We are moving this board to Aimoo.
 
Or at least, we're really close to doing this now.
 
I've asked GhostlyVision to scope out the alternatives, and it seems that Aimoo is the best we've come up with yet. Ghostly knows her shit around the boards, and I've trusted her to find us the best alternative.
 
We haven't begun migrating yet, but we will soon. Like within the next week or so.
 
I'm sorry it's taken me this long, but many of us have been busy. I will send out the formal invitation, move notice next week.
 
We're open to all opinions, questions, etc. The Fast Moving Headlines board is legendary, and we will continue to build this legendary group much further into the future!
 
Nacho!

Well, Naco, I did listen. I listened for about 5 minutes and didn't hear a thing so I decided to click on the thread title and guess what? I still don't hear a thing.

Please feel free to ask Belle and I for any information we may have that will help you with the move. The controls at Aimoo are quite expansive and take some getting used to.

Hairless Rose? As opposed to Hirsute Rose?

One thing Grinder is gonna do, is hang on until the last week. Then I invite anyone and everyone to just try and get the group shuttered. Break every dang rule and code of conduct known to man, and laugh at the toothless MSN threats.
 
If you didn't read my letter to MSN over their courtesy mail to our Conservatory Community, used for students to ask questions of faculty and each other, before we did Skype. I'll post it here. Love to be a fly on the wall when they read this. You know it takes a hellova lot to "piss" me off, but Microsoft comes really close.
 
Dear MSN
 
You're closing down all MSN Groups in a month, without any survey or inquiry about what is best practice in service, and you send out this notice? What a bunch of lame, dumbass fucktards you are. This is a first for me, because I never before called anyone a fucktard. Nobody qualified. I almost never "tell someone off." You really have to be slime to initiate that response from me.
 
You qualify.
 
We have NO use for MSN, or Microsoft anything, and will joyfull celebrate and dance on your company's greedy grave. Sale of your OS codes, that invited endless worms, viruses, spams, spyware, malware, as a desire for industry domination and greed, like the Wall Street bank economy, is finally coming around where it belongs. You bullied the industry, and manipulated to create a monopoly, that weakened, not strengthened the potential of what this Renaissance in communication could be. You retarded Humanity, because of a correctly assumed fear that others just might build a better mousetrap than Microsoft. Your attempt to deceive consumers about the advantage of Vista, calling it Mohave, or Mojave, makes YOU, what you assumed is your consumer base.  You are nothing, and we have another service elsewhere, you can't and won't touch or influence.
 
Long live Mac OS 10.5 Leopard. Long live Linux. Long live competition that fairly drives the market by better service and innovation, and not the practices of Microsoft, rooted in greed.
 
Delete the group. See if we care. Drop dead, dry up, and don't expect a government bail out. Gates can sell his private Hawaiian island to a Hussein, if he wants to save the company. As for his and your philanthropy, save it. What he and you give away in advertised philanthropy will never justify the means you pursued to achieve it, or erase the blood stained trail left behind by those who competed fairly, and lost by your knife in their back.
 
What ever your "groups" become, I hope all of a dozen people sign up to use it. Maybe you will treat them the same way you treat us, like we and our thoughts and ideas are your property, or guests on your property, and consequently subject to your whimsical rules. In MSN Groups, I never saw more blatant or more inhumane language of people directed toward one another, that violated your "good neighbor" policy, about which you did nothing. You left it for managers' decision, and many let their ignorance and bias shine right through. Then you investigated and deleted groups for nothing, like meter cheating. Some groups, that is. Some did and some didn't and you didn't treat everyone the same. Rules for some were overlooked for others, and that became hypocrisy.
 
It comes around full circle, because for thousands, maybe millions of people this kind of attitude became the expectation from Microsoft.
 
So the big bully lies on the beach, pinned by we insignificant, inconsequential, meaningless Lilliputians without a voice or say, igniting the fire beneath to roast it and provide good eating for years to come.
 
Cook slowly, Microsoft and MSN. Stew in your juices. Let the memory and ghosts of all your abused, crushed, voiceless, inconsequential victims be piled so high in such slime, shit is angel food by comparison. You are an epitome and definition of evil and what is bad and corrupt in the world, to be loathed, hated, scorned, and so utterly rejected, you're pushed right out of existence. There is no purpose for a business like yours in a truly enlightened and NeoRenaissance society. You arose from an ignorant Dark Age, through acquisition by theft and deception, and as your corpse falls on the steps of a higher enlightenment, and the maggot filled belly bursts open, nobody will care.
 
Isn't it ironic that your Window in Vista, is more of a Mirror? Instead of a view into a greater arena of enlightment, Vista is a reflection of your company, in which we see a bunch of proud hypocrits standing around, patting themselves on the back for the brilliance and wisdom of their superior accomplishment.
 
You have no need for Groups. We, the people of Groups, have no need for MSN or Microsoft. You need us for your business, and you lost sight of that. You lost sight of the need in communication, for TWO way exchange. You don't converse. You dictate. The only option with you is your way, or the highway.
 
See you on the highway, as road kill.
