"For now, don't worry about it - I'll pay the $20 per year for a while longer.  It's more work to figure out how to deal with it than it is worth to just pay it :)"

End of Free Ning - What To Do?

I have just seen the news that Ning is in trouble, have laid off 40% of staff, and will end Free Ning sites (such as this one) in 2 months time, early July 2010.



The cheapest option for retaining this site is $20/year - and it will probably be fine. That option has a maximum of 150 members, and we today have 116 here at vpascal, without large growth prospects.
