08> REJOIN SIOA ON FACEBOOK HERE NOW

This past weekend, the SIOA (Stop Islamization of America) Facebook group
page had this warning plastered across the top of the page:

This group is scheduled to be archived 

Over the next few months, Facebook will be archiving all groups created
using the old groups format. Moving forward, you can create groups using the
[2] new groups format <http://www.facebook.com/groups> , which makes it easy
to share with the important groups in your life....

What happens when a FB group gets archived? It loses all its members:

When your old group gets archived, it will be converted to the new groups
format. Almost everything from your old group will be available in the
archived group, with a few exceptions.

And among the "things that will NOT be available in the archived version"
include "the members of your old group."

That's why you need to rejoin, on the new page. Our SIOA group has well over
15,000 members -- they will not be moved to the "new group."

Note that some groups are given the option (a link) to upgrade. If your
group page has this link, you can upgrade and keep all your members.

So who gets the upgrade option and why? Who decides?

upgrade option; therefore, they will lose all their members. These include
[4] AMERICANS CALLING FOR IMPEACHMENT OF OBAMA!
<https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=217466661668> ; [5] Stop
Islamization of Europe <http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=20262997228> ;
[6] International Burn a Quran Day
<https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=144175452284002&ref=ts> ; [7] Rally
Point For Victims of FB-Jihad
<https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=158633814161654> ; and [8] Anti-CAIR
<https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2204617643> .

More [9] here
<http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2011/05/facebook-fascism.ht
ml> . See also some of the groups that will not be archived, and hence will
keep their membership; not surprisingly, these include the likes of [10]
Americans Against Islamophobia
<http://www.facebook.com/pages/Americans-Against-Islamophobia/13590128311728
7>  and the Ground Zero Mosque [11] Cordoba Initiative
<http://www.facebook.com/CordobaMovement?ref=ts> .

Hmmm. What a coincidence!
