Decision Time

[Scott Monty]

Yesterday, the management at Ning (the platform on which this site is built) said that they would discontinue the free status of the site - even the ad-supported version we're running. This applies to every site on the network.

So now, dear friends, we face a choice: should we continue this site or should we shut it down? If it's the latter, is there a better place for us to meet our needs? If it's the former, what are we willing to do to allow it to continue? We're not talking about a monumental amount of money here, either.

I've created a poll to gather your input. Please take a look at the Polls section under the Members tab on the site to participate.

Thank you.

The poll does not seem to work for me.

We face the exact same situation at TheCobaltClub.ning.com and many of us have decided( after viewing many other sites) to stand our ground. We have a very good club and believe it worth paying for. So, if you like what you have here, it is worth the nominal expense. Also, with enough members "chipping in" it will not be such a burden as one might think. I think it worth it.
