The app is discussed in its own subgroup here. The latest information was just released a couple of days ago - https://beta.groups.io/g/app/message/327 No mention has been made about charging for

David, For those running such a group the choices seem stark: pay up, go small, or go elsewhere. That is, pay extra for additional members (beyond the number included in your group plan), don't pay

Samuel, Me neither. I used "sponsored" to refer to slots paid for by the group owner (either as part of the base allotment or purchased with a per/member fee). In that sense it is a benevolent

I specifically avoided the word "sponsor" because to me the word "sponsor" implies some kind of benevolent act, which is different from the purchase of services. When individuals "sponsor" something,

Hi, I represent the River City Gems charitable organization (www.rivercitygems.org and rivercitygems.groups.io) and we have been using groups.io for a number of years. We currently have the Premium

J, Neither. Well, actually Groups.io but not in the way you're thinking. Yes. In my proposal the processing of pending members proceeds as normal, with the addition of telling the group moderator

Mark, The number of included subscriptions (based on plan type) plus the additional per member fee slots purchased by the group I would refer to as "sponsored" subscriptions. The intent is to

Actually, I set a -5 minute reminder which came after the event start. Sorry I wasn't more clear on that. Duane

Hi Mark, This is a combination of two separate but related issues in the Reminders section of the Event Add/Edit screen. Please refer to this topic:

image storage is silly for a group that sells. And if we want to save storage space, use links to your personal photo storage site. that takes up very little space. All messages in a sales group

The existing group(s) should not be impacted at all by the upcoming changes, unless or until they decide to upgrade, per Mark's announcement - https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/27191. Duane

I belong to several Online Swap Meets that are Basic (Free) lists on groups.io They generate considerable message traffic and image storage and will be impacted by the Jan18th price increases. Some of

I respectfully but emphatically disagree. Incessant criticism without suggestion(s) for improvement is a waste of everyone’s time. I happen to believe this DISCUSSION, ongoing though it may be,

The logic supporting your absolute pronouncement here is not clear to me. Let me put this another way…a group owner has little, if any, control or input as to Groups.io rules or fees. He/she is a

Ultimately, while no one wants this, the point may be reached when FREE cannot be continued: the choice then becomes pay or lose... as I've mentioned before, in this situation, there is no good

I don't believe that's true. I think Mark would have some sort of setting at the group level to determine if a site membership would be required. A new group would have a limited number of free

Quite so! GROUPS are Grandfathered. Not members. Groups are members of IO. Memebers of a group are members oilf a group and not members of IO. SOME outfits for say, $500, give a member lifetime total

My Grandfathered FREE Basic Group would no longer be freely accessible, if there is ANY form of a user account fee suddenly being charged by Groups.io every year. My FREE Group would be placed behind

While I agree that many people who created groups at Groups.io had thought that things would always be the same for them and for everyone else that they recommended Groups.io to, and many such people

I keep getting drawn back in, so I’ll just say it one last time and then mute this topic so I’m not tempted: my feeling is that any structure wherein members pay instead of just owners violates
