The forum hoster "Yahoo Groups" is shutting down, so all their contents will be DELETED in december 2019. This will also affect many classic Casio keyboard forums with service manuals etc., including casiocollectors (VERY important tech info & files) digitalhorns CZseries CZsynth Please make backups NOW. Grab what you can and run! (Photos can not be directly downloaded with rightclicking in Firefox, so access them in the media(?) tab of page info.) AFAIK Yahoo Groups will be replaced by a push mail service, because the company proclaims that modern users "want" that so. But IMO the real problem is that many classic forums lost their moderator and so got flooded with thousands of spam posting (typically p0rn). Although most spams are in the photos and files sections, each of them caused a text posting "A new file has been uploaded...", making also the discussion forum unusable, because these messages on top can be only skipped by scrolling down a dozen pages, which deters all new users and so dooms these forums to die. And instead of automatically removing only that spam (which can be easily done now by AI due to their repetative nature), Yahoo tended to erase the entire forum if anybody dared to complain there about spam. This pi55ed off all new serious users, so Yahoo Groups made no profit anymore and decided to shutdown everything. The kill of Yahoo Groups will become a black day for the internet - a culturocide exterminating over a decade of collected precious public knowledge in the name of moneymaking. :.( R.I.P.
