Re: Migrating Group Before December 14, 2019

There may be a potential workaround to that ... someone wrote the following=
 from another group re how they handled the transfer of resources from the =
Yahoo groups to the free https://groups.io/ alternative:

"Apparently this can still be done (they claim so at least), but it costs $=
110 per group.  Instead I created a free _ _ _ group and uploaded the backu=
ps I had made (zipped) to the files area. That should be accessible to anyo=
ne who joins the group."  (?)

The operative word here is, of course, "should".  But a Files area is a fil=
es area and why provide one it if that's not its purpose ...

I also went to a newly-created group on groups.io and found this informatio=
n listed for it which gives a view on the services for it.  Though one can'=
t be sure from this if it applies to all free groups one can create, if it'=
s good for one, seems reasonable to believe that it's the same for all free=
 groups, one would expect:

"Group Settings

=B0    All subscribers can post to the group.
=B0    Posts to this group do not require approval from the moderators.
=B0    Messages are set to reply to group.
v    Subscriptions to this group require approval from the moderators.
=B0    Archives are visible to subscribers only.
=B0    Wiki is visible to subscribers only.
=B0    Members can edit their messages.
=B0    Members can set their subscriptions to no email."

Looks like there may not be a need for too much moderation beyond the subsc=
ription phase for new members.  And, historically-speaking, I've seen that =
users come forward to alert mods re issues, so "policing" groups seems to u=
sually also have help beyond the mods, haven't you found?

HTH, at any rate!  <g>
