I feel grateful that i found your site. Am in the startup of building a community based web site for my local.

I forgot how did I found ning.com. but what bothering me are question about,

” if my community getting huge., can I move it to my own server with it’s member database as well”

It is okay if I share the profit with ning, consider they serve hosting and software development, but to think ning also ‘have’ my community is just too much.

Thank for you all, I have more information and more alternative to built this community.

Going to try wackwall now =)

This is the “big news” I’ve been talking about.

peace yah…

First I will be the one to tell the hard news: You can do nothing with saved page source code. It gets created dynamically and can’t function as a website.

You are lucky if you can get some info of your members from Ning, like email addresses. Anyways, if you re-invite them to another place you’re gonna lose a lot of them. Some people will just not be excited to start it all over. This is the problem with any service like that, because each of them is a walled garden. Ning is also already big enough so it tries to play we-are-the-internet game by forcing everyone to have Ning ID and not assisting with exporting data off their database.

We feel your pain. That is why we’ve been talking about freedom and are working on new WackWall platform which will be open source. Meaning that you will be able to not only take your members but the whole application too, and seamlessly move elsewhere if you choose to. We’ll be launching the new network on October. So please watch news. Too bad we can’t help you right now and nobody seems to be able to.

I took every precaution to protect minors and people who may be offended, they still took my networks off line. I also had an advice column since I am a therapist and a SexySexpert I love helping couples make their life together more fun and teach people new techniques and ways to improve their relationships inside the bedroom and out. It was strictly on helping/educational basis, but because I had graphic descriptions and demo photos and some videos to help my readers understand and learn, it was considered a pornographic site.

I am looking for a host, I copied all my pages and html, but I can not figure out what to do with it now. Would anyone please help me in simple english. I am not a html or java wizard. In fact I know very little about this stuff. I just want my social saucy network on line again and I also want to share my wisdom and help others. Please… I need help.

In case you are wondering. If you can still log in even if your ning network is off line, you can go to VIEW on your browser (top left corner) then PAGE SOURCE when the window with the codes opens do SELECT ALL and copy it, then if you have a way do save page as, always do as HTML.

The problem is what do I do with it then?
I hate NING, I wish I had never heard about their stupid network. I wish to God, I had not spend MONTHS and MONTHS creating, perfecting writing and inviting people I like and know. I wish their whole site collapses somehow. I hate them.

Which ever network now helps me and gets my two networks on line will be advertised and blasted about how wonderful they are! EVEN on NING to help others break FREE of them, I will shout from the rooftops GO HERE, THEY ARE WONDERFUL. Please HELP ME. Ning only gave me till Sept 17 to move all my networks

Anyone who has a ning site should congratulate themselves for helping make ning rich not themselves. a Ning social network is worthless since they decided to merge all networks without anyone approval.

Thanks.
