Re: [QuadtoneRIP] the clock is ticking - usefulness of this group on yahoo and its content are about to be vaporized

There has been a transfer fee since February of $110, IIRC.

They seem to have a backlog of transfers, and they’re now trying to get people to pay $200 to expedite the transfer. :-(  I’ve been waiting on the Nikon_D-SLR group to move since Monday morning.  It also took a couple days prior to that to get things lined up with the transfer account.
