Jim Kinson said… Hello John, I really want to get involved in this sandbox. I have a friend that is really excited to dive in and set up my net work. There have been so many conversations about this and that. I meant to call Ning yesterday to get this answer strait from the horses mouth, but things came up.
I know that we have been told there is a 14 day free trial. Others are saying 6 months. What is the deal? I cannot afford 2 bills from Ning, at the present time.
Thanks, Jim

irgeorgepecore said… - Hi NING Admin,
I wish to open my account but NING block my network . How can i manage my network & message all my members that our network will be deleted soon? The deadline is now approaching, and maybe if carried away by emotion we will let it disappear! NING is too much strick with the their network. How can we help the world of hunger if that's our mentality? Dollars in here is to heavy & the Exchange rate is to high. It's a BIG blow for Filipinos who are not working in the United States. Remember, we're not in the US, so let us not treat equally! The site is very educational compared to others who offered a free network! Actually, we can pay that but the problem now is we can't eat anymore. We're just trying for a MINI PLAN but still clarifying our BA as of this time.
