Thank you for your patience over the past several weeks. As you know, we closely follow and appreciate the feedback you share on Creators, and we’d like to make a couple of important announcements related to your posts.
First, regarding the product, the team has been working over the last several months on re-architecting and re-developing a new Activity Feed for Ning 3.0. The new Activity Feed will include the addition of statuses and more embeds based on pasting links into the status field. This isn’t everything that the team is working on but the most significant short term new capability. We are planning to release this feature in July.
We also wanted to address the downtime that some of you experienced on May 26th and 27th. After the scheduled maintenance on Monday to update a group of servers, we discovered that some of the backup servers were malfunctioning. We've corrected this and have changed our operating procedures to prevent this from happening again.
On the communication side, based on several factors including resources and priorities, we have made the decision that we will no longer be involved in providing day-to-day support and feedback through the Creators community. Communication from the Ning team needs to be focused on product capabilities and new releases and other general announcements such as this one. Our team is focusing on expanding some of the planned features that we already have in development. Once we have more information to share with you, we will do it here.
Please continue to use this community as a productive place to have conversations about how to build, grow, and manage Ning Networks. We will continue to provide technical support through tickets and phone. As always, phone support is available to those with networks on Pro, Performance and Ultimate plans. Our technical support team is available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm PST.

Yeah I fell for it too. What a bunch of crapola.
Dont be too worried Edie. His last post before deleting his own account was:
What...in...the...WORLD!!!??? That's outrageous!!! To that I say good riddance then. Who has time for such asynine nonsense?
Sad. But exposure is good. Thanks Strumelia.

I want to say something gut-wrenchingly negative about Anthony and his antics. But, I'll refrain.
@Garfield, Jamie, and Strumelia,
My apologies, but deleted my reply. I feel it was something I should have kept to myself. I know the comment has already been made, but want to apologize for going there. We never know what a person is going through, what life has brought them, and especially online. I was in one of those modes where I reached my limit. But still, should have kept my counsel.
Sincerely,
Jen
@Jen Agreed.
Ah, the perfect segue... no need for us to be embarrassed for Ning anymore, that burden is lifted from us. With their now non-existent added new product features, their Cone of Silence, broken record template responses, and their unbelievably outdated "road map" they keep pointing people to, they are doing a damn fine job of embarrassing their own selves!
I think you already did without actually doing so and in the best way possible. He seemed like someone who had a balanced viewpoint but there was always an element of off kilter repressed hostility hiding behind all those words. When he took on John B for not being militant enough when he was just sharing his thoughts he made too easy for me to call him out on it. He managed the borderline well enough to even get awarded a star for using a lot of words but I will say some Ning Superstars are more deserving than others. Instead of a star I think a more appropriate visual badge would have been a burning coal.
We are all probably as angry as him about how Ning is handling things but are more sensitive about not letting that frustration spin out of control negatively impact those around us.
