The Mellotron Group

Hi all,

As mentioned before, Yahoo is closing down these groups in the near future. I have already opened a new group at https://groups.io/g/mellotron.

I have been looking into the problem of transferring our content (messages, files, photos) over to groups.io. There is an option to migrate all content but it will cost us $110. I could put up a gofundme page, or directly via paypal (probably cheaper) to collect funds. Otherwise, it would be a completely blank slate over there.

The way the transfer to groups.io works is as follows:

- we now have a free plan at groups.io.
- you have to get a premium plan for at least one year. Otherwise you do not have the migration option.
- premium plan for one year costs $110.
- after that first year, the premium plan is no long necessary. Unless you need more than 1 GB storage. (I don’t think so.)

Details are here: https://groups.io/yahootransfer

If we don’t do this:

- I will export the current member list, and import this into groups.io. 
- They will then send out invitations to join the new group.
- If someone wants to save their own photos or files, it’s up to themselves to re-upload them to groups.io.

Would there be any interest here in me setting this up? Again, we need $110 to get this done. (We currently have 200 members.)

Thanks,
Ben
