Getting Started with iGrOOps

*** As of January 10, 2008, registration of all new free iGrOOps has been discontinued *** 

iGrOOps launched in February of 2007 by offering a revolutionary service that allowed iGrOOp administrators to setup a hybrid social network / membership site and charge a membership fee.  Many people took advantage of this service and are now being financially compensated for their work as the group's administrator.  However, we did find that a surprising number of people wanted to use the technology iGrOOps provides for more personal reasons than for business.  To respond to this need, on August 1, 2007 we announced the free iGrOOps option.

The free iGrOOp option is a fully functional iGrOOp that is free for the administrator to start and free for the members to join.  The free iGrOOp has all the application and tools provided in the professional option, but with certain restrictions (as outlined below).

Restrictions and Limits

The free iGrOOp was designed for families, small local clubs and groups, small non-profit organizations, groups of friends, class reunions, and other personal uses.

• Free iGrOOps are provided for use by individuals and non-profit organizations for personal, non-commercial uses
