Re: From beta - Group Sponsorships

 

Leeni,


For free basic groups that don't have a fee attached to them, I think maybe the wording should be changed?Allow members to help support Group IO fees (in general)?because grandfathered groups, do not have any fees at this time associated with them.?

Good point. For Basic groups (grandfathered or not) the funds can support an upgrade to Premium as well as Groups.io generally.

Having it say fees for the group may start some kind of panic with the members and other groups owners who view it on my group's homepage.

Well, members won't see the checkbox wording (as that's in each group's Settings page), but looking at the green button on the home page they may wonder why this group needs sponsorship. Fortunately if they click the button the explanation there is a bit better:

So maybe that last sentence could be changed to "... and used by us to help cover the cost of providing this group." Or something like that to try and make it clear that it is Groups.io's costs (hosting fees) that are being paid. I imagine many users aren't really aware of the "man behind the curtain", and that he has to pay for the machinery back there.

Of course, any such change would need to be proposed on the .
