This means that the Whoosh! MSN Group will be deleted next year. If you have files uploaded there, you'll need to store them elsewhere and change all the links in your profiles, etc. I've not yet decided if I'm going to move Whoosh's MSN Group to Multiply or not. I don't think anyone is using it.
If you would like it to be moved for future use, post your view here.

I was looking at the new site, and it looks pretty good. But I'm still not sure about moving Whoosh's MSN Group. I'm thinking of just moving the images to a different site and letting the group get deleted.

Only so far as the images are concerned. Le used the group for the avatars and some of the forum images, so the images will need to be uploaded elsewhere and all the urls need to be changed. It's going to be a pain in the butt. 
I also uploaded PDFs of the story threads, but I don't have plans to upload them anywhere else. If anyone wants them, they'll need to save them to their computer.

I used this group to send out newsletters whenever this forum went offline, so it might be wise for me to find a new site where members can join if they wish to get important forum notices. If anyone knows of a good newsletter site, post it here. Thanks.
 Perhaps I should create a Whoosh forum blog? Ideas on which site to go with?

Yeppers, it is more my problem than a problem for the members. Glad to ease your worries. 
Members could help me out by saving their avatars to their own album and making the switch in their profiles.

Your profile image is already housed at your own Image Shack album, so you don't need to do anything. Only those using avatars housed at Whoosh's MSN Group need to do anything.

Okay, later. I'm backing up the avatars right now. I'm adding the new ones to the top of the list, and when I have them all added I'll delete the old ones. Everyone be sure to switch when you see the new one of the old one you're using listed. Thanks.

ACK! Uhm....Joxie? I'm assuming my Gams is hosted in that MSN group thingie; I honestly have no idea - I screamed help in getting it years ago, and there it was. I was kinda hoping that when Halloween was over and I put my mask away, that you'd wave the your fairy bored wand and get her back for me?

I'll have to hunt it up. I am in the process of backing up the albums, and I have until Feb 2009, so hopefully I'll get it done at some point. If not, I guess I can move the group and keep it until everything is saved.

Okay, I found it and added it to the avatar list. I'll replace the url when I've backed it up. Just search for it on the list. It comes after Proboards' avatars.
It has been backed up and added to the list. It's just before Proboard's avatars.

Okay. I have deleted all the MSN group avatars, and replaced them with PhotoBucket album avatars. If you don't make the switch in your profiles before Feb. 2009, your image will disappear.

I just took a peek at Multiply, and at some of the message boards on some MSN groups and I agree with what I've been reading in threads/posts ... Multiply sucks. So, once I've backed up everything I intend to save, I will not be moving the Whoosh MSN group to Multiply at all. I might even go ahead and delete it before Feb. 2009. Get what you want now, before it's too late.
I'm thinking I might create a Yahoo newsletter group for members to join in order to get a notice when this forum is offline. Is that okay with everyone, or do you have another preference for me getting the word out?

Thanks, Joxie, for taking care of Gams, and the Yahoo newsletter is fine.

Hey, Joxie. Has my banner thingy been deleted? No big deal if it has been; I was thinking of getting rid of it anyway since the Zena Scrolls are history. But lemme know, so I can get rid of the red "x" that is now where the banner used to be.

I noticed it was missing the other day, but I thought maybe the server was having downtime and it would return. When I go to the page, it takes me to a different site, so AOL must be making changes to their urls.  I'm sure the image is still online, but the link has changed, so it prevents it from showing up. I think it was Trix who has it uploaded on her AOL account.  Anyhoo, I saved it to my computer a long time ago and can upload it to my online photo album if you decide you want to keep it ... if only to save it to your computer for future use.

I don't yet have all the images moved to my PhotoBucket albums, but I think I've switched all the image links on this forum, so hopefully everything is okay on that end.

I just have two albums to move and then I'm done. Bye bye MSN Whoosh!  What a nightmare.

Well, MSN groups are now gone. Due to losing lights and not finishing the task of moving images, those two albums are now gone forever into the internet abyss. As far as I know they weren't Whoosh related. They belonged to a member who hopefully saved them to another online album. If not, then perhaps they still have the images on their computer.
