I know how you feel. There is a group on Cubits that I've participated in for years. It was comforting and familiar. Now we are making our way finding a new home on NGA. For me it isn't that much of a learning curve because I have also been on NGA for years, but others in the group are having an adjustment. Change is hard. I've always hated change too.
At this point I'm archiving what I can of things I wanted to save from Cubits down to my local computer so that it isn't lost to me forever. A lot of memories and I think of all those dialog posts as a journal of my life.
