Microsoft Responds to the Evolution of Online Communities

From: nntp on 4 May 2010 16:34 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/newsgroups/default.mspx concerning this issue. The Microsoft Newsgroup website will be made available in additional languages in the next few days.

Yes...along with PapaJohn and others I have been spending quite a bit of time at Microsoft Answers. Lots of unanswered questions in the forums...volunteers are needed. PapaJohn also contributes lots of articles to Bright Hub. PapaJohn's Hub Folio http://www.brighthub.com/hubfolio/papajohn.aspx -- Volunteer J - MS-MVP Digital Media Experience Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk
From: PapaJohn on 5 May 2010 12:33 Thanks.... as John says, we're already at the new forums. My main website page has links to Microsoft Answers for classic versions of Movie Maker and the Windows Live Solution Center for WLMM. As with most changes there are steps forward and backwards.... I don't yet know the net result. I still use Outlook Express and MM2.1 on an XP system for reading newsgroups and making movies.... -- PapaJohn www.papajohn.org "Hot-text" <hot-text(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:B5900077-6CBE-4598-AD7B-4C4A806FD9C2(a)microsoft.com... > GOOD BYE microsoft.public.windowsxp.moviemaker > > John Inzer and PapaJohn you guys always give out good and right InFo > looking forward in see you guys in the forums! > > > > <nntp(a)microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:OYD#sPA7KHA.420(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> 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.
