If you are new here and haven't been getting updates from the ning side of
things... this is our official "transitional period" for growth and
reassessment...
Here are the Migration facts...
1. Ning went all corporate and sold us out... therefore community needed
to move ...
2. Kath decided to move us to grou.ps
(http://grou.ps/artactionunioncommunity/home) and has already migrated all your
user data to this new groovy pad ... YOU SHOULD STILL HAVE THE EMAIL
NOTIFICATION TO LET YOU KNOW YOUR DIRECT MIGRATED LOGIN URL ... PLEASE USE THIS
TO FIND YOUR EXISTING PROFILE
If you can't find it... send me an email at contact@artactionunion.org with
your user name for the Art Action Union and I will send you a direct link to
your profile page.
FACTS ABOUT THE NEW SITE:
* Grou.ps is in Beta mode still and there are a few bugs and they are a
small team, however the features they are planning to offer are the best I have
seen for a free platform ... I choose to support them in their rise and they
have also already offered some support to us in a promotional sense (more on
this later) ...
* Grou.ps is in Beta and therefore will be building their future based on
feedback from the communities that use it... SOOOO don't be shy to tell me how
it is... if you are having issues with anything on the site at all... let me
know at contact@artactionunion.org or send me a private message at the new
site...
* Grou.ps like the site on ning, is just as much an experiment as
anything I have ever attempted under the Art Action Union concept - I encourage
your critique, participation, patience and understanding ... I encourage you to
INSPIRE!!!
REGARDING ALL YOUR AWESOME CONTENT
I have received confirmation from ning that they have received my request to
migrate all your work to grou.ps ... the content will become available for me
to download and will then me sent via email to grou.ps administration ... what
happens then is anyone's guess... I want you to trust me that all your work and
artwork and words is in totally safe and trustworthy hands
NING SHUTDOWN ...
I have been saddened and heartened to see that our members are continuing to
add content to this site... at some time however... this will have to stop and
I have to cease accepting new anything ... this will be very soon... I have
placed a moderation setting on everything and am likely to redirect anything
new from today on via an email to your new space at grou.ps ... I AM HERE FOR
YOU!!! IF YOU NEED ANY SUPPORT WHATSOEVER GETTING STARTED OR FINDING ANYTHING
JUST CALL ON ME! AND I'LL BE YOUR FRIEND
THE FUTURE OF artactionunion.org...
I am re-assessing all of this stuff in html... the site has been down for about
two weeks due to server issues and I am thinking of moving the domain to a new
host...
This largely doesn't affect much except it is our front door mat - and I have
some promo coming up to do for you in the next week or so so I am looking to
sorting this out asap... and I will have to pay for it
UPCOMING EVENTS...
I have an Art Action Union market stall coming up in the next few weeks, hoping
to get the word out there a bit in my local community about your wonderful
contributions and perhaps even make a little money to fund my effort... I
have some merch coming soon so I am trying to figure out how to sell art action
union stuff to further the cause ... more on this later when the internet chaos
ebbs a little BUT any suggestions or help you want to offer is
greatly received ...
