Yes, that's correct. If you don't care to purchase a VIP then you just keep rolling along as you have been doing. That's not being taken away, the VIP adds more options but you do not have to partake in them to continue along as you do now.

Hi Dave is the forum going to be the same layout as these pages and will we have the same mods thank you

I can answer that Marg, same mods, different layout.

Hello Dave

Just wondering why you are choosing to charge for this VIP service, when FaceBook already offers it for free?

same content different layout

go here for an example layout...

Z.

Different layout. These forums will adopt the layout as seen on the livecloud support forums.

sorry but they are really bad for a forum. The place is good with lots of great features but that forum is slow with no way of keeping track of whats going on. i wouldnt use that as a forum. and the place as a whole does not have enough appeal to me to keep me there without a forum. I mean i can do the samne thing on facbook, more even, for free.

Hello Madam

Just play with it...I do.

it may be time to dust of the heebie jeebies id and go back to digital spy (they shout at you there though)

i'm fiddling with it now

To be honest with you, I have never understood this whole technological push to have everything "in one place".

I have my own blog using wordpress on my own webspace, I visit loads of different forums dedicated to all my many interests and I have facebook when I wish to use it or share pics.

I am quite happy to click to go to other places, it really isn't that much effort

i lurked in there a few times it seemed a cold and spiteful place to be , its too friendly here i love it

i think what im trying to say is i dont need or want another facebook, especially one i have to pay for. i have all the people i like from here on my real facebook . I want to use a forum and thats why im here.

jings i'm hopeless on FB as well

You don't have to pay for it.

Jury's out then

no you don't have too. but tell me how it is different from FB? Cos it really isn't that much, most people who have FB would prefer to use FB cos it has far better functionality that LiveCloud.

People who are serious about blogging will use better blogging software. People are here cos they want to use a proper forum, using familiar forum software.
Personally I prefer PHPBB software, but this forum is user friendly and people like it.

Yo Pete

I feel I fall between two camps on this, as I am quite internet savvy... but I really don't like the idea of another move. We lost quite few FM's in the last move and am concerned that we may lose more this time. Plus one FB is quite enough for me thanks.

You don't have to have it. Ignore all the Live Cloud stuff and just do the forum. Several others will be doing that too from what I gather.

The log-in page will still say 'log in to Live Cloud' but yo wii be able to go straight to the forum after that without having anything further to do with Live Clouds social networking side of things,

aw thanks for putting my mind at rest

yeah but fluffy fing, dave has just said in this thread that the forum will be the same forum as the support forum is now. and thats ...well...jsut not a forum.

thats what im on about, the quote you took of mine was the second one i made. the first one said 'the forums not good enough to keep me there, i already have a facebook'

i s'pose i need to wait and see ( i dont like booky place ) if i can figure it out

From the FAQ thread:-

What can I do in LiveCloud? Is it free?

You have a robust user profile in LiveCloud, at yourusername.hoo.do. With your free account, you have the option of posting blogs; commenting on other users’ blogs, integrating your Twitter, Flickr, and YouTube accounts; and participating in social groups and communities throughout the network. All of this is optional; you can choose which aspects of the network you wish to use, and you can lock down your profile completely if you do not wish to use the social features. If you are a power user, you can purchase a VIP account for $39 per year (introductory offer); this allows you to view premium content, remove advertising, create your own social groups, and upload unlimited videos and photos to your account.

Is GaGaJoyJoy going away?

No. The GaGaJoyJoy community is going to be imported into LiveCloud as a community.

Will our community format change when we are moved into LiveCloud?

Yes, the format will be updated to our new LiveCloud community format. To see what that looks like, see http://support.livecloud.com/. It contains most of the same features of the existing GaGaJoyJoy community. One important difference is that the reply with quote feature works differently: in the new format, you highlight the text you wish to quote, and then it appears in your reply. The new format also appears with fewer lines and boxes, to fit the LiveCloud style set.

When is the GaGaJoyJoy community moving over to LiveCloud?

We hope to import the content of GaGaJoyJoy into a LiveCloud community around the first week of September. Once that is done, you will be able to click the “communities” tab in LiveCloud.com and have a direct link to GaGaJoyJoy.

Will we lose avatars, posts, karma points, etc., when we are imported into LiveCloud?

No, you will not lose anything; all existing content and member statistics will be imported into the LiveCloud community.

Will our PMs be imported when GaGaJoyJoy is imported into LiveCloud?

Yes, they will be imported.

i've saved this to faves thank you
