION TO GROUPS.io

There are 800 groups ahead of us in the migration queue, it seems to move at roughly 100 per day – obviously that is dependent on the size of the groups, etc.

So I am figuring that it will take about a week before I get the email saying all has been completed.

Yahoo Groups - Upcoming Product Changes to Yahoo Groups

Dear Group Moderators and Members,

Thank you for your commitment to Yahoo and for helping us define the power of digital communities. Eighteen years ago, we combined the functionality of a site called eGroups.com with a precursor community platform called Yahoo Clubs to launch Yahoo Groups. Since then, you and millions of others have helped prove our hypothesis, by creating and joining more than 10 Million groups.

A lot has changed about the Internet since 2001, including the ways most people now use Yahoo Groups. Today, most Yahoo Groups activity happens in your email inbox, not on the bulletin boards where Yahoo Groups started in the pre-smartphone age. Increasingly, people want content and connections coming directly to them, and this is why we continue to invest in Yahoo Mail -- including the recent launch of a new Yahoo Mail app that is currently the highest-rated email app in the App Store and Google Play.

So, as our users' habits have evolved, we have begun the process of evolving our approach to help active Yahoo Groups thrive and migrate to our email platform. To help you plan for these changes, below is the schedule of how this transition will happen.

Beginning October 28, 2019:

Users will be able to join a Yahoo Group only through an invite from the Group Moderator or by submitting a request to join a Group, which requires approval by the Group Moderator.
Since we are moving Group communication from posting on message boards to email distribution, uploading and hosting of new content will also be disabled on the Yahoo Groups website.

Beginning December 14, 2019:

All Groups will be made private and any content that was previously uploaded via the website will be removed. We believe privacy is critical and made this decision to better align with our overall principles.
If you would like to keep any of the content you've posted or stored in the past within your Yahoo Group, please download it by December 14 by accessing this link.

As these dates get closer, we will send follow-up reminders. More information about the upcoming changes can be found here.

While this evolution of Yahoo Groups is inspired by how we see the platform being used today, we know change can be difficult. Here are a few important facts as we make this transition:

1. Yahoo Groups is not going away - We know that our users are deeply passionate about connecting around shared interests, and we are evolving Groups to better align with how you use it today.

2. New groups can still be formed - Users can continue to connect with others around their common bonds and interests. From animal rescues to sporting and activity groups, civic organizations to local PTAs, members of our Yahoo Groups will remain connected and able to share their activities and interests. All of the content that you have shared previously on the website, can continue to be shared via email.

We know that Yahoo Groups is an important online extension of your real-life group of friends, interests and communities, and we are committed to supporting communities that rely on Yahoo Groups. Thanks for coming along with us this far. We look forward to seeing where the technology -- and you -- take us in the decades to come.

Sincerely,
The Groups Team

Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Good news: the EBA will support the migration to Io .

I just went through this with the Atkin Boats group. With over 900
groups ahead of you, and some behind you willing to pay a couple of C
notes to jump the queue, it'll take at least a couple of weeks for the
migration to be completed. Be patient.

BTW, I recently bought a little keel sailboat with an interesting
auxiliary drive -- a 24 volt trolling motor of the type that's supposed
to be bolted to the "cavitation" plate of a giant outboard, but it's
bolted to the side of the keel. So, I'll probably be participating more
here after the dust settles...
