Hi Carol,
There is now a link to this group on the info page of the minutus YahooGroup and there is also a link to here on
https://groups.rifeforum.com
Every member of the YahooGroup has also been sent an email inviting them to join this group.
By now, everyone from the previous group should have got the message about this new group.
As to Google, I tried it and only found the other Minutus group that is not being used. Perhaps they should add a link to this group as well.
The $8.99 charge is for those wanting to buy a downloadable copy of the Minutus archives. It is currently the only practical way of reading your past discussions until we can get the funds to upload those discussions here.
I have setup a page where people can donate and also see the current status of the fund as well:

Let me explain again how this new group works, it is very similar to YahooGroups.
Whereas YahooGroups was financed by advertising, groups.io is user financed. There is a free level with reduced features, but it is not possible to migrate groups to the free level. The Rife community paid the $220 yearly charge for the system we are using here, which allowed 3 of the 4 groups sharing this platform here to transfer their messages and members automatically. If your group had not been so inactive, we could have got this group fully transferred as well. The result of the inaction is that there is now only an expensive way of transferring the groups archives and therefore the need to fund raise so that you can get your archives back.
As a member, you do not have to pay anything to use this system. You can post here and read the messages as much as you like for free. On a group level, it would be great if each of the four groups sharing this rifegroup platform would contribute $55 per annum ($55x4=$220) so that we can pay for next year's premium fees, as we also share the facilities offered at the premium level.
