One such, who happened not to be moderated and who hadn't posted in the
Y!Group in over a decade, let forth an on-list tirade of profane anger
upon receiving the notices associated with the transfer ("you've been
added" and the group's Welcome notice).
We didn't have any problems like that but I will keep that in mind if
I move any other groups there.
We did have some unsubcribe right after the move though, so they
probably felt like they didn't know what happened.
I did make special notices ahead of and after the move, so those who
had their account set to receive those got a heads up before the move.
Another thing is if you discuss making the move, expect to hear all
kinds of other alternatives. I politely explained that we've been
through this with a few other groups, spent a year researching
alternatives, and felt the move to IO was the best, especially for
people who don't like change much. I also explained that if they did
all their reading and posting by email, they might never know the
difference between IO and Y!G.
I think that allayed some fears about the move.
