It is with great sadness in my heart that i make this announcement to you all that
this group will be closing down on
30th November.
Since MSN gave us the news about the closeure of all its groups i have been very busy creating new trial groups at "Multiply" "Yuku" Aimoo" and Google.I have spent many many hours setting these all up as i also had to setup a personal one on each of these servers and after it was ALL done i was so dissappointed with the results of ALL OF THEM that i came to this very sad decision to close down my group here.
I am so dissappointed with how things have turned out and the shabby way that we have all been treated by MSN that i feel like i have had my heart "Ripped Right Out"
This group has been my life for the past year and i have worked very hard to get it the very best i could for you all but my heart just isn't in it now thanks to MSN.
So i am now just going to be just a member like you but i think that it will never be the same for me anymore..
I will still have my own private group where i will transfer and store things i have made here personally and as soon as i narrow my choice down from one of the three i have going at the moment i will post the link on this group before the final day so that we can still keep in touch with each other as i have become so fond of you all especially my dear friend 'Annie' who i adore and i hope she will keep her own group going so that you can follow her there.And to Jude who has been such a help to Annie and myself since joining our team i say a big thank you sweetie we both have appreciated all your help.I am so going to miss you all and i hope our paths will cross again in some of the new groups that are popping up.(Although i wont be rejoining many this time as my heart is not in it
anymore i'm sad to say)
Now if you decide to stay with us till i close the group on the 30th November that would be great but if you also decide to leave us i will understand your decision totally and my feelings will not be hurt.
I just want you all to remember that we had a great group here and the reason that it was so enjoyable was because of all the wonderful members we have here.
Now if Annie wants to take it over i am more than happy to let her do so all i know is my heart has been broken and i can't repair it.And to MSN i say this...
"It was very poor form to throw all our groups on the garbage heap as you have just done for i feel we all deserved much better treatment than that from you".
I wish you all well my dear friends and i will go now and wipe away my tears as i ask god to bless each and everyone of you.
My deepest thanks for being such a huge part of my life and making my time here in this group so enjoyable.
"I love you all"
Judith

This is so disappointing...with msn doing what they are doing.  I've been transferring all of my personal tags to photobucket.  I just do not know what to do.  But I think I too will just close our family group. 
I have totally enjoyed putting the backgrounds together but I just don't know where I will go to do that.  Maybe I'll follow you JG. 
Msn brings me to tears.
Hugs from Shar

Awwwwwwwwwwww JG, i know just how you are feeling, i`ve been crying over all this too..and getting grumpy even with my kittys...lol....i have enjoyed it here too but things change in life which we have no control over sometimes..iam a manager in a cat group which i have been in for 6 years and we have decided to make Aimoo our new home..lots like msn...i don`t like Yuku..(Yucky) the name puts me off for starters...lol  i will keep an eye in here till you close which will be a very sad day indeed as i know the huge amount of work you have put in to it...hey! pal from over the "ditch" you have the same name as me "Judith" lol...good luck JG, hugs to you, Jude.

♥Thank you for your kind words my dear friends i really appreciate your comments♥
Annie my friend as i said in my previous post i will post a link to my own private group
(which ever one i decide to go with) and we can stay in touch through that.
I have made such wonderful friends here and i would hope that we will always remain in
touch through the groups (new or old)  
And yes it is so sad that it has come to this i am
just so heartbroken by the whole mess,so much hard work has gone into this group that i
am still really in a daze and i will just have to take stock of things and find myself a new
home that i hope you will all stop by and visit with me..
 
Shar sweetie,i am still checking out where i will also be able to transfer my personal Backs
to not all the servers are able to take them at least not in the format that we are used to here.
And HTML is such a pain i hated it when i first started to learn how to do the backs and i
still hate it.Using the cheat sheets was soooo much easier..So far i think "YUKU" is the best
place to store them but i will let you know for sure when i finally decide where i will be
putting mine.As for all the snags in here i already have them all in Photobucket so that is not
a problem for me.I also love making the Backgrounds but it looks like they are fast becoming
 a lost cause.. 
But if we can store and use them somewhere you will be more than welcome to store yours
also in my new group where everthat may be.. But i am now going to concentrate more
on PSP as this seems to be the way to go for the future of any group.And in the past i never
really had the time for it with this group and the other 75 that i was a member of,but now
that this has all happened i went in last night and resigned from heaps of my groups and it
is now down to 27,some of these may still not start up new but for the moment i will remain
a member with them till i see where they are going to move to.
 
