<p>I second that. Came across this discussion kind of by accident. So Ning is essentially saying without their logo on all networks and social sites of community powered platforms, their going bankrupt? I'm actually surprised. There are services out there that allow people to get paid for certain number of platform visits from different traffic avenues, with their single sign on api and ip status, they should be able to rig something up to take care of that issue.

<p>I second that. Came across this discussion kind of by accident. So Ning is essentially saying without their logo on all networks and social sites of community powered platforms, their going bankrupt? I'm actually surprised. There are services out there that allow people to get paid for certain number of platform visits from different traffic avenues, with their single sign on api and ip status, they should be able to rig something up to take care of that issue. Network creators are responsible for Ning and its bills as a part of our service? Funny, when Ning had free networks going on using a hell of a lot more bandwidth useage than now, it would seem when it was free they would be facing more bill cuts out of their budget. Add Glam media on top of it, sorry, mode media, sorry, I don't buy it for a second! Yes Glam isn't as rich as say Apple or Microsoft, but it should be able to lend a hand to a parent company, they own Ning, they bought it, and they should be involved with the problems they paid for. Now Ning has just proven me right, they failed to keep the promise of completing Ning 3.0 as promised a year and some months ago, and now with creators a kind of abandoned mess and things the way they are, I'm determined to just keep on swaying the way I always have. I decided to make a silent protest, I'm going to stay with Ning 2.0 until the last second if I can get away with it. It is my platform of choice despite its flaws and as long as Ning can keep the lights on, I will two.</p> What I find amazing?

<p>What I find amazing? If Ning would simply offer a normal FTP hosted area with a cap on disk space, their Akamai bill would go down in huge numbers. The way it is now, any image uploaded to Ning never goes away as long as the Network where it was uploaded, exists. It's just madness.</p>

<p>Basically, his post says Ning was losing money on their biggest Ning communities. He mentions their bill to Akamai each month. I did not know that Ning uses Akamai as their platform.

<p>Yeah, he's official. He just hasn't added the green emblem to his profile page. =) Actually, it's pretty cool that he jumped right in. Most corps would not do this. Time will tell, where this will go.</p>
<p>Thanks for adding the discussion.</p>

<p>I just think it's strange that HE is making this comment about the branding issue instead of a Team Green person with that little admin label on their profile pic. LOL So this is considered an official response from Ning?</p>

<p>Diane,</p>
<p>Bernard is responsible for all operations for Ning. Here's how he explained his position with the Company:</p>
<blockquote><p>While I am not the CEO of Ning (we don't have one) I am responsible for the Ning business.</p>
<p>Both Samir Arora - Glam Media CEO and myself are very aware of all your posts. I've personally read more than half the posts and comments since Monday morning and I also read and sometimes help out on Twitter/Facebook etc.</p>
