Our Mangers, and Network partner managers are diligently working on getting information about possible alternative formats, developing new suites of tools for various formats and trying to keep a bit of calm.  You have almost 4, yes Four Months to decide where to move your group. 
     Take Just a few minutes before you post a question, suggestion or comment to help us and our members that are helping with the cause by:
 
A.  Checking other threads to make sure your question has not already been answered or a similar thread does not already exist.
 
B.  Write descriptive subjectlines. 
 
C.  Read all threads that are Bracketed by >>> Subject <<<  These are from Me or Erin.  Only CCG Managers use this style subjectline.  Others impersonating it will be deleted on sight from this point forward.
 
D.  Most important... Continue running your MSN Group as you always have.  Your members are as shook up as you are.  They need you to make the move wherever it is an informed and gradual process.
Already Answered Questions, No Need to ask them again
 
Q.  Does AW (Automatic Webset Maker) and other utilities offered here work in Multiply?
A. Yes, Dancer was kind enough to copy a webset over to his group in Multiply and they work fine and Dandy.
 
Q.  Will AW and other utiliuties this group offers be available after the transition?
A.  Yes,  They will be available on our permanent WWW Site.
 
Q.  Will there be any interuption of Chat Services offered by Chat Central Gateway?
A.   No,  Chat, Chatrooms and all Chat related support services are on our permanent WWW Site.  They will not be affected.  The chatrooms are a good anchor for your members. 
 
Q.  What will happen to CCG and its network pertners? 
     Presently part of the Boutique is already on our permanent WWW Site.  We will move the Tag Library over there too.  The searches will continue to work for each.  As we do more research the export engines associated with each will be modified to include many diferent formats. 
     We already have one basic general board there that is in the testing phase.  It has been there forever and pretty much ignored, so I have not done much with it.  I guess now I have some motivation.  Once I refine it, I will replicate it and create a few boards for the partners to use for their various topics.  Naturally since it is a WWW site, pages there are no issue.  Once we get one group (ours) going and debugged on the permanent WWW Site, we may offer groups to individuals just as we did the free chat, but that is a lot of R & D down the road.
Q.  Will CCG Migrate or move to other formats besides its own permanent WWW Site?
A.  Yes, eventually.  We presently have test sites in many forum types as it is.  They are our ouposts.  If we elect to also migrate this group to Multiply, we will give everyone plenty of advance notice before we do to allow those that want to jump ship or remove content they don't want taking the ride over.
