Sincerely,

The AIM Groups Team

Wanna comment on Pixnay pages, not just in battles? Done.

Feel like sharing more about you or dropping a caption to go with your super-hot picture? No longer a problem. Just sign in and make your changes for all to see.

We've even thrown in a new set of ratings. From Pixnay's Finest to Crazy Hot to Way Cute and points between, it's now much easier to ID the who's-who players around the community.

Keep sending feedback and ideas, and we'll keep working night and day to make Pixnay faster, smarter, more personalized, social and fun.

Check out pixnay.com today! Five million votes, 50,000 comments and counting...

Introducing Pixnay -- the newest (and, quite possibly, the sexiest) member of the Community Applications family -- where you can rate hot guys and girls and share your pictures too!

Ever play "who'd-you-rather" with your friends? Of course you have and so have we. And, oh yea, people have played it with you in mind too.

Pixnay is a way to check out, judge, and voice your opinion on more people than you can cram into your college student center or local mall for a day of people watching; it's a simple game where players face off in randomized (within the age/gender categories that you set) her-or-her/him-or-him battles of hotness.

Real-time stats are shown, keeping players honest. Comments are made, keeping players humble (or inflating egos). It ain't always pretty, but the competition can be beautiful, especially when the players are.

Wanna see how you'll do? Think you have what it takes? Then you can climb into the ring and compete too. Ding, ding!

Check it out at pixnay.com and send any thoughts, comments or other feedback to pixnay.com/feedback.

Hello Boards Users. We are finished with our database migration. Access to all your favorites and preferences should be readily accessible now.

Thank you for your patience!
Happy Posting!

Hello Boards Users. Wanted to give you a quick heads up that this weekend, we'll be migrating our boards database behind the scenes, which may cause strange behavior between 10PM ET on Sunday, 2/10 and mid-Monday 2/11.

This is what you can expect. Your saved preferences, favorite boards and signatures will be unavailable during the migration. You will also not be able to save any preferences changes during this time. Rest assured that they all will return as soon as the migration period is over on Monday -- at least that's what they tell me.

You will be able to read and post while all this is going on.

We're sorry for the inconvenience!

After nine years and three months, today is my last day at AOL. It's been a wild ride, lots of fun, and a tremendous learning experience. Besides working with such great folks, where else could one have the opportunity to run such a large community operation and get to know some of the most interesting, savvy, and committed community members in the world? I will miss you, more than you know.

But... other opportunities, both personal and professional have been calling and the time is right for me to move on.

My AOL e-mail box will not work after today, so if you want to stay in touch, feel free to write to NYMeng@aol.com. You can also keep track of my daily activities by reading Hummingbird Mind.

Before you ask what I'll do with myself, I have some plans. Here's just a short list:

* Sleep
* Exercise
* Read
* Play with my new granddaughter
* Fish with my father
* Walk the beach
* Focus on the youth oriented non profit I started last year with some other parents
* Take many road trips
* Complete a book I've been writing

That's just a start. I plan to take off at least a month before starting some consulting work I've been offered.

I'll also still visit AOL communities, so if you see me online, feel free to ping me.

It's not goodbye, it's so long and see you soon.

-Nancie

P.S. Be good!
