In December 2004 many of the members of this group did move to a newly
created spam-free group, with active moderators. It is at the same place as
this one but called [Nik5700] rather than [Nikon5700].
It should be noted, however, that that group is not very 5700-centric
anymore; people there are mainly interested in picture-taking, no matter
what brand of camera they own. Many of the members there have moved on to
other camera models. A nice 'feature' of that group is that they suggest
one or two topics per month to take pictures of, and people are encouraged
to post their results.
And as Larry points out, there are other Coolpix-related Yahoo groups,
including [Coolpix_8MP], [Coolpix5700], [Coolpix8700], [Coolpix8700g],
[CoolpixPhotoMicroMacro], [n5700tech], [NikonCoolpix], [NikonCoolpix2], etc.
... but with varying degrees of activity, and some with poor moderation and
frequent spam.
I set up my own email filters on my incoming email that blocks about 98% of
the spam that you guys are seeing. Most of the spam here comes from a small
handful of addresses and this makes blocking it easier.
