Re: Google groups? Re: Groups.io hosting?
So I have only been casually following the posts and don¡¯t have any insight on what individual members of the group are required to do in order to maintain connections.
?
Will the transfer automatically occur or do we have to actually do something with the link?? I sort of assumed that the moderators are handling it..
?
By the way, I am the proud owner of an early (73-74) citi car in unrestored condition.? One of these days soon I hope to get it at least parade worthy.

Hi Tom,
?
I guess there is one more step to allow groups.io to start transfer.
"We have accepted the invite to your group. If you have not already, make?[email protected]?a
moderator of your group. Once you have done that, tell us when you are ready to transfer your group."
BTW: If any of the current moderator wish to be a moderator on the groups.io forum, please have them contact me after they register so I can updated them to moderator status

Tom, if you'd read the fine print you'd have seen that for hobbyist
groups, the charge is $0 regardless of the volume of data.? The prices
on the landing page are for commercial customers.

I have no problems paying the $110 a year. But $2,200 would be hard to justify.
Groups.io solution is to start removing older posts/pictures once the limit has been reached. Read the fine print.? My memory's declining but I think that it said that enthusiast groups were free. John
I went ahead and ask for the transfer of the yahoo group to groups.io site. They said it would happen within the next 7 days once [email protected] has been made an authorized member.

I¡¯m sure there are some duplicate pictures in there - so the data size can be brought down by careful maintenance. I¡¯ll add that email to the group.? Tom Keenan

Re: Google groups? Re: Groups.io hosting?
Just one thing to be aware of - groups.io will likely be $2,200 a year for hosting. The pictures area of the present Yahoo group is probably more than 10gb, which is the break point for a relatively inexpensive hosting ($110/yr). ?Above 10gb for the group, including all text, files, pictures, etc. and we will need to pay the more expensive amount. ?Every year.
Once you identify how/who will pay, and the limit they will pay, let me know and I can add the groups.io to the list to make the transfer.?

I went ahead and signed up with 'groups.io' using?
Just need to solve this:
Make sure you have sent an invite to your group for the user?[email protected]. We will send you an email once we've received and accepted an invite. It may take up to a week for us to process the invite.

I?€?m one of the mods on the C-Car yahoo list, and found out today that all Yahoo groups apparently will be closed from accepting most content after October 21, 2019. Content will be permanently removed on December 14.
Hey guys.? I'm the other admin.? Even though Tom and I agree on little else, I believe we have succeeded in keeping this a tightly focused list just for C-cars so that people who like Citi cars but don't pray at the altar of the? Church of the EV. After much consideration, I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out of future efforts because of bad health.? In my near future is surgery for double knee replacement and a lung repair.? Plus, if we can pull it off, a move to a KY independent living facility.? Dang, how did I suddenly get old?? Social Security starts in December. I'll hang round the group whereever it lands (other than farcebook) so maybe I can occasionally contribute. It's been fun, guys'n'gals. John
