Re: From beta: Subscribers leaving before pricing change #pricing

But you were? also not telling the whole truth.? The price changes are also for lists upgrading after Jan18th (now Feb 2nd).

This also includes new lists that had to upgrade to Premium to have their list moved, they may not be able to downgrade to a Basic (Free) list after the Pricing change.

The impact on new groups is minimal, the number of lists that do not meet the new guidelines for fee per member pricing is far, far greater.


For now some feel they are grandfathered into free service for Enterprise size lists that will cost $4400 a year if UPGRADED after Feb 2nd.

Those of us with Basic (Free) list will not have to upgrade on Feb 2nd.? It's a fact of life that grandfathers expire and so do grandfathered provisions.

I asked for a reply on how long it would be until lists larger than 100 members would have to upgrade.? I figured with 2,000 members I would have three years of

freebie service and then I could face a forced upgrade to Enterprise at $4400 a year.? It would be cheaper to upgrade now.? I have seen nothing stating a firm commitment to

pre-existing basic lists remaining free forever, or even for the next three years.? Mark evidently feels that a fee per member pricing is the future for groups.io, he delayed it a year

and now it will be happening, first for new groups and list upgrades, and then, later, for the rest of the pre-existing lists.? I've had lifetime memberships expire, and grandfather?

agreements pass away; with a Basic (free) list there are no contractual obligations.


The real issue is preparing for a list upgrade if your list does not fall into the new list definitions in the new pricing plan.? Once you have become a list owner on groups.io, you aren't

worried about new lists, only when and at what cost you may have to upgrade in the future.? Mark gave us some pretty severe pricing changes based on member fees and indicated that

was his planned future pricing schedule.? He never said that large free lists would be free forever.? AS an owner of?several large?Basic lists I have a decision, upgrade now (before Feb)

or upgrade later, even if grandfathered for free for three more years, it is still cheaper to upgrade now.

I didn't let it go unaddressed.
?
I did write to her and more or less gave her a piece of my mind letting her know that she had no business writing what she wrote to my group, alarming them causing havoc?with the members?and other group's members and owners?she had said the same thing to. I did let her know she wasn't speaking the truth and it what she had said didn't concern my members or her. I told her what?she had left out,?that it was only for new groups starting up after January 18th. Her rumor spread like a wildfire.
I never got a response from her. I take that as her being embarrassed.
?
She had left all of my groups and other groups that I was in as well.
?
Now I understand she joined some of the other groups again, but has not joined my group.
I wasn't going to let her in if she tried, but I did chuckle when I read your statement, let her in and a week later remove and ban her LOL. I liked that idea!!!
