Hi Barbara
Yahoo groups shuts on December 15
Everyone in the group, including you, will be able to use the group email
until then.
Cheers
Chris

Thanks Chris. As the TKF website is currently being re-vamped anyway I can
look into the feasibility of including this facility at the same time. How
long will this email address remain available for me to reach out for help
if I need to?
TKF started in 2000 as the Systemic Solutions Bulletin edited by Barbara
Stones and Jutta ten Herkel and I was helping out as deputy editor for some
of that time. I officially took over in 2004 so we have a similar
timespan!!
I’ll be in touch again soon
Warmly
Barbara

Thank you everyone for all the validation. I have to say I enjoy it and it
has made me reminisce about various Constellation Talk interactions.
We have indeed had some rich discussions over the years - as well as some
entertaining banter.
I realised that I have understated how long it has been going.
CT actually started around 2002. So it has been going for 18 years.
There has been a massive amount of email exchange in that time. I have
7412 emails in my Gmail folder. I also have zipped files of the
conversations downloaded from Yahoo Groups on December 23, 2019.. That is
when they shut down their archives. I must warn you they are difficult to
make sense of. If I could figure a way to make the emails from my
Gmail folder accessible via dropbox or google drive or something like that
I would be glad to do so.
Some people have communicated privately and some people in this forum
about their offers of help or suggestions re moving forward. I think it
would be best to keep the process transparent on this forum. This is a big
change to how we have traditionally used this forum but this is a very
special circumstance.
To make sure that we don't miss the boat, I will make some executive
decisions. However even after I make a decision, I will still be open to
change if someone has a useful suggestion.
At this point, I would like to take Barbara Morgan's offer to archive the
emails on The Knowing Field website. It feels like an appropriate place to
me. I expect Barbara could use some help with the technological side of
this. Hopefully, you will be able to do it in a way that they would be
reasonably easily accessible where people could search them for themes such
as "phenomenology". Barbara, please feel free to use this forum to reach
out for any help that you need. Some of you will notice that I have now
mentioned tow possibilities in regard to archiving the emails from CT. For
the moment I think it would be valuable to explore both options..
Regarding setting up another group below is the information supplied by
Yahoo. Anyone who wants to run with that is welcome. I have just exported a
list of the member's emails to a CSV file. I will only pass this on if
someone has successfully set up a group on another platform. If anyone
wants their email removed from this file, please let me know.
*Yahoo Information*
Although we do not have any official partnerships with any of the
following groups' sites, we feel that the least we can do for our loyal
customers is to recommend some reliable sites for our users to continue
having group communications. These sites are simple and easy to use.
The site we recommend the most is Nextdoor, as it has a help page
advising how to switch your Yahoo Groups to their site
<https://help.nextdoor.com/s/article/How-to-switch-your-Yahoo-group-to-a-Nextdoor-group?language=en_US>
!
- *Nextdoor
<https://help.nextdoor.com/s/article/How-to-create-a-group?language=en_US>* -
Use any email account to sign up
- *Facebook Groups <https://www.facebook.com/groups/>* - Requires a
Facebook account
- *Google Groups <https://groups.google.com/>* - The admin of the
group must have a Gmail account
- *Groups.io <https://groups.io/>* - The paid version allows for
importing members from Yahoo Group

Hi Chris
You and I have run parallel paths for some time now and I have loved how
our two international networks have run parallel with great mutual
co-operation amidst at times some very controversial issues!!
As a gesture of gratitude for all your hard work I would be willing to
add to the Knowing Field website the archive collection of emails. I
haven’t had chance yet to read the stream of responses so it could be
someone else has offered an alternative. Let me know if you’re interested
in such an idea.
Many thanks for your excellent moderating over the years and I wish you
well moving forward from here.
Warmly
Barbara

I understand, the march of time and the configurations of
technology..change so fast these days.
Thanks for your quality moderation over the years, and your support of
the constellation community. Constellation Talk is the only online group I
have stayed with - its been so valuable, with great input and discussions
from everyone. It has remained free of negativity, which is highly unusual
for such groups, and reflects both the maturity of the participants, and
the steady moderation in the background.

Hi everyone
As you are probably aware I founded Constellation Talk in 2008 and the
conversation was quite vigorous for many years. It's been a blast!
.
Since the development of social media, like Facebook, constellation talk
has progressively become less active. This shared experience of Yahoo
groups is precisely why Yahoo Groups is shutting down. I personally think
it is time to accept that Constellation Talk has done its time. For me, it
is time to let it go rather than try to recreate it on another platform. Of
course, if someone else wants to set something else up they are welcome to
do so
If anyone wants to use the last 6-7 weeks of Constellation Talk to
organise the setting up of something else up they are welcome to do so.
Alo Yahoo stopped making the archive available some time ago.
I have collected all the emails in a folder on my computer but I am not
sure what to do with them. If anyone wants to make an archive to share I am
happy for them to do that also
Finally, I would like to thank all the participants for a great ride over
the years with all the shared experiences and learnings. The mutual support
has been fantastic. Even the arguments have been valuable learning
esperiences.
So thank you everyone
Stay well
and
Go well
Hasta la vista (my old sign out)
Chris Walsh
