Should I close the cli_dev (altnetconf) Yahoo group?

I have set up a poll on the cli_dev yahoo group here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/cli_dev/surveys?id=2005679
I feel an obligation to follow up on this issue since I am the group owner on record with Yahoo.
Here is a message I sent to the group just in case you no longer track the list formerly known as “altnetconf”:
=================================================
Guys,
I am the yahoo owner of this list. I originally grabbed it so that
we’d have a place for discussion after the October AltNetConf. I
deferred to David Laribee and Scott Bellware when it came to leading
and fostering the Alt.Net community.
It appears now that there are other lists where the Alt.Net dialog is
occurring.
I have created a poll:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/cli_dev/surveys?id=2005679
Please let me know opinions. It seems that spammers are auto-creating
accounts, and the relevant discussion here is very sparse.
If the poll results in a “yes” answer, I’ll take down this list.
==================================================
I believe that it’s possible to shut down the list while keeping the history searchable, but that’s another decision to be made: Keep the history or trash it?
If possible we need to keep the history, there is great content on the list that should be kept for future needs.
+1 keeping history.
+1 Keeping history.
Close it, keep the history.
Funny you ask, considering nobody deemed it necessary to consult the plebs when changing the name of the group.
I’d vote the same: close it but keep the history… Sorry I’m late to this poll.
So what’s the verdict here? The poll is still open.
thank you ı like this post.great point.
