As some of you may already have heard, Ning has decided to pull the plug on all free Networks in the near future. This means that all networks will become fee-paying, the same as they did at MSN and elsewhere. I suppose we should have seen it coming, given the recession and market competition.
We are not sure what we will do here though we will shut down our Scandinavian and Deliverance networks fairly quickly. It is frustrating having invested so much time and labour into building a site only to have to keep hopping from one free network to another. This is something we can't do indefinitely.
With people here belonging to lots of different networks and so having divided loyalties I think it unlikely that many would want to make financial contributions to pay for the new Ning fees, whatever they may be. Apart from that, people are short of cash generally. Also you will be getting begging notes from most of the other networks you belong to in due course. So unless some donors come along when we announce the need for contributions, I think we can safely assume that this Network will be closing down if not immediately it becomes free-based then at least shortly afterwards. We won't be nagging you for cash as some ministries do.
Rather than join yet another free network and be told to "cough up or move on" again at some point down the line we shall hopefully be introducing some blog features into our own website after it has undergone a complete redesign and upgrade. This way we will automatically be able to save your comments for future reference and permanently incorporate them on the website. These will only disappear when the NWO finally shuts us down altogether, and goodness knows when that will be.
In the meantime, if anyone has any free time on their hand and would like to help with ARCHIVING this Ning Network for inclusion on our website, please get in contact with us. We only managed to partially archive our old MSN networks before they were closed down too. We will devise a strategy and divide up the labour once we know who wants to help- The sooner we start the better.
I am sorry to bring you this bad news - though you'll be getting it from all the other groups you belong to too. However, all things work for the good so we can only assume that better opportunities lie ahead.
If you run other groups and feel you have enough commonality with us to "combine forces" and share expenses, this is also a consideration.
Thank you for your patronage and support here over the years.
Yahweh bless
