I have a non-profit community discussion board on YAHOO.? I'm a bit confused when I read the postings.? Some say it's $110 to have the Easy Transfer done by groups.io and others say I have to join the Enterprise for $2200 for the year which is impossible.

Is there a way to stay on free plan and pay a simple flat fee to have my group transferred?

It is also nonsense.

No. You do have to pay for Premium Yearly ($110), but you can downgrade afterward.

As of now (Oct. 2019), premium membership costs $220 for a year. Transferring from Yahoo Groups to groups.io apparently would require that I pay for a year of premium membership. I see in this thread (and elsewhere) that I can downgrade to basic after the transfer, but will I be able to do so after just a month and receive a refund for the balance of the year ($200)? Or will I have to eat the cost of a full year of other services that I don't need (or can live without) before downgrading?

Yes, after the year is up. (no refunds)? The other option is to try to move the group yourself.? Depending on how large the group is and how much information needs to be moved, you might find it a bargain.

So my President is concerned about the new additional Cost. Where are the “Terms of Service” that this years cost is $200 and what next years cost is?

From my Club President

Seems a bit sketchy If it was originally $100. My thoughts are they should stick to that and not come up with an excuse to change it midstream.?

Who’s to say we give $200 then a week later they want $300 etc. ?

I/we need to know the terms of the services they are offering, with all the details listed. I understand why we are moving away from Yahoo but this is an expense to ISC and many are not members. ?

Thanks, Jody Jones President ISC

Actually, they used to transfer groups for free.? I understand the need to charge up front for the huge influx of groups now that Yahoo is shutting down.? While the $110 cost seemed a bit high, I was willing to contribute the cost for one of the groups I am a member of in order to assure the groups survival.? But now a doubling of that fee just seems like profiteering.? If you look at the costs of hosting groups like these it is very, very minimal.? 10 GB of storage costs next to nothing (flash storage is around $0.10 per GB and rotating media is even less).? Shared costs on a server are similarly low for the sort of tasks required to run groups like this.?

I suppose the cost is in the conversion.? That might take a bit of human time while most of it is automated.? More likely the real cost is just having to ramp up there systems and the personnel time to make that happen.? Still, $220 per account????

It just doesn't feel good to use groups.io anymore.

[Mod note:? Actual cost for Premium Yearly is $220 per primary group, not per account.]
