There is exciting news here on JM! WE have been bought by E-harmony!! There aren't going to be any major changes, and this should have a very minimal affect on us, but I think it's really great that Patty and Teresa are getting recognition for a job well done. A lot of work goes into making a community like this work, and I am thrilled that they will still be around and have the help they need to make it easier for them to run this great community.
I'll copy and post what they posted to notify us of the change.

Dear Friends,
We're writing to share some very exciting news. On August 12, 2008 Justmommies was acquired by eHarmony, Inc. The acquisition and eHarmony's investment in the site will allow us to continue growing and to reach our goal of creating the best online resource for pregnancy and parenting. Best of all, Justmommies community team and I will remain in place and continue to run the site and keep it true to our core values.
One important note for our users: in connection with the sale, any personally identifiable information that you've submitted to Justmommies has been transferred to eHarmony. This does not mean you will now have an account with the eHarmony singles service or anything like that, just that the information you'd provided to Justmommies is now in the hands of eHarmony, Inc. eHarmony will continue to apply Justmommies' privacy policy to your information, although the policy may be changed or updated in the future. Privacy was a critical issue for us as we thought about the acquisition. We want you to know that eHarmony also takes user privacy very seriously and has built a trusted relationship with millions of registered members over the past eight years.
Under the terms of Justmommies' privacy policy, you may choose to opt-out and have your personally identifiable information removed from the Justmommies database by simply replying to this email and saying in the body of your email that you want to be removed from the Justmommies database. In that event, we will discontinue your account on justmommies.com and remove the account information from our database.
We welcome your thoughts on the acquisition. We're going to set up a thread on the boards specifically so you can share your thoughts and ideas about this exciting development.
Thank You!
Patty & Teresa[/b]
