You see, the problem is not to pay for the service only, but the fact that all the data you created and all the knowledge generated by the people is inside a private company's server. Yes, they promisse you can migrate off Ning, but how is that migration? Are they going to give you a .txt file with all your data? This is not migration. I guess this is very important beggining, and we should worry about it. Yes, they are interesting points, but we have to worry about it too.

I think Ning will be around in 2-3 years, It's still a great product for a lot of people even though they have to pay for it. @Jakob thanks for your comment and thoughts! @Bergholt – Thanks!

Thanks for the update. I think they need to be careful about swinging to dramaticly away from having a free service. What will make them spread and grow? It will leave space for someone to take position in the market with a free offering. Look forward to follow the drama, and how it all will evolve..for them. Look forward to the next bit of that saga.. Jakob Interesting points. Thanks for the update. I think they need to be careful about swinging to dramaticly away from having a free service.
