Don,
Our YG transferred over to Groups.io recently, and members of the old
group have slowly coming over to the new group. When I look at the
Members list I notice about 60 percent have a current date of joining,
and the rest have join dates well before the date our site was
officially formed on Groups.io.
The members with recent dates likely joined your Groups.io group on their own. The members with older dates were copied in by the transfer agent.
These dates look like dates these people joined our old YG site,
That's correct.
thus making it very hard to know who actually joined our new site.
All the members shown in your Members list have. Or rather, the ones copied in didn't have to join, the transfer agent did that for them.
Along with that situation, I know all the members that came over were
not in the Pending page to be approved. What's going on here that I
need to know?
Members copied in by the transfer agent don't need to be approved. It is presumed that the fact they were members of the Y!Group is sufficient approval.
