I would guess that Groups.io needs to lease a large amount of server time a=
nd storage ( probably from Amazon) immediately to handle the surge. The rea=
l test of whether it is worth the cost for us will be what happens to the p=
rices next year after things have settled down.

That's news to me, Joel, but I have been wondering how they'll cope with th=
e enormous sudden growth in their business, provided to them by Yahoo's act=
ions.
I guess the answer is they'll need to buy, lease or otherwise pay for a lot=
more server capacity and bandwidth, which probably goes some way towards e=
xplaining a price increase.
It does appear we'll have the option of downgrading, at the end of the year=
, to a free account. Failing that, the group will have been in a lifeboat =
for a year, giving it time to look for another host.
Personally, I'm opposed to Facebook, for reasons I won't bore you with, but=
partly because I'm a UK citizen. I'm not overly fond of Google, especiall=
y since they have no intention of providing accessibility for blind or deaf=
people, plus I find most of what they do overblown and annoying - like whe=
n I typically spend two minutes waiting for the first Youtube page of the d=
ay to load, possibly just to watch a minute long clip.
I'm not arguing with you though - I don''t know enough about groups.io to t=
ry. I'm just offering my own opinion.