And for my sweet neighbour across the way "Jude" (who also is Judith see we are more
alike than you knew)LOL  I hope you will also pop in to say hello to me when ever you are
passing by on your travels.I also have an account in "Aimoo" but i don't know for sure yet if
i will keep that one as my permanent one or one of the others that i have also set up with the
other servers.. But which ever one i end up with rest assured that i will post the link to it in
here so that you can all still be able to find me..
BUT IT'S A VERY SAD TIME FOR ME AT THE MOMENT
I CAN TELL YOU!!!!! 
((Hugs~JG))

There are so many groups that are going to just disappear. It's so sad. We're all going to lose some wonderful friends.
 
JG - Thank you so much for this wonderful group! I haven't been a member for long, but I have enjoyed my stay. I'm going to stick around until you close it.
I'm also moving a group. And, I did like you have - set up test groups in several different places. Of course, none of them are like MSN. Even as quirky as it is, this was our home. I finally decided on Yuku. Eventually, I'm going to figure out how to make backgrounds there. I know it can be done - just have to figure it out.
 
A lady in one of my groups posted a message saying that Corel is working with some site (she didn't say which one), so that a site just like MSN can be set up. I'm hoping that they really do come up with something!
 
Big hugs, JG, and lots of love!  Marsha

My Dear Sweet Friend Jewels!
 I am going to be here doing what I can till they shut us down as I told you in my E-mail! Please dont be so broken hearted as I know a lot of us are- this has been our lives for years.........But just remember "the show must go on".. Now I have set up a temporary group in Yahoo if anyone wants to join there till Jewels gets hers set up( with my help of course) !!

 I have already joined Your group Jewels , so that we can work on it together ( in Aimoo) if you like - 2 heads are better than one you know,hehe.
 I will miss so many of you I cant tell you!
 I just hope you decide to stay with us( via my group)and then when Jewels and I get Our New Home set up - we will all just migrate there.
Peace my Friends and go with God!

Jewels you broke my heart  I'm so sorry to see you close down. I just
have a friendship group but I'm there until MSN deletes us. I know MSN
doesn't care but as someone said in a previous post, saving all my tags
and website stuff is going to take forever. I only have them just now
posted so I can go back and save them to upload them to Photobucket. And I had several groups that I had them in. Oh boy
what a job it's going to be.
I also wanted to thank you all for praying for me when I went through
Chemo. My last chemo was August 18th  September 5th I was told I
am cancer free. Woo hoo!! Your prayers meant alot to me. Thank you
I'll be checking back to see where you end up at. I want to go too
hugs GrannyBev

Awww Jewels hon....I am sooo sorry that this has gotten you to the point of giving up something that you have worked so hard on.  I know the time and energy that goes into these types of groups...it holds a part of you for sure.
I am setting my group up in Aimoo with another friend...and under a new name...so making a fresh new start.  Aimoo has set up a tool to move your group over for you from MSN..so that will be a big help.  All the backgrounds will work there and that is what I was looking for.  Another group that will hold them is Google...but I do like Aimoo better.
But hon...once you take a break from managing a group and catch your breathe again...you may want to pick it back up...and I know that when and if you do it will a tremendous success just as you have made this group.
You have my respect and admiration hon for all that you have done and for all that I know you will do...and I truly hope to keep in touch...when you pass on the link to your storage group I would love to have it too...if you wouldn't mind having one of your favourite lurkers there.
All the very best my sweet friend....HUGS Artlor (Lorraine)

My dear friends for all your kind words as i told you i have groups set up
everywhere trying to find one that is easy to use for you all and still be able
to have all the things we have grown used to in here. Aimoo seems to be the
best so far so i am madly working on that one in the hopes that if i do decide
to start a new group it will be there waiting..I am still not convinced that i
even want to go on somewhere else but my dear friend Annie has
said not to
give up that the show must go on and she has checked out the one at Aimoo
and she seems to think that between the two of us we could make a go of
that one.. But i am still not convinced but i will still
keep my options open..
Aimoo has also announced that we can now migrate our MSN groups over
to them so i have applied to do that i just hope it goes well i don't want it to
be like it was with "Multiply"..
I couldn't find a thing there and it was such a mess..It should all be done
shortly so fingers crossed that it works.So maybe there is still hope for us yet
of course it will never be the same as this one but life goes on i suppose and
we all have to accept that..(Even Me)..LOL
So keep checking the group if i do decide to start up a new one i will put
the link to it here in
 "Messages"  before i officially close this one down on the
30th of this month.
((Hugs~JG))
