Fees for using the Yahoo group transfer

 

开云体育

I’m considering moving 2 Yahoo groups to groups.io, one with about 924 members and one with about 216 members.? I understand from the Help file that an annual fee of $110 applies to use the move technique described in the Help files.? Would this apply to both groups?? That is, would it cost us $220 to move 2 groups?? We are not, unfortunately, a non-profit – the Greater Rockridge Neighborhood Crime Prevention Council is considered a part of Oakland, CA city government, specifically the Neighborhood Services group in the Police Department.? So I can’t show you a 501(c)(3).? But we have a relatively limited budget, and the city has suggested it may be about to be even more limited.?

?

If using the tools would cost $220, is there a way I could do it by hand for free??

?

Karen -- Yes, the price to be paid is per group.

That wouldn't make any difference. The non-profit discount applies only to the Enterprise plan, which itself is quite a bit more expensive.

There have been multiple messages over the last few days discussing this very thing, and I suggest you read them and come back with further questions. See also:?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-YahooGroups

Summarizing:? If your goal is to do this on the cheap, and you have a lot of time on your hands, moving the subscribers by hand is relatively easy. Moving files/photos and stuff like that is quite a bit more difficult. Migrating your old group messages to groups.io without paying the upgrade fee is pretty much impossible.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
 

Hi. Yes, you could set up the groups then invite all the members individually. Note that if you do 20 or more in one batch, they will have to be approved by Mark first, before they get sent out.

Thanks.
From Michael.

[Mod note: This is actually incorrect. It's 20 per day, not per batch. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/20-Invitations-Limit]

Bruce,
If I may comment - I read somewhere that as long as you are an owner in both groups and you use your the same email address for both groups, the single fee will allow you to transfer both groups. Is this untrue?

FYI Karen:? while tools are used to perform the migration, it still requires a person to do the work for each group.?

If none of your Y!G content is worth saving, you can manually create the new group(s) and invite everyone to join it.? That's what I'm doing (I'm almost done).

This link provides a pretty good idea of what needs to happen:

Susan -- That is completely untrue. The payment plan is associated with?the destination group. Who owns it is irrelevant, except to the extent that person is able to perform the necessary functions (e.g. send invitations, promote the transfer agent to a Moderator, etc.).?

Bruce
