Different answers may be right for different groups.? I own several book groups and associated groups that have operated on Yahoo for a long time.? I am moving one of the groups but I am not going to transfer all of the members or all of the old messages.
One of these groups has been inactive for some time and I am not going to do anything with it.? It can sit on yahoo or die.? The other group has about 10 active members out of 700 members in the group.? It also has messages related to discussions going back to 1996.? This group existed on another list serve before that -- the original messages were not migrated to Yahoo when the group moved there and I have made the decision not migrate messages from the Yahoo group to Groups.io.? I sent out a special message to the members that says that as of Feb 1, discussion will be held in a new group in Groups.io, have changed the cover page of the group to point to the new group and set up a Facebook page for the group with information about the move. ?
