For the most part putting the low volume
archives into files won't be too challenging but I though I'd
check first to see if there is a way of "combining" the
archived messages into the main group's archives which would
be so much cleaner (from the user viewpoint).
There's no built-in way of doing this, but you can set the subgroup
Settings->Privacy->Visibility setting to
Group listed in
parent group, messages viewable by parent group members, so
this way any main group member can just visit the subgroup and
peruse/search/etc that subgroup as normally.? You also set the
subgroup to Announcement-only so its archives are "frozen" in time.?
That'd be the least amount of work for the mods.
In this case, when one is perusing the main group and want to peruse
a subgroup, they can right-click on "Subgroups" on the left menu
links and open in a new tab, so this way they can explore the
subgroup in a separate screen without affecting what they were doing
or where they were in the main group.
If you have a paid group, you may be able to get Groups.io to move
the message archives into the main group's message archives for a
fee, that has happened in the past but I don't know how much it was.
