Besides Groups.io. does anyone have experience porting a group to other venues like Google Groups or WordPress? I've known a couple of groups move to Google but they started from scratch and didn't carry any archived material over with them, which isn't a course I want to take.
I know WordPress as a website host and blog platform, but is it also compatible with the kind of thing we do with YG?

I could port your group to Wordpress.
There's an addon called WP Mailster
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mailster/
to emulate the listserv functionality.
I'm hoping to offer this for $110 per group (basically cause that whats groups.io charge)
Have you decided on pricing for Wordpress porting?
I'm kind of leaning towards phpBB.
I have a very talented phpBB guy writing a tool to read the PGO archive and members list and populate the phpBB site directly from that.
So, no muss, no fuss.
Also... he's going to try and replicate the YG listserv functionality which, I have found out Mailster doesn't do.
It does run a listserv but it does not post to the forum.
Price wise... it'll depend on the amount of time needed to process each group.
I'm thinking... under $200 per group.
Cheers,
Wilson.
