Subject: ?? IBLE to groups.io
I visit family a few times a year in Boise so I always keep up on the list. I am sure none of you have met me.
The list for central Oregon switched to Groups.io perhaps a year ago. Who ever manages switching over IBLE might want to check on how archives get switched so old news is not lost. For our list, the list administrator had to go through some hoops and maybe backed up some archives somewhere else and then put them in, general idea. I don’t know any specifics, as I am not a techie, but if a person wants to take some iniative with IBLE on it, I could give them the email for our list administrator just in case there is value in discussing the change.

note from a west coast correspondent regarding Brian’s question…..
” Most of the listservs that I am on that were using Yahoo switched over to [ http://groups.io/ | Groups.io ] . Maybe you should pass along this info to the people who run IBLE? Here is the website: [ https://groups.io/ | https://groups.io ] ”
I’ve heard elsewhere that yahoogroups is fading out, will cease to exist
Is anyone with techie skills discussing this? because several (many?) of us are not willing to play on FB……..
one thing we did c. 15 yrs ago when Audubon pulled the plug on our local Audubon chapter birding listserv… we each maintained a smallish list of email contacts for discussing birds locally, but when we went down that path we ended up with maybe ten local discussion groups – just in western Colorado – and that wasn’t serving us very well, so someone with savvy created a larger discussion group, a yahoogroup….
where are we with this, re Brian’s question?
Sincere thanks,

Subject: [IBLE] Re: Blue Jays!
Wow, Patty! 4 Blue Jays at your feeder. Maybe mine joined up with yours. It was here for 3 days but haven’t seen since. Just did some evening birding & found: RB Nuthatch, one female Evening Grosbeak & a Spotted Towhee. Have around 30 DE Juncos & a few Townsend’s Solitaires.
So, when I got onto IBLE just now, I’m seeing a notice from Yahoo re: Groups. Sounds like Yahoo is decreasing the function of Groups, overall. Guess my question is, will IBLE continue or will it cease to exist?
