MSNews Changes

art — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:54:51 -0400

After 8 years, Art is changing roles from employee to Board Member at Accelerated Cure Project. As such, he will no longer be able to commit time to MSNews on a daily basis.

MSNews will remain as a searchable resource, and Hollie will continue to do periodic postings on things she finds interesting or write-ups from conferences. However, we will shutdown the ability for users to comment and submit stories.

Users getting updates emailed to them will continue to receive MSNews updates, and new users can sign up for them, but user content will have to stop due to lack of bandwidth to police it for spam (of which there is far too much these days).
