Here is what the email received said... "Since you are an owner of at least one Google Groups group that uses the customized welcome message, pages or files, we are writing to inform you that we will no longer be supporting these features starting February 2011. We made this decision so that we can focus on improving the core functionalities of Google Groups -- mailing lists and forum discussions. Instead of these features, we encourage you to use products that are designed specifically for file storage and page creation, such as Google Docs and Google Sites."
So looks like they are just ending support for welcome message, pages or files. The lists and forums will still be available. -- Keith Aric Hall http://keitharichall.com/ http://twitter.com/keitharichall On Oct 22, 2010, at 10:53 AM, Mark Phillip wrote: Maybe you're thinking of this?
