• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

I'm dating myself. Is this what Yahoo Groups eventually became or somewhat morphed into? I recognize some similar looking groups I used to hang out back in the day. Some look active, some rather dead.
BTW I noticed some like these, specific lathe model orientated

AIUI, when Yahoo Groups was being shut down, each group had to decide if and where they would continue. Groups.io was the easiest choice to migrate to and quite a few chose that route.

I am definantly not going to mention participating in rec.crafts.metalworking (rcm) in the early 1990s .... oops.

Those old usenet news groups were pretty interesting although the content often degenerated into crude chaos. But there were many gems, including Scott Logan in rcm, he was an amazing resource for Logan lathe information and would sometimes help out with parts that were stashed away in their facility somewhere.

The evolution of web forums has resulted in some great places like this one, so pleased to have found it. Thanks to our Calgary founders !
