    I'm excited about the move to Groups. I look at my Groups page every day which will hopefully remind me to update more often. I've been very, very bad about it this month.

    I appreciate all the work that goes into updating the spreadsheet. I can't even keep up with reading everybody's posts so I can't imagine having to actually track it!

    Thank you*!! I'm happy and more than a little relieved that so far the response to the change to Groups has been positive! We were legitimately concerned that doing so would close us off from being found by new people....but in the last 24 hours, I've seen more new people find us than we normally used to get the old way....and we haven't even lifted a finger to "promote" or advertise yet! :smile:

    Now if anything, my concern is....what if we grow to 2,000+ members like some of the other popular Groups have? How are we going to keep up with that level of posting?!? I'm not sure we can...or would even want to try. Do we set a cap and once we hit it, do we have to go private until a few members fade out before we can add more back up to the limit?? :noway:

    As far as the number of posts...what if we limited posting to once per week? We could have random discussions in other threads, but with one thread for distance updates, I think it would keep the work down for the admins. Everyone's so good about keeping up with their distance already, I don't think this would be much of a stretch. I sure wouldn't mind if it would help you guys out!! :flowerforyou:

    And I also noticed that when you replied to this, I got an entry on my Newsfeed that you posted here so that's good! When I tried it a couple of days ago, I did not see an entry for me on my own feed....which makes sense I guess. But I'm glad others can see it so that will help with "spreading the word" about this challenge!

    You can choose in settings whether it shows up on your newsfeed when you comment on a thread, create a new one, etc.

    I agree with having a once a week distance check-in thread. It would help the admins a ton I believe.

    Initially I agreed with that suggestion and really liked it....but then the more I thought about it, I though about how for me anyway, the act of checking in frequently before I was an Admin (daily-ish) was part of what made it successful. It kept MYAC on my brain every single day. Plus we would lose a lot of the interaction we have now which also contributes to its success. So I guess my preference would be to try to preserve how it currently operates and deal with it best we can. It may take more frequent updating by Janet, Denise and I...or it may take adding another volunteer spreadsheet updater or two. We'll see what happens I guess and cross that bridge then. :smile:

    That makes a lot of sense too. If it becomes unmanageable though, I wouldn't mind volunteering! I <3 spreadsheets. lol

    I was just saying to myself this morning, "Lorraine, you need to move your @ss&quot;.
    Lo and behold one of the first things I saw on MFP was news about this group!
    I believe they call that, serendipity ;)

    Here's to a long and happy(endorphin-fuelled) partnership! *clinks glass*
