for those who ask about how to handle ur old YG, with regard to new members¡­we shut down the ability for new members to join, which causes an email to the ¡°owner¡± email address when the person attempts to apply for membership, so in this way, we still capture the person¡¯s interest & can redirect them to the new IO group.

?

at its height, how many YGs were there? IO now has 4653 groups. i enjoy watching the counter go up on new groups created daily. i think at 5000 we shud throw a virtual party here!

FWIW, we put our YG group into full moderation and edited our notifications: Pending Mbr, Reject and Goodbye notes all point to our new group here. And a notice on the YG homepage that we have moved, of course.

As for number of YG groups, the "reported" figures from years ago is 10 million groups and 100 million users:



I still haven't decided if YG is falling apart or if new owners are just poking around and kicking the tires a bit. Simply abandoning "x" million users wouldn't be something to do lightly, I would think. Should be interesting.

ruthie,

at its height, how many YGs were there?
The base of its directory showed a count of a little over ten million.

Not including unlisted groups, but certainly including some abandoned or otherwise fallow group, and test groups.

They also claimed over 100 Million users. Though it was widely suspected that included test accounts and dormant ones. Thus far the highest posterid I've seen in Groups.io is 716,907 - but undoubtedly some recently transferred group has a member with higher one.
