MSN Groups going away

[Clipper]

I just got an email concerning MSN groups. Those of us that belong to Utica Area Discussions group, will have to find a new place for that forum under a different provider, or simply get the others to come over here to the Clippers Corner forum.

Feb 9th there will be no more MSN groups.

I've been happily using Yahoo groups for a number of years. Never even knew there were MSN groups.

I'm not going to move the group to "Multiply", the new group service. If UAD was more active, I would. We had a good 9-year run, so it's time for goodbye.

I'm a member of many MSN groups along with having been manager of some of the largest political groups out there. I'd hate to lose track of some of those people.

Dave, MSN had thousands of discussion groups. some of them very large & super active.

I don't know the size of Yahoo Groups, but there are quite a few. I monitor and am a member of about twenty, mostly having to do with radio, some writing. I own two tiny groups. Wonder why MSN is ending their groups. Cost?

Stoney, sorry to see that forum go away. I only was on there for a short time, but I enjoyed some of the people there. They are welcome to come here if they choose.

9 years is a good run. I hope to see this board last that long. I have only been on-line for a couple of years, but I can't imagine a day without chat forums and emails, haha. If you and Ralph are examples of the kind of folks that were members over at UAD, we will have a ball with some of them coming here. We will simply ask them if they know you two, and if they do we will have to take a second look before approving them ,hahahaha!
