I know the activity here on our MSN Group has fallen apart in major part due to the fact that the community is coming to an end.  All of the group managers are complaining about the same thing.  Everyone seems to be holding their breath until we move. 
 
With that being said:
 
1)  Do you think activity will grow when a firm establishment has been grounded and where people know which button to push for what?
 
2)  Although a brand new site do you think commentary and answers to questions posted on the main website will be more ignored because it is a world wide website and will more activity be inspired from a more cozy user group with less exposure to the general public?
 
3)  Do you as a valued member feel that is more comfortable to speak your mind on a user group in more casual setting or on a more formal website setting?
 
I ask these questions as we can start topics on these new services I believe (Multiply and Aimoo) and lock them to outside view.  Obviously workshops that are created for our future projects will need to be off the public venue.  So we can do both with these new user groups, some topics restricted, others open.  A great feature I think.
 
As we have said, we want to place equal attention on our user groups knowing that the blogs on the main website are less anonymous and will be more "announcement" oriented.  It would be nice however to to have some opinion dialogue on the main site.  Definately polls which are totally anonymous will be pushed as we need the opinions and statistics in order to make the right choices.
 
Okay, again, I need some opinion from you all.  Something I haven't gotten enough of.  We need to ponder what will make dialogue increase and who may be interested in taking part in workshops that will create some project building as well. 
 
We need to be here to support everyone and dialogue helps that a great deal.  We also have a new addition, a brand new business and the business needs to be geared also towards what we're going to do.  Actual projects being built, instrumented, implemented, so "actions" can take place.
 
Thanks everyone
 
Brandon

Brandon i trust you to not let this and your ideas go the way of so many.  We have in the past discussed change.  I dont like it.  Then again its healthy and needs to happen.  So we have to move and some done like it.  Well bad luck.  Sometimes life throws these things at you.  Some times life isnt fair.  One can use these setbacks to create something better than what we had or use these setbacks to crawl under a rock and die.  I know where we are going.
 
Bigger, better, brighter, more compasionate, more informative, meeting need wherever it appears.
 
This is exciting.  So it might fail.  Personally i dont think it will.  Come on all.  Lets move it, use it, excite it, display it, promote it, expand it, enjoy it and meet its needs.
 
Love you all
 
Michael
