I just transferred a group of almost 3000 members and 14 years of archives and it was perfect. No work on my part at all.
Each person received a very clear email from Goups.io telling them about the transfer and giving them the option of unsubscribing. About 100 people did. I spot checked to find out why. The ones I checked had moved out of the area and never bothered to unsubscribe. It¡¯s a neighborhood list so if people moved two miles away the list would not be useful to them. The message was an easy way to unsubscribe. Only ONE person has emailed me directly to ask the new address. Amazing. People love the new service. Over the last 13 years we had watched YahooGroups decline in services while increasing ads, insisting that people set up Yahoo email accounts, and requiring phone numbers. I had people subscribe by email so they could avoid setting up an account. That meant we no longer used any of the web-based services. I¡¯m sure that when we get to the point of needing it, I can easily get donations to pay for the enterprise service on Groups.io.
