I received this from Google Groups and thought I better share this
with everyone before it all happens. If you've noticed already the
intro page has changed here......

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.
For example, you can easily create your pages on Google Sites and
share the site (http://www.google.com/support/sites/bin/answer.py?
hl=en&answer=174623) with the members of your group. You can also
store your files on the site by attaching files to pages (http://
www.google.com/support/sites/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=90563) on the
site. If you’re just looking for a place to upload your files so that
your group members can download them, we suggest you try Google Docs.
You can upload files (http://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?
hl=en&answer=50092) and share access with either a group (http://
docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66343) or an
individual (http://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?
hl=en&answer=86152), assigning either edit or download only access to
the files.
You are the owner of the following group(s) that use(s) a welcome
message, pages or files:
Let's Keep Talking About Men in Trees
Starting in January 2011, Groups will no longer allow the creation or
editing of welcome messages, files and pages; the content will only be
available for viewing and only existing files will be downloadable. If
you would like to keep the content currently on the pages and files
sections of your group, we highly encourage you to export and migrate
it to another product. In February 2011, we will turn off these
features, and you will no longer be able to access that content.
To make this move easier for you, we have enabled a one-click method
for downloading a ZIP file containing your welcome message and all
pages and files. Download these ZIP files by clicking "Download all
pages" or "Download all files" on the pages and files homepages of
your groups.
Thanks for taking the time to read this email and for using Google
Groups.
Yours sincerely,

I am confused. What does this mean, and what should we do?
