For what it's worth, finally "heard" from someone involved with Ning, the former Ning CEO - - and (just found out today, Former of Mode Media/CEO, as well), Samir Arora. It wasn't much, but great to hear he is listening. Does this mean Ning will improve their communication dialogue with Ning Creators? Who knows? But, maybe, just maybe, they will start listening, or at least tell Ning Creators their plans for the future of this platform. Honestly, this is the first time in 2 years I have heard one word from this company, other than support calls, "...working on the issues, updates to come..." AND the announcement: Notice of 2016 Storage Limit and Pricing Plan Changes. I just wanted to share this with you all. If you want to follow on Twitter, click on one of the links, below.
@samirarora Great someone involved @Ning listening finally. LOVE #Ning but must have reliable platform/open dialogue https://t.co/QHfZbzdxSD

@Ning @samirarora You set up phone intros with several Ning Site Owners, when @ModeMedia first purchased #Ning. I thought you cared? Show it

@samirarora Thanks! We all feel lost. Had no idea you were no longer #Ning CEO. ZERO communication updates/overall. About to embrace @phpFox

This Blog post started out with sharing a very short Twitter response from the former CEO of Ning and Mode Media. It's turned into an active discussion on Ning alternatives. Join the conversation.

Hi Jen,
Samir Arora is still on the Mode Media board of directors and is the company's second largest shareholder.
Good ole Ning 2.0. I tried to move the Latest Activity Module on home page, to top. I can't move any of the feature layout boxes, tried 3 browsers, even cleared cache. :\
@Kos, thanks!
Answered you, Mr. P. =)
Jen I hope they continue to grow for you (phpfox). Thanks
@Kos, great to see you! I think I answered all I can for now, about phpFox, in comments to Troy.
On WordPress, over the years I have probably designed as many WordPress sites, as I have Ning sites. And that's a lot. I can't imagine that WordPress would ever stop being my favorite platform to design websites. ABSOLUTELY love it!
The only thing about using WordPress as a Social Community, all the dang plugins. But, realize my point of view is for the sake of Clients and the ability to design their sites in a timely and cost effective manner. If just for me, I'd probably move JenSocial to BuddyPress. And, if phpFox doesn't work out, I'll probably do that, anyway.
More about my thoughts on WordPress and using it as a Social Community:
Best,
Jen
Hey Jen, I sent you a PM, if you have a minute.
Great to see you Troy, I was focused on what I wanted to say about phpFox, to-date. =)
@Troy, wow! Thanks for sharing this. And, sorry to hear about all these bugs, sounds like a nightmare. I am brand spanking new to this. But, I'll try to articulate why I have good feelings about phpFox. And, hoping all the bugs have been fixed, or darn close. I think I will reference this discussion to phpFox, and see if they have anything to add.
Hopefully I won't be writing how horrible the experience was, a month from now. I really have good vibes about this, been evaluating software for 25+ years. Time will tell. And, I will tell you all the absolute "truths" when I have gained more time and experience with the platform.
@Troy, if you don't mind me asking, what was the huge bug? I will address this directly with phpFox.
Thanks - - fingers crossed. ;-)
Jen
KingdomX hey bro!!!!! Long time no see! Yes, I'm still hanging around Ning. Have several WP going but it's tough to let Ning go, you know. I so miss the old days............
