I have been looking around the various options for setting up this comm on another networking site ... and believe me there's a lot of places out there!!
 
We have been invited by MSN, to "migrate" the group pages to Multiply, http://multiply.com/ , and this is my page there if you care to looksee what you can do on the site ... http://phoebedslr.multiply.com/ . However, a lot aren't keen on that site, mainly, I think, because it's different to what we're used to. But, other sites are now beginning to offer migration software, so I personally don't wish to rush moving the group until all the options are available!
 
Anyway, please look around the choices available at the moment, some of which I list below, with links, and let me know how you feel about them.
 
Aimoo, http://www.aimoo.com/Showcase/Showcase.html , is a site now offering migration tools,
 
Yuku, http://support.yuku.com/ , seems to be popular with people I've spoken to
 
Ning http://www.ning.com/home/networks is another that's been mooted.
 
I found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Live_Groups As it says on the box, it's Windows Live Groups, but don't expect it to look like our current group site, cos it won't!
 
Oh and what have we here? http://mature.www.worldgroups.com/grppage.wsif?t=site/general/benefits/benefits my, my, MS World Groups!!
 
I've also found Proboards, a forum-based site - http://www.proboards.com/index.html, which we could link to another group site if wanted.
 
Anyway, please feel free to look around and let me know what you like/don't like and maybe we can select one that everyone will be happy with (and that'd be a first in world history eh ? ) There's no panic, we don't have to move until February, so please give some thought to where we'd like our new home to be.
