[Rhodes22-list] Looking for new home for Da List (and website)

Mon Feb 8 10:50:10 EST 2016

Thanks MJM, glad to hear you're still in touch since we will need to 
change the DNS at some point.

To all other responding on this thread:  I haven't begun to do anything 
yet.  Several brave souls have stepped forward.  Mike was first on the 
list, so I'll be in touch with him shortly to work out the details.

Peter brings up a good point that we could use a little redundancy in 
the management.  MJM has been there all along in the background and I'm 
sure would be able to support the list and website if I was unable too.  
But we'll always be dependent on the hosting provider as a single point 
of failure.  Not sure of the best solution for that, but we'll kick some 
ideas arond as we go thru this process and see if we can't come up with 
something.

Meanwhile, business (or pleasure) as usual!  Carry on...

Cheers!

>> I’m not sure who the author is of this last message, but it would seem that Mike on Long Island raised his hand first, and is in conversation with John Lock to transfer hosting.  Hopefully there’s some back-channel communication going on between them, because what’s been visible on the list isn’t nearly enough to get the job done.

On the bright side, since I mentioned the other day that the ‘rhodes22.org’ domain was going to expire in a few months, it has now been extended for another year.  It will now expire on April 6, 2017.   Thanks MJM (I assume), I’d be willing to kick in funds for a few more years.

>> If we lost the current arrangement, it would likely be a devastating blow to this community. Clearly, there are at least a few members who are not big fans of Facebook.  (Personally, I don’t dislike Facebook so much, I just can’t figure out how it works.)  Interestingly (to me at least), there are also Rhodes 22 groups on both Yahoo and Google.
