This might be a big problem ... there is so much stuff on here.
 
They say the group can be move to Multiply, but who knows how well the transfer will work ... will all the messages, lists and photos etc move as well ... or just the membership, hrmmm!!! 
 
I think before we move the group we will need to check out how good it is,  as we might after the move have the group zapped immediately so:
  • I think I/we will need to test it first to see how good it is (anything better out there?).
  • I think we will need to back up everything!!!! - that's a big job!

Who knows - it might be better than MSN - although I've just about worked out all the glitches now!

Dear all

 It is sad news that the Quantock School old Boyz and Girls (AKA the Quantock Community or even QSoc) is closing.

For reasons best known to MSN they are closing all MSN groups in about a week.

I am in the progress of migrating this group to two different websites, these are:

1) Multiply (MSN's preferred groups)
2) Yuku (which I like better, better messaging system)
... and there is a third one I'm looking at BigTent (looks good but has some faults)

You might get some odd messages from these websites in the next few days.  Hopefully you can join both sites and let me know which one you prefer.

If  for some reason both migrations fail, I have backed up the most important parts of this group ... 

If you plan to join the migrated groups the same rules will apply:


 1 Give your name

 2  Tell us the years you were at Quantock School

3   Your Class of year

4  Who was the headmaster

 Let us keep our fingers crossed ... and hope for the best!!!!

Hope to see you on the other side ...
