Regarding the original post: As a customer I do not see Google groups as a serious competitor to premium GIO. Google is just a better version of the current Yahoo platform with a ton of memory. This

Groups.io has received letters from a law firm apparently representing the Freecycle trademark holder in the UK, stating that a particular group with freecycle in the name is infringing on their

Only Mark knows the financial side of GIO. GIO has to be a financial viable business. Let's allow Mark to decide what he feels the best. If what is offered by GIO is not satisfactory, the groups can

Paul, I don’t disagree with any of that. Premium is great. It’s just that for me, it’s more of a luxury than a need. And I would have to think hard if I hadn’t been grandfathered in at this

Hi J, I started with the premium because of being able to resolve the problems when we transferred to GIO. I, like you, have kept it because my time is worth more than $110/year. I can't count the

As I think about it, a relatively inexpensive storage upgrade just for legacy basic groups might be a win-win - say, $10/month for 10GB?

I like that idea. I have a bunch of groups and cannot afford to foot the bill for multiple groups. I also hayte to ask for donations. Ginny Butterfield Cranberry Twp,

That's true... unless you have a legacy basic group, in which case a bump in storage could be crucial.

I wasn’t going to weigh in here because I’m safely ensconced in my legacy premium group. But that’s selfish of me. So I’ll be honest. If I had to pay $20month I’m pretty sure I would

Someone on GMF is having problems (re)creating a freecycle group so they can move from Yahoo. It appears that if the word freecycle is in either the email/name or in the title, it will return a "That

Hi Mark, There’s a number of people/groups already with Groups.io that continue to plead for something between $220/year and the free plan. My groups can operate just fine within the limitations of

You might have free groups move to a mid-tier but cheaper group, which would be an increase in revenue, but you'd also have a few premium groups that don't need all the features downgrade to the

While I get the rationale behind the current feature+pricing tier, I also agree that a paid "Basic-Enhanced" plan would be beneficial, both short- and long-term; the reality is the jump from free to

There’s possibly another aspect to this that may not have anything to do with the back button. Sometimes, a draft stays I the draft folder even after the message has posted. I noticed a couple of

What good is 20 GB if it's limited to message attachments? Most of what I've seen discussed in this context is not insufficient storage, but loss of features, specifically files and photos and

A warning message would be a good stop gap for now. It would have saved me, and no doubt others, a lot of headaches. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My

So, a simple warning message about not using the back button would seem to suffice then. I expect it on any site where I've made some input and knowing that it may happen is more than enough reason

The fact that in some cases drafts are lost if you use the back button I think is pretty bad, unless a warning is issued, which some sites with that problem do. You don’t expect it in groups.io. --
