If you haven¡¯t seen the discussion yet there is one IO issue you need to know to know about and accept before transferring. Any IO posting that gets put into a member spam folder whether with or without their knowledge WILL result in them being un-subscribed. They then have to find and correct the IO spam status to regain uninterrupted membership. It is a pain in the buns for the owner/moderator.

My group is only 800 but 50 of them initially were booted and even now after a month in IO 39 are still in this loop. We are parents of children declining with a terminal disorder so this disconnect for 39 parents is killing me. I may well not have transferred if I knew of this before transferring. YahooGroups just ignores it because they are big enough no other internet identities will block them; not so IO, they say they need to have a good spam record or be blocked by too many entities.

Search the GMF archive; there are dozens of postings pro and con on this issue.

Good luck in your decision.

I'm involved with a large group, about to make the transfer from Yahoo to Groups.io, and we have questions.? I am naive at this.? I have much to learn about groups.io, and never enough time.

By "large", I mean these:
?- Number of group Members
?- Number of Files and file directories
?- Number of Messages
I don't mean total file size.
