Hello everyone...
 
By now you may have heard that MSN has decidied to discontinue providing the service called MSN Groups... where we host the Harmony Kinghdom World Message Board.  This board along with all the others will cease to be in February of 2009.
 
Now... MSN has negotiated with another company to migrate existing MSN groupsto between now and then -- this new service company is called Multiply.com.  Message boards migrated to Multiply would carry all the content -- but would be in a radically different "blog" format.
 
Now that all of that has been said -- here is our dilemma for the HK World Board... in order to mgrate an existing MSN group, you must have full MANAGER status... and we have not had one of those for almost 5 years now.
 
The original HK World board managers ahve since moved on to other pursuits or as with most of us, changed email addresses several times over the years.
 
So unless MSN makes some allowance for the situation we are in, I will not be able to migrate the HK World board to the new service.
 
I would pose this... in the event that MSN does not come back with an alternative solution (I have contacted MSN customer service and they are reciewing the "problem")... would any of you be interested in if we started up a fresh new HK related board on the new Multiply.com service?
 
If enough people want this done, I will go ahead and set it up... we still have the full backing of the Harmony Ball Company.... so basically it's up to us if we want to keep it going.
 
Please post one way or the other so we can get a feel for what the group wants to do...
 
Thanks!
 
Mike
