Conversation on Twitter with former Mode Media/CEO, Former CEO of Ning

May 18, 2016

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.

I will continue to design sites on Ning, help maintain existing sites. BUT, I am about to embrace the new version of phpFox! I love what I'm seeing.

@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.

Comment by Writer Chick on May 27, 2016 at 7:33am: Roxy,

That's a canned response. I got the EXACT SAME ANSWER, word for word.

Comment by Writer Chick on May 27, 2016 at 7:32am: Look at this!! What the hell?? Why does it say "Our Apologies" on every Ning site tab?

Comment by Roxy FUrlong on May 27, 2016 at 7:32am: I got an answer to my message to Ning whereby I overused the exclamation point. "Jennifer" answered me back with this (I love the casual salutation):

Hi there,

Thanks for the report! Our on-call team is working on this issue right now and will get things working again as soon as possible. I also just took a look at your network and I'm seeing that it is loading successfully at my end. We'll keep the Ning Status blog (http://status.ning.com) updated with progress towards resolving this issue. We have also posted an announcement on Creators with more information regarding the recent issues: http://creators.ning.com/announcements-from-ning/update-on-may-serv...

My site worked great yesterday. this a.m. I woke up to messages from 2 of my moderators that they can't post photos and when I tried to get into My Network, got this error message:

We're sorry, we are having an issue with this page. Follow this link to the main page.

Comment by Steve Cyrkin on May 27, 2016 at 4:03am: The entire right column of my site is missing...as I see it appears to be on this site and others, too. What a disaster!

Comment by Fire-Tech on May 26, 2016 at 5:24pm: I was going to say something... but nobody is watching and I've said it a million times before.

Comment by JenSocial on May 25, 2016 at 2:25pm: Yeah, me too. But like you said, probably won't be read, except by someone based in India who can almost read a script.
