Ahhh that's what I was getting a tad worried about. So when we have moved, all we need to do is come here and we get re-directed

I don't see it being a problem.
Thanks, guys.

I've taken Karma's advice and bookmarked the forum cos I don't see me using all the other apps.

The first place we we at. .

Now, that place AND LiveCloud are all owned by our current hosts who were already planning to branch out their business and create a media type community [from what I gather] so they welcomed us and set up this place as a temporary measure away from their Support forum until they had sorted the other stuff out..

Now that they have their commercial site up and running they are importing us into it. . The style of the commercial site is different to their Eve forums so they are changing over our format..

The most important thing tho is that you don't ever need to visit the blogs or walls or FB type stuff over there all you have to do is keep your links to these forums and you will automatically be directed to the new forum format when it moves over. . You don't need to know or be bothered that it is being hosted elsewhere . . Just know that it IS being run by the same people from Eve and here..

Also we have no rights to demand anything on here at all.. we are guests and always have been.. I personally like this style of forum and would prefer if they had just left it as is but clearly that is not how it is going to be.. Obviously in order to maintain and run ALL of their Media based community it is probably easier to have it all under one roof and of the same format..

So far they have been very helpful with trying to build in most of the same functionality we have here, over there, to make the transition of format easier.. to demand rights is not on IMO.. ask questions and if they can they will help.. simples..

don''t forget tho, all you really need is the same links you have to here to carry on as before. .the forum will just look a bit different.. that is the ONLY difference to what we have now...

Yes, I will agree she has every right to ask Gaga but no-one has any right to speak on behalf of other FMs or to assume that they know what the forum as a whole wants.

I know you've said it a few times, but how do you know? Has anyone cnfirmed that to you? I'm aware that they probably won't have a great variety of designs, but why are you so sure that it will be EXACTLY like that?

I see loads of the old C4 members over there including people who say they can't get into GaGaJoy like Solero, Scrumptum. I also see Rosemary O' Neill the Groupee Founder is over there.

Livecloud seems to be a place geared towards the American teenage market. I and lots of FMs don't want twitter, Facebook or any other nonsense. Just a plain old forum to post on.

I did incidentally make it clear to Rosemary that I was NOT speaking for the community but making an enquiry on my own behalf as to whether the simple forum format could be continued with for us as a community. I hope that is clear to everyone. I, as a forum member, have a right to enquire. I did not speak for the forum but enquired about all people on this forum. As I have said over and over many of you are keen and eager for change its the ones who are not that I am worried about.

Hi Squiggs i noticed you logged off,
and had a feeling you were upset.
And as far as i'm concerned there has never been the slightest indication of you ever been rude to anyone. So, you'll always be deserving of real friends...Scotty being one of those.

No Growlybear I am CONCERNED about all the forum members not SPEAKING FOR them. Can you see the difference? Its difficult on a forum to get the intonation in what we say, I have nothing but the best intentions to everyone on here whether they like me or not. I care passionately about this forum and the people on it. I don't want to see the more confident people striding forwards and the more diffident ones just quietly giving up and slipping away.

Squiggle is expressing what she and a lot of us are equally concerned about. That`s her right!

It`s all done with the best of intentions.

I cant say i like it either, i feel a bit let down to be honest and apologise to you guys for thinking that this was going to be our home forever, i also thought that this was our home as well

I contacted them cause the format was what we are used to from C4 and will could all start a new here and feel comfy.

But...the mods havent let us down yet, they have been very helpful and top notch hosts, there is no reason why this wont be the same on Live Cloud, the forum over there isnt up and running yet so lets wait and see.

They always provide plenty of tech help for those that struggle with it and we have loads of our own FM's who will also help anybody who needs it.

We migrated as a family before, we can do it again, the whole point of coming here in the first place was that we can all stay together after C4 mugged us off...

Yeah people can write on their blogs instead of starting a thread about every little random thought that passes through their heads.

Might cut out some of the inane crap.
