Moving to IOGroups

 

In order to move my list of 10,000+ members to io groups, the only way possible is to pay $110, right??

65 people have joined on their own but my concern is for the many people that read messages on the site that still don't know what is about to happen with YGroups shutting down the online portion. I have had the list since 2006 so I don't want to just wait and see what happens.

Thank you,
Susan
 

Susan, there has been quite a bit of discussion here about this. (Understatement!)?
See suggestions about the message archives.
And also about inviting members using Groups.io?
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Inviting-new-members

But I wanted to say that you could put a message on your YahooGroups saying that your site is moving.
Put in the new address.?
Before you do that, you might want to consider your setup on Groups.io.

Thank you. I already started the list and about 65 people have joined. My main deal is transferring people from one list to another before time runs out. If I didn't have 10,000+ members, I would not be as concerned.

I have heard $10 and $110. I feel like maybe Bruce or someone should send a repeat message out to go over stuff for new people just joining in.

I really appreciate the help.

I transferred the mailing address of 250+ yahoo list. Downloaded a csv file and opened it in Excel and copied the column? and then pasted it on the . You need a premium account to do it.

Susan -- 10,000 members is problematical, as has already been stated. This is because you cannot readily download them all using the Y!G web interface. You should, however, be able to access them using one of the tools that Shal has previously mentioned here.

I have heard $10 and $110.
Well, kinda.

It costs $110 for Premium Yearly. This is necessary if you want the groups.io transfer agent to move your Yahoo group for you, which includes most group content (except for calendar entries and message attachments).

If all you're interested in doing is moving your subscribers, and you can get a complete list of them, then $10 is the cost for Premium Monthly. This allows you to Direct Add (shanghai) all those members into your group, without using the invitation system. This is a significant convenience factor.

If your group is small (<1GB of storage), and you want to do it all on the cheap, and you have a lot of time on your hands, and you can get a complete list of members somehow, and are willing to transfer all your other content manually -- then you can create a group under the Basic plan, invite the members using the list you downloaded, and upload all the content manually. See also?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19293?for more information on how to do the uploads.

Okay, I've done that. But to be a little blunt, I've sent 70 (yes, 70) messages over the past three days, covering virtually every aspect of this process. It strikes me as reasonable that folks coming in late spend just a little time?using the message archive search engine or scanning the GMF wiki. Most of the information is already there, if people would just take a minute to look for it.

Hope this helps,
Bruce?
 

Thank you thank you thank you!!

And I apologize for the repeated questions but I deal with the list alone and have no help as far as admin stuff. I promise I will do my best to read Shal's messages. I want to take care of my 10,000+ members. They too are asking me lots of questions so my inbox is floating. LOL

So appreciate all your help.

Susan
