Since we screen applicants here, it's easy enough to put a message in the application email telling them of our new address.
I'm not sure how much consensus there is. There's eight or nine of us talking about it out of 334 members. A rough guess, I'd say half the list is set up for "no email", meaning they check in when they need to or feel like it so they have no idea this conversation is even taking place. Of the rest, half are split between the digest and individual emails. I could put up a poll for people to vote, but I'd be impressed if we got more than a 10% turnout.
We can leave this topic open for the rest of February (an arbitrary, soft deadline) for discussion and see where we go from there.

I'm game to move if there is consensus among the group. We would definitely want to preserve our old posts/content. It would also be a good idea if we could set up some sort of forwarding of message sent to the Yahoo group address to the new address if we go that route. An auto reply to anyone that emails it that states the group has moved and instructions for joining at the new location would also be a good idea.
I hadn't heard of Google Groups having any sort of issues, but then I manage Google Groups for an academic institution and our groups aren't on the commercial side of things.
