- I hate Slack but I can answer these questions. - Mop Feb 20, 14:10 5
  - why do you hate it? for this, it's professional education courses at a conference, not a school, so i think it'll work well since the main - colin Feb 20, 14:13 4
    - This a perfectly cromulant tool for this purpose. We used it at a conference last year. -- nm - Mop Feb 20, 14:15 3
      - ok cool. i'll keep classes separate from business then... although i'll make sure they know who's running it :) - colin Feb 20, 14:19 2
        
        The free version may have a cap on the number of "subscribers". It does have a cap on number of messages. - Mop Feb 20, 14:21 1
        
        supposedly maxes out around 8000 users, but that's waaaay more than I'd have. and 5000 messages is probably more than i'd need too... - colin Feb 20, 14:26
- switching slacks is annoying. I'd generally opt for 1 slack with private or public channels as appropriate. The real downside of that is that Slack - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Feb 20, 14:03 4
  - How are you switching Slacks? My Slack browser has 5 buttons on the left for the 5 groups I'm in. Switching is a simple click. -- nm - Mop Feb 20, 14:13
  - yeah, given the paid/free thing, maybe the class thing is not the best idea :-/ -- nm - colin Feb 20, 14:05 2
    - the free thing is totally workable. You just top out at 10k messages in the back buffer. We use free for the EVE slack and we've got like 4300 - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Feb 20, 14:06 1
      - well, for class stuff it sounds okay. if I create a group for each class, that'll be 10k messages in total, right? - colin Feb 20, 14:10
- For premium usage, there is a per-user charge. -- nm - psilotum Feb 20, 13:54 4
  - what's the difference on premium? i'd ideally have several hundred external members (or more) on the class ones. will free work for that? -- nm - colin Feb 20, 13:55 3
    - There's a limit to archived messages. It's fine for casual use, but might be a mar on a professional service. -- nm - psilotum Feb 20, 13:57 2
      - yeah, i think for client, i'd only be adding a few users to a channel and I wouldn't do that until there was some revenue.. the class one might be a - colin Feb 20, 13:58 1
        
        looks like premium lets you have guest users too, which would be nice for them not to have to sign up for a slack account. -- nm - colin Feb 20, 14:00
