I understand that this service has to pay for itself, and luckily my group is grandtfathered so this won't affect it. However, if I were just thinking of moving to G.Io this would cost me nearly

That won’t work because a decision was made (which I strongly agree with) a long time ago not to let members know which groups are paid and which ones are not. -- J Messages are the sole opinion

The option for group owners to directly pay for their group (Premium, Enterprise) would still be available. In that case membership would be a freebie for subscribers, regardless of their individual

My group moderates attachments and I have one member who more often than not has a .p7s attachment which I end up deleting. I have suggested to this member that they turn off the option in their mail

Don't think so. Groups.io would presumably track the IP address. But in any case, the subscriber-pays idea seems unworkable for a whole bunch of reasons. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the

I can see issues with this where someone is subscribed to (using your example) 3 groups and then joins a club that has a membership fee and uses Groups.io for its communication. As a paid-up member of

I like the idea of having a method to accept donations - especially if the primary motivation is to support the group's existence on Groups.io. I've reminded people that Groups.io is and has been 100%

I must say I have found this thread a bit depressing. As we go through life we encounter all sorts of people we don't want as "bosom buddies" but we have to get along with them on some level and thus

Glenn, This already happens for each member's mute or follow choices. So not much new about that part. It doesn't matter whether Charlie uses individual vs digest, nor email vs web. All that matters

That's correct. Based on past history, in all likelihood it would never be affected as long as you don't upgrade.

For 950 members I believe it would be $522.50 per year, not $2,000. The per-member fee is for all members above 400, so $220 base + 550 x $0.55. Per Mark: Premium Starting at $20/month or

I may be misunderstanding, but I gather that my 20-year-old group of 950 members that was migrated to groups.io in late 2019 and is now a basic rather than a premium group would not immediately be
