The vote on whether to stay here on Yahoo or use Smartgroups has
ended and SmartGroups won!

From now on we'll be meeting at:
http://smartgroups.com/groups/cleftclub

You can view the results at:

http://www.smartgroups.com/vote/voteelectionstatus.cfm?
GID=1102434&EID=1088755

You'll need to be a member of the SmartGroups group to see it. You
may need to copy and paste the above web address in your browser if
it is broken. Or just click on the vote link on the front of this
group's page at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thecleftclub

Most votes were done before I found out about Yahoo's plans of
cutting back on it's free features sometime in the future (see my
post about it at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thecleftclub/message/10795 )

Smartgroups offers the same as Yahoo Groups (free, mecsages can read

along with questionaires, what's new section, classified ads) except
with a lot less commercial ads and with better support :).

WEEKLY CHATS
-------

We are still having our weekly chats Sunday night 9pm Eastern at:

http://cleftclub.com/chat.html

You don't need to be a member of Yahoo or Smartgroups to join in the
chat. You can join either by using the java chatroom on that page
or an IRC client. If you are going to use an IRC client, like mIRC,
I have instructions on how to join on that page.

FUTURE OF CLEFT CLUB AT YAHOO
-------

I will still have this group's messages open for everyone to read. A
lot of good discussions have happened in the three years of being
here and it would be a real shame to delete it. I am also leaving
the bookmarks open as well.

However I have turned off the ability of anyone except me posting
here. This is to help keep things concentrated on the newer group.
