SHOGI-L is moving to Google Groups from Topica.com

Here is the announcement.

SHOGI-L is moving

I think this transfer is good for the following reasons;

1. Google Groups allows registered members to post not only a text but also a file which means a diagram image, a photo of a tournament and so on can be distributed easily.
2. Various feeds are available to use.
3. You can enjoy stronger search function since it's a Google application.

Only negative point that I can think of immediately is that the archives are located in plural places which makes us more difficult to search the contents in the past. But overall, I think the transfer is a good decision.
