Actually they're not shutting it down -- but going from free to wanting me to pay $45 a month. The below is the message I posted at the Ning site: www.NSSRacing.Ning.com.
It does not affect this forum or the NSSRacing.com sites.
A little over a year ago I discovered ning.com. It allowed people to build a group web site with features like personal blogs, photos, videos, event calendars, and a lot more. All of this was free — as they ran ads in the right side bar to generate revenue.
Sadly today they announced: New plans and pricing announced! We're focusing 100% on paying Ning Networks and will begin phasing out our free service in July.
So basically after a lot of time was spent putting together a site and generating membership — they now grab you by the balls and want up to $49.99 a month — or $400 a year.
Well I'm not going to pay it. I suggest that you immediately copy any context off this site that you want to preserve. Click here for the site that will replace this one. I'm currently looking at buying server side software that will give you all of the features you found on this site.
I'm sorry for this inconvenience — as I screwed up and trusted them.
