A few days a go I read, in one of the previous pages, that the the DG are
about to be shut down and we moving to the new Excel Forums.
Was that a false alert or what - as I still see, the present DG, breathing
and Kicking...!?
Any reliable & effective information will be appreciated.

In a nutshell the so called "discussion groups" are no longer directed
into the microsoft.public newsgroups.
 
Micky, everybody seems to have been misled by MS who said that they were
closing these forums on Jun 1/10.

However, another poster has correctly pointed out that MS said, in their
original advice, that they would phase out during the summer and end the
process in the autumn.

As to accurate information I suppose only MS can give that.
 
Everything clear now.
Thank you both.
Micky

Thank you, too.
To my opinion, if the "big transaction" will not be accompanied by
authorization to allow adding attachments to posts - MS will lose the
opportunity to elevate the new forums to a better and friendlier stage.
Most, if not all, leading forums, throughout the Net, allow to attach files
- which makes the OP and supporters lives much, much, easier/simpler.

I hope they post the link to the new forum in here when they shut it down. I
really like this forum as it is the best place to get answers I have yet to
find.

Even if Microsoft close their news servers, other servers should continue to
carry it.
