John Clark Director Reynard Thomson Ltd. 1384 posts 0 friends welcomed	Voices Announcement [1/3/2005 11:06:44]
	Hi everyone. Voices has been spliced off as its own website as of today, though it won't be fully operational for another 24-48 hours. We've done this so that CallCentreVoice remains impartial and to give Voices more scope to evolve without fear of running against the grain of that impartiality. A new name has been selected, and an announcement will be made once DNS, etc., updates (at present DNS is pointing to a non-place, so be patient.) The links above will continue to work in the meantime, though we'll be updating them once we know that the DNS has propagated across the net. We'll also be interested in anyone who wishes to contribute to the rebranded Voices. Please contact us if you have something to say... John
