Default Moderator announce: Closing rec.ponds.moderated - Your recommendations?

We have come to the time when server fees are due for rpm. Looking at
the low volume of usenet traffic and the increasing popularity of free
social media, the moderation team recommends that we not renew the
contract for the server and that we consider going to free social
media.

There are other groups available and we could start our own. The team
would like to start a discussion to see what options people might
like.

Any opinions?

While I have been away for a while, it is always so informative to receive
notices of activity in the group and ALWAYS good to review the info and sug
gestions.
I too would hate to see RPM go away. Count me in for $10 towards the fee.
That being said, change is always there luring us in. Shoot, I still don't
have a cell phone! LOL. I tried Facebook and well, see if you can find me
there now. Just was not worth my time. Then again, if RPM were there, ma
ybe I would be as well. Something to consider. I like this group and form
at. yet, I understand cost. What if we experiment with a social media acc
ount and format just to see how it goes for a while, and keep this group fo
r another year? That way we will know how feasible it is. Also we could s
imply ask for donations (keeping people posted as to when we have reached t
he goal) see what is given and go from there. If my math is correct, with
my 'pledge' we are already at the half way point. Are there 5 more people
out there that can spare 84 cents per month to keep RPM online for another
year? :-)))

Again, put me down for $10. And lets try a social media format as well jus
t for comparison.

Any other thoughts?
Thank again, Jim and Phyllis, for all you and others have done to keep this
forum viable and interesting!
