Are you interested in announcing groups.io, and this beta group, in the other moderator groups on Yahoo? If you'd rather that happen "organically" there's enough overlap in membership of these groups

Shal, I'd definitely like to get the word out to the other groups, but maybe not quite yet. I wanted to start things slowly for three reasons. First, to be able to work through the (sigh, numerous) bu

If you want these groups to do well, you will need to have a free service based on advertising as most people cannot afford to pay to own groups. It would also be very smart to allow groups to be publ

David, Yes, that's the plan. Public groups are free. And always will be. When we launched last week, free groups originally had the restriction that you couldn't send attachments through them. I remov

One page that's been missing is a page displaying all your subscriptions. Here is a first pass: https://groups.io/subs You can sort, but you can't change any subscriptions/unsubscribe yet. Please let

Instead of unsubscribing by clicking on Subscription and seeing the option under that tab, you have to click on Groups.IO, then select muted hashtags

Ah, I had not thought about that. Would you also want to have the tabs for Muted or Followed Threads there as well? Thanks, Mark

I just created a group for people to announce new groups that they've created as an alternative discovery mechanism. https://groups.io/org/groupsio/new-groups

You're aware of this, I assume: https://groups.io/search?ord=Created

I've gone ahead and added a link from the home page to the /subs page, which should now be fully operational. I took out the part at the bottom of the subs page that displayed how many groups you were

The problem is that the majority of those groups are test groups. Also, if people start posting too many groups, then we can set standards. Like you need at least 5 members before you post.

Hey All, After gathering a lot of feedback, and doing a lot of thinking, I've decided to make some changes. I hope you'll like them. Here's what I'm considering: there will be two types of groups, Bas

Hi Mark, Ideal for my PTA groups would be Basic, with Direct Add "à la carte" at a lower fee. Something well under $100/yr, that I can get into the budget, or find a parent to donate, or donate myself

Sal, Thanks for the feedback. If you need the direct add for a one time thing, to populate the group, for example, you could pay the $10 for one month, add everyone you need, and then downgrade to fre

Mark, Possibly. The vast majority of PTA sign-ups are during registration (mid-August) or back-to-school-night (early September), depending on the school. There's usually a trickle throughout the year

That's already in the system. You can track each invitation, whether it's been accepted, and you can see what the receiver's email server has sent back to us. I appreciate the advice, even when it's f

Hi Mark, Thanks for creating this alternative email exchange service. I created a group and asked a few friends to join so we could kick the tires. A couple of issues. Members require approval to join

Hi All, I've just pushed to the live site the changes to the pricing model that I mentioned last week. This means that free groups can now have private archives and can be unlisted. It also means that

Hi All, I suggest this with some trepidation, as I know that calendars are just about the canonical example of the "how hard can it be?" fallacy. Closer to the "research team and five years" end of th

Hi Sara, Thanks for the suggestions. Approval/rejection of pending members via email is definitely on the todo list, as is asking prospective members for more information. You can approve/reject pendi
