I saw the Facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2430699616&v=wall) mentioned in another thread and went to see if there were any new entries and saw that FB has flagged the group to be archived.
This is the FB message:
This group is scheduled to be archived
Over the next few months, Facebook will be archiving all groups created using the old groups format. When this group is archived, its wall posts, photos and discussion threads will move to the new groups format, but group members will need to be re-added.
I clicked on the links that were included that provide additional information on what it means to be archived and what to do to prevent it from occurring:
What happens to my old group when it gets archived?
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."
Keep in mind that the new groups format was designed to help you share with the small groups of people in your life. If you?ve been using your old group to promote your business, we recommend you create a Page instead. Learn more about the differences between groups and Pages.
How do I upgrade an old group to a new group?
If your old group has enough recent activity to make it a good candidate for a new group, you will see a message at the top of the group with the option to upgrade. Members of the group will see the option to ask the admin to upgrade. If you are an admin, click "Upgrade This Group" to upgrade to the new groups format. Note that it may take a few minutes or more before the content from your group is converted to the new format.
If you choose not to upgrade your group or do not see an option to do so, the group will eventually be archived. You can continue using your group after it is archived. However, since members of old groups will not migrate to archived groups, you will need to add new members.

Jack, if you'd like to make me an admin, I'll go in and do what it needs, to be in the new format. If you'd rather not make me an admin, I ask that 6-5 or Shawn (I'm sorry, don't remember the matchup with Madjack nickname) please take care of it.
I still enjoy occasionally looking through the pictures from previous outings and such. I hope y'all agree it's worth keeping alive. If not, at least I tried.
