So, as the title suggest I have a fair number of groups that I'd ideally love to save the history of. However it appears that at US$110 (so rather more for this poor Australian) per group that's never going to happen.

It seems particularly unfair that in the face of this Armageddon I'd be staring bankruptcy in the face just because until the Yahoo announcement came down I'd never heard of groups.io (and thus completely missed the ability to conduct the shift for free). Is there any chance of groups.io having some sort of mercy here, even if if it's changing the basis of cost from per group to some sort of fair-go premium user account?

Highly unlikely.? This price setup has existed since February, so it wouldn't be fair to those that paid since then.? Before that it was only paid if you wanted more than 100,000 messages transferred.? And before that, everything was free.? You could always contact [email protected] to ask about it, but with all that's going on, it may take awhile to get an answer, if any.

To avoid the fee, you can create a new io group and do the "transfer" yourself,
inviting members to join or else just sending a message with instructions on how to join.
Users can ask to subscribe on the web site? /g/[yourgroupname]
or by sending an email to [yourgroupname][email protected]

If you could touch the alien sand and hear the cries of strange birds and watch them wheel in another sky, would that satisfy you?

It's the message archives that are my main concern.

At present, a paid transfer seems to be the only option to do that.? If the groups are related, you could consider making a parent group, then subgroups for the others.? (You could actually do this with totally unrelated groups, but it could be very confusing.)? You could transfer the parent group from one YG!, then transfer the other YG!s into subgroups under the same paid plan.??? The charge is for each parent group and isn't applied to any subgroups.? There are many things to consider when using subgroups.

As has been mentioned before, you could use one of the available methods to download the messages yourself, then create a PDF from that to load into the Files area.? Not a great option, but costs nothing.? The biggest concern would be how much space the file(s) would take toward the storage limit.
