GWV Archive in Yahoo Groups
« on: December 09, 2019, 02:05:38 AM »
Recently I received a message from Yahoo management stating that they were going to soon delete their Yahoo Groups archives, so I should download the archive ASAP.  I downloaded it yesterday.  Now I have to figure out what to do with it.  If I live long enough, and have enough energy to do it, then I plan to edit it, and post the relevant portions of the archive here for research by future contemplatives.

Hello Jeff,

I pay yearly for a 100 GB Google Drive storage, which I could clear out to host some of these files. Google storage also allows the files to be downloaded or viewed publicly if you enable it. I would encourage you to compile what you can, and we put them on the cloud. Then even a simple wordpress page with a link could preserve the discussion boards. A final idea, better, may be editing / annotating a compilation for publication (finding a publisher for a mystically oriented book will be the challenge, however :)).

Thanks, Alexander, for the offers.  Sounds good.  I think the GWV website has enough storage room, but I will have to evaluate it.

Curious to know, where will you put the archive?

Good question, Intuition.  I have not even looked at it.  I suppose it will become a downloadable.  I am open to suggestions.

I think that would work well. I'm also working on getting the entire GWV vehicle downloaded for an archive

This forum is automatically backed up by the server, but it should be manually backed up periodically by the admin, which is me.
