SOME GROUPS WILL BE DEACTIVATED

Some of the groups we have been hosting will be deactivated, beginning this week. We will not lose any information, I will transfer it to another appropriate group. This is a time consuming project but necessary for a number of reasons.

These groups are not growing and activity is what drives our numbers in the search engines and with new members. Comments breed comments.

Our hosting provider NING is transitioning us to a new platform next year, dates unknown as of yet. Although the essential parts of iKC will remain unchanged to you the members, it will change how the internal parts of the site work. Again, it will initially drive more time investment to the managing members. Good news is, it will give us a mobile friendly site!

If a group is transitioning in this first round, you will see a post in it from me as of this morning. The post reads

This group will be deactivated on July 4, 2014. As I begin to set us up for transitioning to the new format our provider is offering, we will lessen the amount of groups that we host and those that are not showing activity regrettably will be the ones that need to be deactivated. Thank you for the posting. Not wanting to lose the information from here it will be transferred to ........

Comment by Jan Carter on June 30, 2014 at 7:04: It seems to be a trend right now to post in the forum verses the groups that cover more than one type of knife. Seems to be easier for folks to find the info

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on June 29, 2014 at 15:17: You know what's best for us, I know and trust in your decisions. There are a bunch in active Groups. I tried for a while to resurrect the Sharper Review Group but I had very little success. I think it's has a lot of value though. Thanks for all of your hard work.

Comment by Jan Carter on June 29, 2014 at 15:11: THE BOX FULL OF KNIVES has been "clean up" today and an alphabetical listing of the different groups in the Box has been created with direct links to each group. As a few are added, they will go into the list with links also. This should make it more user friendly!
