The writing has been on the wall for a long time -
I managed to migrate 5 groups - it was pretty seamless at the time - but the Yahoo rulebook was constantly changing. >>>

Thanks Colin,

Because of some new Yahoo shenanigans we had a somewhat interesting time trying shift over our sizable membership and numerous files, but Groups.io did finally come up with a sneaky solution to help us get the "seamless transfer" that other hobby groups have enjoyed.

We feel honored to have many of the hobby leaders among our membership, and look forward to continued innovation, exploration and excitement in the coming years!
