Do you know that we are now 175 members stong? The same number we had when we left MSN.
And...there are still people applying to the MSN group even though the message is there that we live here now? Yes, I do send them an e-mail directing them here and some have found their way.
We will still be keeping the membership at a Max of 200, any more and it gets a bit unmanagable.
I wonder if they will close the groups on Feb 1 or sometime later and if there will be anything left saying what happened to the groups.

I think the Groups are closing on February 19th or thereabouts..... CF had it in their messages
I think it will be a shock for some.. I still think some people don't believe it will happen
All my groups have moved now... it was good while it lasted... but this is good too
Congrats on getting your group over so well and back up to strength
Hugs Jennie

I really think this place is much better than the msn group. So many nice options for posting and it may "look" different, but it works the same as before. I love it here. I agree with Jennie though, I think a lot of people are in denial and when the time comes they will have a rude awakening. I hope their group can get a new home soon, or they might just fall into nothing, and that would be sad. They need to be paying attention to all the news and getting settled elswhere before it happens.

I like this forum better because I don't get the problems I had in MSN. The only thing I don't like is that you have to go back to the main board every time to get to the next message.

When management take thier groups seriously then members follow . Huronna and her team are the back bone to such a wonderful success . All thier hard work long hours on the computer finding and setting up a new home was not an easy task but is such devotion to its members how could it ever had failed .Thank you you truely show what running a succesful group is all about .

I thinik MSN closes Feb 17th. I have to say that I love the forums
It makes me feels that it's a bit like it must have been when the dinosaurs just up and disappeared all those millions of years ago.
I wonder how new people will find our groups when MSN has gone.

The official date groups are closing is February 21, 2009. Not sure what time, however. In a way I'm not sad to see them go. After all the issues, problems and since I paid for my storage, it was a waste of time. I moved my groups to multiply and I love it. It does take time to get around the features but it did grow on me. Anyways, see you soon, got some work to do. Have a great evening...

I'm really happy that AL kept our members and is gaining some.
I have a storage forum that I had migrated to Multiply on day 1 but not too fond of the setup.
I guess that I should just take the time to get use to it but I keep avoiding it.
When I migrated in October they said that the cutoff was February 19.

Aren't we just an amazing group and it is because we have such great managers here. Another group that I belong to just disappeared one day from MSN and people were still posting there so we do not know why. Fortunately everyone had already moved to a new place. MSN just never knows what it is doing.
