The MSN Group Mover Blog

Hear the latest updates from the team building the MSN Group Mover.

Time is running out...

Posted by Vincent Lauria on Saturday, February 14, 2009
We've been running our imports 24x7 for the last few weeks now, literally working around the clock.  Due to MSN closing in just a few days on Feb 21st, 2009, we've had to trim down some of our importing.
  • We're only importing message boards from this point foward, not Photo Gallery's and Pages, but there are tools to help you save those as well.
  • We can't guarantee you'll be downloaded in time, but we'll try our best.

Our process works in 2 Stages:
  • STAGE 1) We DOWNLOAD the message boards of your group to our servers.
  • STAGE 2) We IMPORT your group into your new home.  Please note, downloading of Stage 1 means that we have a 'copy' of your group's message boards, this will allow us to 'Import' your group into your new home, potentially after the Feb 21st closing date.  If you apply, we will send you status updates.

Happy Turkey Day

November 27, 2008
We just wanted to wish everybody a happy Thanksgiving here in the U.S.  Thank you everybody for your warm comments and feedback, we'll be releasing a beta version of our mover in just a few days.  We've spoken to many of you and have picked a small group of admins to work with for testing during this beta period.

And if you taking a break from your feast, watch this video on how to (and how not-to) behave on an internet discussion board.

Hello World

November 4, 2008
Hello everybody, thank you for all the emails you've been sending us over at lefora.com, we're listening to your requests and have started this site so we can help build an exporter/importer for your MSN Group and move it onto Lefora.  We're sorry that Microsoft MSN is shutting your Groups down, but we're hopefully that will be able to build a migration tool to make your move seemless - and hopefully a little more pleasent with new features on lefora that you haven't seen before on MSN Groups.
