The future of this group. 43 posts. Created at 07:18 on 15 May by James Lockwood # James Lockwood I have just been informed by Helen that this message is displayed to admins (except me) whenever they visit the group: "This group is scheduled to be archived Over the next few months, Facebook will be archiving all groups created using the old groups format. If you would like to continue using this group, you can upgrade to the new groups format, which makes it easier for members to connect and share." To be perfectly honest I find the new group format very irritating indeed and am therefore going to leave what happens to this group up to you. Option 1: Allow the group to die a dignified death and become archived. Option 2: Convert the group to the new format and carry it on. One group member = one vote. Vote below: on Sunday · Delete Post # James Lockwood Oh by the way, voting will carry on for 48 hours just so that everyone who might want to vote can have a chance to see the message. So I will take a count on Tuesday 17th at 3pm. on Sunday · Delete Post # Franken Furter Keep it going James. on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # James Lockwood I will take that as a vote to keep it going then ;o) on Sunday · Delete Post # Hardly Anyone Yep, same here, keep it going! on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Neil Johnson Kly yep keep it going bud on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # James Lockwood lmao it said "hardly anyone replied to your post on a discussion board" like it very clever lol on Sunday · Delete Post # Angus Fraser keep on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Hardly Anyone :D on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Jenny Lancaster keep up the good work........ :) on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Lee Marchant keep it going on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Richie Madashell Keep! :) on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Matthew D. Hoel Keep. on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Juliete DeAraujo Cook YEAH lets keep it..I regularly share the group on my wall and in other groups...I think more than anything and specially with the current political situation that we start to use it a lot more. ~:-) on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # James Lockwood I am jumping the gun here a little but it would seem that people are in favour of keeping the group however, the new group format is total bollocks (no discussions, no group messaging (every sodding post that anyone makes is a notification, which for me dilutes the whole thing down) compared to this one so I am considering a like page as well and archiving all the discussions from this group myself as they will be completely lost if this group gets converted. I am open to suggestions. on Sunday · Delete Post # Juliete DeAraujo Cook I get what your saying now.. In the new format you can choose how much information you want to be sent to you though...there is a sort of 'settings' which you can chose to be notified at each post or just occasionally..etc etc..but i get how shitty it is not to have a discussion board. I think what you're considering is a good option ~ on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Sarah Kerr keep it going James, this is a great group :) on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Robby Adams Maybe set it up as a fan page. Unfortunately no discussions or group messages, but statues will appear in peoples news feeds. It would be sad if this is the end for this group. You've done a lot of good work and I've pointed a few people in your direction. Thanks for your hard work whatever you do :) on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Joseph Roberto Gunawan follow the tech on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Brian Ratzinger KEEP IT!!!!!!! the new format is going to be a bummer, however the only thing worse than putting up with the "lesser" new group format would be to not have a group at all. They would want you to give up on the group, I say F that........ Keep the group going for sure on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Brian Ratzinger im not a facebook wizzz or anything, but is it possible to make the group a person instead that we can all befriend......would that solve anything on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Joseph Roberto Gunawan :D save the old content using an capture page into jpg or png format move to new group, upload those captured.. live must follow the tech on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Les Dorrington Keep it PLEASE on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Carl Cunningham Keep it going on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Anton Harding Is there any comment or discussion here that would be lost on moving? Keep this and start another. on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Sarah Kelly Keep it going. on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # James Lockwood "Is there any comment or discussion here that would be lost on moving? Keep this and start another." -As far as I am aware all discussions will be lost (unless somebody goes out of their way to archive them) as they are not a feature of the new group format. Allowing this group to be archived and starting another in the new format, perhaps alongside a fan page and/or a like page of the same name or something alone these lines is an option. Also, I would like to thank everyone for their kind words. This group has been around for years now and it would be a shame to see it go as it is pretty much the only one I have seen which has not completely descended into anarchy which I think is an achievement in itself!!! To be honest, facebook is becoming annoying and tedious for me and this is the straw which has broken the camels back. I do not see it being fruitful to carry this on for much longer however, I will carry this group on in one form or another whilst it is still relevant but like I say, I can't see that being much longer. on Sunday · Delete Post # Joseph Roberto Gunawan i suggest we move it to the real thing such as real website on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Jim Cooke Keep it, especially now when the system is on shaky ground. on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Tim Smith option 2 convert!!!!! on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # James Yabo keep it going m8! on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Nadia Volodymyrivna Cohen-Hamer Keep, please. on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Gordon Pye Change it into a like page, notify all members of such on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Wesley Alfonso Kitikonti keep it going, link in some how with the http://endtheboe.ning.com/ and MPE on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Dean Shaughnessy Keep on exposing the money beasts! THUMB UP on Sunday · · Report · Delete Post # Jamz Freeman Stapleton KEEP IT GOING on Monday · · Report · Delete Post # Nick Aucote Yes, I think it would be a good idea to keep it going, mate. The discussions here are rarely used and could be held, potentially on another website; which i think someone allready mentioned. It's about the only group i keep track of these days. The 'my groups' thing dissapeared off my profile ages ago, and i've been unable to fathom a way to get it back. on Monday · · Report · Delete Post # Helene Zeitgeist Leeds keep on Monday · · Report · Delete Post # Johnnie Sands Keep 12 hours ago · · Report · Delete Post # James Lockwood I doubt Facebook with it's mighty arrogance will listen, however this is worth a try I reckon: "Save Our Facebook Groups" http://www.petitiononline.com/FBGroups/petition.html 3 hours ago · Delete Post # Joseph Roberto Gunawan done voting, now what ? 3 hours ago · · Report · Delete Post # James Lockwood Deciding in what form to carry the group on. Either this one can be archived and a like/fan page can be started (which I am doing now actually to see if it will work); or this group gets converted and carries on in the new format. Should we have a vote on that too or should I just decide it what you reckon? 2 hours ago · Delete Post # James Lockwood Here is the like page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Bank-of-EnglandCentral-Bank- Con/110355655719758 I am in favour of this, I can't stand the new group format but am open to suggestions. about an hour ago · Delete Post 2011 UK census preparations 24 posts. Created at 06:45 on 23 January # James Lockwood They are preparing, so should you if you plan to not join in: https://censusjobs.co.uk/fe/tpl_census01.asp?newms=info44 https://censusjobs.co.uk/fe/tpl_census01.asp?newms=info45 https://censusjobs.co.uk/fe/tpl_census01.asp?newms=info46 A couple of tools at your dispersal are a camera and perhaps this: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=10136282302&topic=18097 and this http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=10136282302&topic=18097#!/photo.php? fbid=111010978325&set=o.10136282302 and this: http://www.met.police.uk/about/photography.htm (remember, you do not need any ones permission to film anywhere in a public space and especially not if you are filming from your own private property (even if you rent your property)). I am now going to research all the relevant laws regarding the Census to establish what 'the law' 'requires' of you and will post my findings here.
