Now it's time to renew our plan. Premium pricing is now $20 a month.Don't fret, it's $20 for groups formed after last October when the price went up, but it's still $110 yearly for your groups because they were created before that date and therefore grandfathered-in with that price. So it will be $220 total for the two groups you created back then; or $240 ($10 a month each if you go that route) if you switch to monthly. If you downgrade and then re-upgrade again it will switch to the $220/$20 price. Cheers, Christos

Just wondering whether Mark and team have considered a cheap-but-not-free model?As long as you stay on the Annual plan, it will remain at $110/yr. It's when you switch to monthly payments (or free) that things change. This seems to be a bit confusing to many, including me, because of the changes that Mark has made.

Anguishing about renewal
#pricing
My ex-Yahoo group, a tight-knit community of about 200 alumni from a small government agency, made the move to Groups.io last fall.
We were really lucky! We paid $110 for a premium membership; the price doubled just a few days later; some groups paid a premium on top of that to transfer their content; we didn't, we patiently waited our place in the queue, and eventually the transfer (10 years' archives) happened seamlessly. For that, we're really grateful. Now it's time to renew our plan. Premium pricing is now $20 a month. We're a very plain-vanilla group, don't need a lot of storage or add-ons, and I'm reluctantly opting to switch to the free plan. (I pay out of my pocket. I could certainly afford $110, and last year I just told members who politely asked about cost to contribute to our group's "adopted" charity instead of reimbursing me. $240 is...well, more than twice as much.) I feel bad about that. It costs money to host this platform, and I don't like to free-ride. Just wondering whether Mark and team have considered a cheap-but-not-free model?

Re: How to convert email messages to mboxrd format to upload to Groups.io?

Hi Duane

PROBLEM: Setting Posting Privileges for Announce-Only Group
Subject: Setting up a public announcement group, with just a few “Announcers" PROBLEM: I can't seem to find the right combination of settings to do this. I want to set my public announcement group so that ANYBODY can join to just RECEIVE messages (with no posting privileges), but only a FEW designated “Announcers” have privileges to SEND messages. ============= WHAT I DID: ============= * In the Group's Settings > Spam Control area:
~~~~~~ * Then, for one of the members for whom I wanted to give Announcers privileges:
PROBLEM: But when I tried to send a message using that Announcer's email address, it was REJECTED with the message "This is an announcement group and you do not have permission to post to it.". QUESTION 1: There does not seem to be any combination of settings available, to have a just few Announcers, and many “receive only" members ???
QUESTION 2: Am I missing something obvious ?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MORE FYI COMMENTS: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the previous Yahoo group (pre Verizon disaster), I recall just simply setting the Yahoo group to "Announcement Only", and then changing the few designated Announcers to "Override, this member is not moderated” -- and that worked fine. (The previous Yahoo group was https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/railnet , and the new group is https://groups.io/g/railnet .) |-------------------------------------------------- | Thanks. - James Ingram, http://JamesIngram.net | Williamsport PA, Apache Junction AZ |--------------------------------------------------

Re: Fw: Announcing the Shut Down of Yahoo Groups
Sandy Kozinn
I'm a moderator. I got the information here, then went to my group page and saw the notice there. No email to me.
I immediately wrote the existing membership, telling them where to move. They will or they won't. I will now remove their shortcut from my computer. The end. It was great when it was great, and then it became a horror. Sandy
