For those that are getting the YahooGroups Email's ( ..or Spam )
For those of you that don't know, Charles has restarted the aspfriends list at YahooGroups!. If you've signed up for an aspfriends list, more then likely you'll get an email saying you've been signed up for the same list on Yahoo. This has raised a few eyebrows on ASPAdvice's coffeehouse list. Claiming he has gotten a 99% retention rate for the new lists.
"And we are not shooting yourself in the foot; if you or anyone believed transferring the members from Lyris list to YahooGroup that does the exact same thing is abuse => of course you should report it to Yahoo <=
But with 99% retention rate there just ain't that may people complaining though I understand the 1% want to do so real loud to ensure me and the AspElite cannot support the community in a forum that is not covertly funded by Microsoft (as aspadvice is). Most are happy to be helped again in the same community with 99% of the same people (- a few Elite who resigned or I removed) instead of one where 20% of the people found their way too and another 20% found because ASP.net put it on top left to guarantee the cash they poured into Alliance/Advice (buying servers, Lyris, etc.) assured it was effective at gathering people there."
It just seems to me that he's a little bitter about all this, and I still don't know why aspfriends disappeared in the first place. If anyone can enlighten me that would be cool.
