Re: Acceptance time frame for [email protected] account
#transfer
I purchased a Premium Plan, requested a transfer from Yahoo Groups, and invited [email protected] about 9:00am ET this morning.
I received an email from groups.io to make [email protected]?a YG moderator at 6:44pm this evening. I did so and gave the transfer go ahead. So, almost 10 hours from invite to transfer go ahead. |

Latest info on pricing structure
#announcement
#pricing
Hi
A repost of an article that was sent out earlier this evening. People still haven't seen it. Hi All,
?
Sometimes I reflect on my youth, and harken back to that simpler time, that quieter time. You know, seven days ago.
?
I appreciate all the feedback, and I mean ALL of it. My intention with the pricing change is solely to set up the business for long term success and to help offset the very large increase in my costs over just this past week.
?
I realize it was a mistake to talk about future changes to the pricing structure without actually, you know, knowing what those changes might (or might not) be. As part of that, it was a mistake to change the definition of a free group right now. I've rolled back that change; new free groups do not have limits on the number of subscribers and subgroups. Hopefully this will address Harm Selling's concern, among others. Also, this means that any groups that wish to move over but cannot afford the transfer fee can still take advantage of a free group's invite feature.
?
I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
?
Thanks,
Mark

Re: Notice of Pricing Change
Protection laws from what?? From Yahoo closing a service?? From Groups.io raising fees?? We live and operate in a capitalist society.? Businesses need money to stay in business, and cutting costs is a way to save money.? I bet that yahoo has heaps of data on the whole of their yahoo groups and I bet it shows that a very large percentage of the groups are totally dead, just eating up server space for no reason.? I would wager that 90% of all of the files/photos on all of the yahoo groups have not been opened/viewed/downloaded at all in several years.? I'm on a dozen Y!Gs and they were all VERY active 15 years ago.? Lots of files being uploaded, photos shared, dozens of emails every day.? Those very same groups today have nothing new being shared and possibly about one email per month on average.
?
As for your absentee owner, is the owner dead, or just not checking the emails from their old yahoo group?? If the owner is dead, you're out of luck.? If not, I suggest you search for that person on the internet.? Use their name, display name, and interests to narrow down your search.? Maybe you'll be able to find an active email address or even phone number for them.? Don't rely on the groupname-owner@ email address to reach them
If you have their old email address, try sending to new email addresses with the same username and different domains.? For example if the person was Thea Johnson and their old email address was tjohnson25@..., try tjohnson25@... or thea.johnson@....? It's a huge long-shot, but it probably won't take more than 15-30 minutes and you might get lucky.

When to make Welcome message active
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýWhen you write your welcome message letting members know about your transferring them to ?and you paste it into the box in the admin section of your new group and you make it ¡°active¡± does it go out immediately or does the site send it out after it realizes the transfer is complete. We are writing one but unsure when to make it ¡°active.¡± We don¡¯t want members coming over and roaming around a forum that we aren¡¯t finished setting up the way we like it.Is there any other message??emails to members after a transfer?

"As a result of the transfer process, you are already registered at??but youhave no password saved and cannot access some Group features." ?
To the best of my knowledge, that's not actually true Larry.? A member of a group on GIO does not need to set a password, as long as they have access to the email account they are subscribed as a member with.? If a member clicks on the "View/Reply Online" link at the bottom of any message they will be able to find a link to email a link to login.? A member can do that every time.? Clicking on that link in their email will allow them to gain access to the entire site just the same as if they used a username and password.

When I requested 2 transfers today, each one had a notation that acceptance could take up to a week.

They are not a particularly good fit for storing several unrelated groups in a single location; and when used in this manner (e.g.: in an attempt to avoid/circumvent upgrades to Premium), may cause problems with subscription management later.
