Microsoft Responds to the Evolution of Online Communities
Date 5/4/2010
Starting in early summer 2010, Microsoft will begin progressively closing down the Microsoft public newsgroups to enrich conversations in the rapidly-growing forum platform. This decision is in response to worldwide market trends and evolving customer needs. Microsoft continues to invest in forums to reduce customer effort, consolidate community venues and make it easier for active contributors to retain their influence. Forums provide a healthy community environment with less spam and make answers easier to find by customers and search engines. Additionally, forums offer a better user and off-topic management platform that will improve customer satisfaction by facilitating discussions in a clean space. We understand that some newsgroups are still active, and important to the community. In the coming days and weeks, we will be rolling out tools and resources to minimize disruption to the community discussions. We are working diligently on providing additional resources and information in local languages later this week. In the meantime, please refer to the official Microsoft Newsgroup website http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.mspx concerning this issue. The Microsoft Newsgroup website will be made available in additional languages in the next few days.

Hmmm....I don't like how it is split by topic. The joy of coming here is to
read other people's questions and learn from theirs as well as our own. Christine "Gordon" wrote: "TAJ Simmons" wrote in message ... I'm confused Where will these discussions migrate to? TAJ Presumably he http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...gory/officeppt .

Yeah, and we fought to keep it that way (one group) a few years ago. Our
group is small, so one group wasn't as unwieldy as, say, Word would be if it weren't split into different groups. Oh, well. It's the end of an era. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2010? http://www.echosvoice.com/2010.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx "Christine" wrote in message ...

This is what you might call A Known Problem. Really? I'd have thunk it to be A Feature. Huh... One that's generating considerable noise elsewhere. Nice. :-) I especially like how the links to "new improved forums" suggested in the VB6 groups send you to places where they SPECIFICALLY tell you "VB6? Buzz off." Where are these suggestions, anyways? Btw, are you aware of 'softies are all under a gag order on this? I seem to be having a devil of a time getting any sort of comment for attribution. eg -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org
