I was looking at beta Topic "Free to Premium Expanse" and noticed messages after 26548 are missing the bottom menu bar. It shows when you click on the Message number and view the individual message,

Jim, Where I live, we have both Freecycle and Freegle. Freegle was started in the uk because some folks didn't agree with some Freecycle policies. e.g. Living Creatures are not allowed on Freecycle

I think I may be the instigation of this whole conversation. Sorry. Our group just downgraded from Premium to Free primarily because we are not bumping into the limits of the free group and as much as

It should be fixed now. Thanks, Mark

Yes, comparison is apples and oranges. Google Groups has no storage assigned to the group.  ZERO.  The only storage is an individual member’s Google Drive storage capacity of 15 GB from which one

So you are asking that I bump the storage for the free version to 15 gigs in the hopes of luring a group to come over that, 1) has never paid for service before, and 2) does not see the advantages of

Some time ago quite a lot of "Freecycle" groups in UK decided they wanted to break away from the parent organisation. Presumably to avoid such legal issues, they call themselves "Frregle" instead of

Can I concur with the previous comments, seems we all appreciate a good product with support. That’s got to be worth paying for in all cases even if a small amount. John Wirtz

Oh - and because with GIO there's an upgrade path. There isn't one with Google.

Mark, IMO, the $5 per month rate ($60 annually to reduce paperwork/workload) with files and photos and a little or no increase in storage would allow smaller Basic/Free groups to "donate" to help

To summarize my take, here's what I think. Yes, there is a donut hole. It's about affordability, not price competition. If it were filled, I'd probably move two of my legacy basic groups into it. If

This just happened 3 days ago, so there may be a little bug in the logic for an existing group. They got around it by changing freecycle to phreecycle. Duane

Freecycle are legit UK organisation. They have been around for years and yeah they do own their trademark by the looks of it.
