Welcome all.? I know things will be really slow at first going from over 13k members to just starting again, but please give it time.
All suggestions are welcome, this is YOUR group and we are going to allow some things the old group didn't like more places
for your photos, more control of the way you get the messages and much more.

Pardon the growing pains, I just added a new Moderator to help out and still trying to get the group
settings under control.? :>? This is a lot different than Yahoo so if you have any problems or thoughts
please feel free to give them.

Thank you Rich. It always such a challenge with new procedures. Thank you for keeping the group going and taking the effort to completely transfer to a new platform?

In case you didn't already know, new members here are moderated by default and need to have their status changed as required. It's easiest to do this when they first post a message.

We are not using the bulk invite as Yahoo had so many trolls and spam accounts. ?Also why things are moderated right now. ?We only want the real people to join.

Got it - makes sense. ?All my groups are moderated so I get it. ? Io has hashtags too which can be useful if you want to categorize posts ...?

It makes sense to only have
real people subscribing
I look forward to seeing how
the new arrangements work out.

Hashtags is a way to organize the group so that members can easily search #iphone11 and find all convo related to that model.... It can be applied to category you can think of ... The moderator/owner of this group can set up hashtags or let members use what they want -- which isn't conducive to keeping the list organized.??

But it also helps if everyone uses sensible topic names/subject lines.

Makes sense. Keeping out the trolls is always a good thing.?

The other group had almost 14,000 members and maybe 25 ever posted.? We are already at 100 members
and each one had to come and join themselves so while not a large number, if the 25 main people join, we
will be back to normal with 100-200 or so real members.

Rich, Dave Kelly used the bulk invitation, and we still had to go though the moderation stage.

Quality over quantity, any day.?
I'm sure there were many lurkers, many who did not feel they could contribute. It might also be good to thin the ranks of inactive email accounts. A lot of the lurkers are those that only come to the groups, what are not heavy users, and only look when they have a problem, instead of skimming the post and learning ahead of time. Just like face to face groups, sports, hobby or social. There are the doers and those that are just along for the ride.

I'm mostly a lurker, contribute occasionally. But I get all the emails and read them and have found some answers to questions I've had without having to post the question. The 3G was my first iPhone so I've been around here for 10+ years even if my presence isn't seen often. Thanks for all the feedback I can learn from.
