Thank you very much for your time €lf, especially when it's in such short supply! And a hearty laff at Jim! However, I do feel that Ning is more for business usage and we may well get fed up with it ere long.
 
I have to say that comparison of my thoughts with those of the little pointy-eared fellow closely tally, in that Yuku is difficult to navigate. Also Ning doesn't have a migration option, nor does it have smileys (oh dear me!!)
 
Windows Live Groups: membership 10 already !!! But you will have noticed that it is limited in what we can do, and MSN have stated categorically that they will not be offering migration!
 
Multiply: I'm not keen on Multiply for Group use either, in that, although it offers migration, I have found that it looks messy, to say the least (though it has a little time left to improve)! Plus, it's not what you'd call good-looking!
 
Aimoo: And I am getting used to Aimoo in that I belong to another group that's already migrated over there ... the migrated MSN Group stuff may be archived, or Read-Only, but it's been faithfully stored and very readable, and I like the way Aimoo works, more than I like the others. 
 
Now, not many people have responded so far, and I would really like you all to have the option of a say-so! I know Christmas is just round the corner, and maybe also some just want a decision made on their behalf  but time is getting short now ... other groups have already migrated, yet others are migrating on New Year's Day.
 
Lack of response so far has led me to decide we'll make our move on January 31st, shortly before the MSN Groups are closed for good. When that happens you will be receiving invites from the chosen site to join the group ... so please check in your junk mail folders! And at the moment, it's likely that Aimoo will be the chosen site unless there are objections!!!
