Re: Is groups.io really unsuitable for my needs?


 

Gaute --

Subscribers are not forced to create a groups.io account, with associated login credentials or anything like that. Their email address IS their "account." This has both benefits and a few downsides.

There is also no ability to completely disable subscriber web access to the group message archive, as one could do in Y!G. We have had a few people who didn't want groups.io to save the messages, only to relay them. As a group settings option this idea hasn't [yet] gotten any traction.

So...groups.io can function as mail-only (similar to Mailman or a listserv) if that's what a subscriber wants.?I'd estimate that about 3/4ths of the people in my primary group interact exclusively via email and seem entirely content with groups.io. I believe they're missing out on a few things that way but it's entirely their choice.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
