Groups.io

Our first year on groups.io will end on 10/24.  As planned I have downgraded the group to free to avoid the $220/yr.  fee.  Here are the changes this will entail:
  • The storage allocation goes from 20 GB to 1 GB.
  • Any subgroups are locked.
    Exception: If your group was created before January 15, 2020, subgroups will remain accessible because Basic groups created before that date were able to have subgroups. (This applies to Basic groups created before January 15, 2020 that were upgraded either before or after that date as well as to Premium groups created before that date.)
  • All features become unavailable except those related to sending and managing messages. However, nothing is deleted in case you decide to upgrade again in the future.
    Exception: If your group was created before August 24, 2020, the downgraded Basic group will retain the calendar, chat, database, member directory, files, photos, poll, and wiki features.  (Empasis added)
Apparently, groups.io wants to dissuade those who are in the free group to move to the premium version.

To those who helped fund the first year to keep the group alive, after we left Yahoo, I extend my grateful thanks.

Correction:  Apparently, groups.io wants to persuade those who are in the free group to move to the premium version.

After Paige's email I wondered what we still had on our group site. Was of course worried for a bit until I realised that I needed to sign in. Sigh. It looks like it is all there.

On another note I've wondered for a while. Does anyone ever think that we should add something to the Wiki feature, and if so what? (Not sure how we'd add pages, possibly an admin would have to do that)

And thanks Paige for all the work of transfering and downgrading. 

Cheers,
Darcie
