Nabble or Yahoo?

[Joe Hardy]

What do you think....

Since starting the Nabble VTPO forum, membership has reached about three dozen.  The Yahoo group lists 204 members.  It may be that having two competing groups is a detriment.  Posts at Yahoo are way down from historic levels.  Our survey indicated a slight majority prefer Nabble.  Would we be better off to kill Nabble and go back to Yahoo?  Please comment.

Hi Joe,

 

If any of the others are having the email PC problems I have had, the posts are down because of PC failure. I've had to format this HD twice this year already. I've disengaged Facebook and not reading mail from seven sources to eliminate problems. Having just finished a re-install of everything, this PC is real fast now. Also using CA full featured as protection.

 

Anyway I don't think the lack of posting has much to do with "where", rather more to do with "what". What to post is given lots of consideration. Can I post something as good as this one or that one. For example, I cannot play my VTPO like you do or like Robert Kingdom. Each of us has different reasons, training, motive, style and so forth.

In summary, I think both venues for messages are fine. You worked hard to get both rolling and eliminating one or the other wouldn't solve anything.

 

PS One of our own, Paul Jacyk has posted a Youtube video that shows outstanding talent in many areas, not the least of which is great TPO musicianship. See Paul's snappy Rumba at:

I prefer Yahoo.

 

It conforms to 'standard' posting methods where Nabble does not.

Yahoo also let's me store as part of my friends list (and blacklist) in Mailwasher, so I can see straight away if messages are genuine or not. Nabble totally screws this facility.

Yahoo (mostly) lets me get to music files without much hassle, Nabble has been giving me grief and I had to resort to their website to download. :-)

 

A pox on Nabble until they get their act together.

Regards,
 
Alan.

While I don't like Yahoo for many reasons, it's also a problem to go between 2 somewhat parallel forums. It seems many Yahoo forum members either don't know about Nabble (which I feel is the better of the 2) or don't want to do whatever to change over to it. And there are some folks that only frequent this type forum or rare occasions or when they need help. It doesn't seem possible to cross reference between the 2 either so, bottom line, I would forego my dislike of Yahoo to find all replies and posts on one forum vs having the 2. Just my 2 cents.

 

Rgds,

Ed

I'd rather use the Yahoo forum.  I get emails from Nabble but it uses a top secret email address.  If the poster doesn't sign his post, the only way to see who sent it is to go to the forum.

Many thanks for your feedback.  Nearly unanimously, we favor the Yahoo forum, so I urge all members of this group to begin posting once again on the Yahoo VTPO forum instead of Nabble.  Once the dust settles, I will put the Nabble group to sleep.

Hi, Joe,

             For my money, yes!...

   But then I was one of the minority who voted against the change in the first place, boring old stick-in-the-mud that I am! 


       Have fun,

            Roy.

Will it be painless euthanasia?   


    Seriously though, Joe, the difference between the recent posts and the original vote is: NOW people have actually tried both, and know what they are voting for.

   It's much the same situation as I had in electronic development. At the start of a project, there are several ways you can go. Economics dictate that you can't fully develop all of them, so you make a few preliminary tests, then choose your path. The trouble is, by the time you reach the end of the project, you know all the snags that cropped up doing that way, and none of those that MIGHT have if you'd gone some other way, so you always come away feeling that you made the worst possible choice!


     Have fun,

          Roy.

I have posts direct to my Thunderbird email, and have no problem with
either. For a few reasons I don't like Yahoo all that much. But Nabble
might not be perfect either! No preference either way I suppose, I'll go
with what's the most preferred option and live with it.

Hopefully the Nabble VTPO content can remain online or archived for search and viewing? There was some good stuff here.

Also thanks Don for mentioning my Dengozo video.  It was pretty fun to make on the big Wurlitzer.
I'm experimenting with a new camera.  There is a HD version at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqwnkSFzXW4&fmt=22

I should make a video of my Hauptwerk stuff if I ever get my keyboards re-connected again.

To me it doesn't matter, the main thing is that the VTPO keeps going in some form.  Even though I don't have a lot to contribute to the subject I would hate to lose contact with all the folk here.

 

I have all the Nabble emails set to come through Outlook Express and I have found that when responding using OE that I will not see it (like this email) unless I log on to the Nabble forum or unless someone comments on what I have said.  Logging on to a web site is just not as convenient for me but it's not a real problem either.

 

On the other hand, I have all my mail set to HTML and when responding to a Yahoo post, I have to clean up and get rid of all the Yahoo advertising which really gets on my goat, but that's just me.

 

Whatever is decided, I'll go along with that.

Do whatever is the most practical for you and whatever the group as a whole wants.

 

Fergie

Actually, the best method IMHO is a listmail server, like Piporg-L or others.  But, that is usually not free and must be "managed" by someone.  That said, I have to side with the Yahoo voters.  It isn't great, but it is the lesser of two evils....
