I was just on the 2010 October Knotties page and this message was at the top:

Over the next few months, Facebook will be archiving all groups created using the old groups format. Moving forward, you can create groups using the new groups format, which makes it easy to share with the important groups in your life.

When you click on the learn more link it says:

 When your old group gets archived, it will be converted to the new groups format. Almost everything from your old group will be available in the archived group, with a few exceptions.

Things that will be available in the archived version include:

• Group photos and Wall posts
• Group discussion threads, which become Wall posts
• The group description, which can be found at the top of the page when you click "See All" members in the new group

Things that will NOT be available in the archived version include:

• Recent news
• Group officer titles
• The info box under the old group picture
• The group network
• The members of your old group. You can still add new members by clicking "Add Friends to Group.

Notice that last bullet there.... we're going to loose all the members So is there a way that admins if the fb group can look into converting us and then readding everyone?

seems as though it's been "upgraded" and I seem to still be there.  Unless I'm on some different one.

You must be a member of another group....the one im a member of says the whole upgrade thing....

Becca we wont lose the members...only if we get archived, as long as we save it we'll be fine. that last thing you bolded? Is whats only availible in the archived version.

Just wondering then.. how would I know which one I'm a member of?  I know... I'll post "allo" on the wall and see what happens.

Ooooh okay. So it sounds like we'll be okay as long as one of the admins upgrades it? yay!

If the admin of an old group decides to upgrade, the group will be converted to the new groups format. If the admin chooses not to upgrade, the group will eventually be archived. Almost everything from the old group will be available in the upgraded group, with a few exceptions.

Things that will be available in the new group include:

• Group photos and Wall posts
• Group discussion threads, which become Wall posts
• The group description, which can be found at the top of the page when you click "See All" members in the new group
• Members of the old group will be migrated to the new group

Things that will NOT be available in the new group include:

• Recent news
• Group officer titles
• The info box under the old group picture
• The group network

Once the group is upgraded, members can:

• Chat with the whole group at once
• Share photo albums
• Poll the group with questions
• Connect off Facebook using a shared group email address
• Create group docs to share information
