I agree with Jim on UnMetHours, but I will have to engage with it more. I would also say that you may have the 69 dedicated member responses. Since the beginning of time there
may be 5100 members, but I suspect many have fallen by the way side over the years…

I'm (still) inclined to have a common place for modelers to share information and learn from each other. UnMetHours does that pretty well, so I don't think
there needs to be a separate place. I like the fact that UMH has questions from people using several platforms. To some extent it clutters my inbox, but it also helps me measure the pulse of what other modelers are wrestling with, no matter the platform.

… no human being can long remain pleasureless and sad .. those who cannot enjoy spiritual pleasures turn their endeavors for the most part to bodily pleasures.
.. to the extent that people don’t know how to find delight in the world as it is, they often – in their despair – attempt to manufacture enjoyable feelings by manipulating their own faculties.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Yahoo Groups is shutting down
Jean and other EnergyPlus_Support members,
Since the end of last year when Yahoo Groups announced reducing the features in their mailing lists (removing archives and making it more difficult to subscribe) we have been considering various options,
none of them ideal.. I put together a survey in January with the results showed below:
To be honest, the low number of people that responded (69 of 5100) made it difficult to feel like the results were a consensus of the group. Now Yahoo Groups is completely shutting down all of their groups including this one on December
15 and a decision needs to be made. I have been considering many options but the following two are my recommendations:
-
Create a new energyplus_support mailing list on onebuilding.org like bldg-sim and equest-users and other mailing lists (I'm familiar with this since I administer those other lists) and move the archive there.
-
Setting up a new Discourse forum (see
https://www.discourse.org/ and https://meta.discourse.org/) which can be used as both an online forum and a mailing list (you can get notifications and reply by email) and move the archive to
https://www.mail-archive.com/
Any opinions on this?
Should we have another survey?
I know there are a lot of other options also. I welcome a discussion on this.
Jason

Hi Team,
Yahoo Groups is shutting down! To which website will the Forum migrate to?
We’re shutting down the Yahoo Groups website on December 15, 2020 and members will no longer be able to send or receive emails from Yahoo Groups. Yahoo Mail features will continue to function as expected and there will be no changes to your Yahoo Mail account, emails, photos or other inbox content. There will also be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services. You can find more information about the Yahoo Groups shutdown and alternative service options on this help page.
Best regards,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
