The Mellotron Group

Hi,

Just a little clarification. I also moderate another group (PolySix), where I’ve also voiced the idea of a fundraiser for that group. There was confusion that this would be a yearly requirement. Definitely not so! One time only to do the migration. Afterwards we can go back to the free plan. Only if we need > 1 GB storage we would need a bigger boat - uhm plan.

Ben

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.
