RE: [IBLE] changing IBLE

I clicked on the link in Larry Arnold’s posting and https://groups.io looks
like a good fit for IBLE. And if it costs money, I’d be willing to chip in
to keep the community going. If clicking on the link doesn’t work, go to
Larry Arnold’s posting.

First, although the number of posts have declined as Brian mentioned, I
still want this group. If Yahoo Groups won’t work for us anymore, we can
find something else, and I’m researching other options right now. If anyone
has input on various free group options, let me know. Also let me know if
there are specific features you really value in a group like this, beyond
the ability to send and receive email and archive old messages.

Subject: [IBLE] Sad Info

Sad info re: the end of Yahoo Groups which will affect IBLE. Sounds like as
of this coming Mon, Oct 21 Yahoo Groups will be functionally over. I’m not
really into other social media, don’t have a Facebook acct & not a “techie”.
Even though, it seems posts to IBLE have somewhat decreased over the years,
there have remained those providing good birding info that has certainly
helped me in my observations.

Sure has been a good run & I hope a similar Idaho Birding forum takes the
place of IBLE. From my perspective, I’ve enjoyed the contact with others
through IBLE, having even met fellow birders in person, & hope to find all
again “in the ether” on another platform.

Good Birding, Brian Carrigan
