I just received word about MSN closing their groups. I checked out the site they suggest but it seems to be nothing more than another myspace type of place. The Peer-to-Peer Support Group for MSN Groups ATTN: CF Members**Changes coming to MSN Groups You may have heard rumors that MSN Groups will in closing, I’d like to respond to those here so that our most active users have the information you need to manage your groups effectively. It is true that we are planning to close the MSN Groups service on February 21, 2009 and will offer you the opportunity to move your group to our new partner service, Multiply. We understand the importance of keeping your group together, so we partnered with Multiply to create a migration process that moves your group to their service to preserve your online community and its history. The migration method that Multiply has built for you is still in the beta stage, we plan to open it next week. Once the service is ready we’ll be sending all of our users an email and will post notices within the MSN Groups site with more information, including instructions for beginning the migration process. In the meantime I encourage you to visit http://Multiply.com to get to know the service and see some of the thousands of groups they host already. The natural question to ask in this situation is why we are closing MSN Groups. It is our goal to provide our customers with the most current and user friendly technology available today. We made the difficult decision to close the MSN Groups service as part of an overall investment in updating and re-aligning our online services with Windows Live. In the long term we believe that closing the service is the best way to continue to offer innovative, best of breed services that help you stay in touch with the people you care about. It’s very important to us that you keep the data you created using MSN Groups and that is why we have partnered with Multiply, so you can keep your group going into the future despite the closure of MSN Groups. Between today and February 21, 2009 the MSN Groups service will remain the same as it is now. We will remove the option to add more storage to your group but other features will remain until the service is shut down and you can use it the same way you do today until the date of closure. Watch the site and your email inbox over the next week as we will post updated information there, including a more detailed outline of your options and next steps. Regards, Charlotte Jones, Group Product Manager, Microsoft | |

| Pray for Our Nation and for One Another  What a shock! A couple of years ago MSN took away all chat rooms in their groups. Now they want to shut down all groups. There are more than 6 years of some really great posts here of all kinds. I know MSN has been a pain for some time now as some people tell me they can't get in because it says, "Page not found". All the time I'm in here looking for others. Then a few days ago I discovered that another one of my groups had just vanished! No explanation, no warning. I lost a lot of graphics I had stored there to use for this group.  I have realized as I'm sure you have too, that this group has not been as active as it used to be but every time I have mentioned closing it, you all tell me no. I am not interested in moving this group to "Multiples", which has a "my space' type of setup. There are more than 6 years worth of some really great posts here of all kinds. If you want to read them, you still have several months to do so. In the meantime, I will try to copy and save a lot of them. I'm anxious to hear your thoughts, ideas, opinions, and suggestions on this so please share your feelings with me. Thank you for being a member of my group and for your friendship and dedication over the years. You are so special to me!  |

I heard that some are opening groups on google. Not the same but they have it open as a backup just in case. MSN has done it this time. I will not use anything with MSN if this happens. |

Since I have not been able to access the group for some time, I am afraid I am not sad. I do pray we find some place where it isnt so difficult to access and navigate. It was a beautiful place when I was there..., wish I could have been there more often. You were always in my prayers. Even though noone seemed to notice I wasnt around.
Lamentations 2:19
Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children.

Monette, Yuku is okay, actually. When EZBoards was done away with, and Yuku took over, they even moved our entire board for us. I wasn't about to attempt it myself and mess things up. We haven't had any trouble with it at all. hipbootsandhigherground.yuku.com As for Tripod, I had my girls' website on it, remember? There was four years of work on that site, with updates, all my private graphics and music for the site... everything.....One day, about 5 months ago, it was gone. I wrote them and they just said "ooops, we made a mistake". I wrote back and told them to find it and put it back, that I knew they had it in their memory files, but to this day they have not even answered that email. Sorry that your board, as you know it, is going down. It's scary and makes you feel like giving up. But don't. Back up your board, Monette, so you'll have your posts and all. Then try it on another service. Marilyn |

Many have moved their groups to YUKU. They seem to like it a lot. |
