The Death of Ning Networks!

  As we announced in April; we are migrating our Ning hosted networks to our new home at Spruz. We are pleased to say that we are finishing up this migration and plan to wrap up this exodus somewhere around the middle of June. Having said that, we have scheduled a date for demolition of our old Ning networks. We believe that to avoid confusion of where to find our new networks and in the rights of privacy that this is a necessary step. We know that Ning will take control of free accounts in July and this could lead to your private information becoming a part of the Ning agenda to turn a profit. So to keep from having your information from falling into the hands of a greedy corporation where the bottom line is how much of a return the investors are receiving; we will be deleting our Ning hosted networks on Monday June 28, 2010.

   This demolition will include all greyeyesgabriel international networks hosted on the Ning platform. If you are a member of these networks you will need to follow the migration link to our new Spruz hosted networks before Monday June 28, 2010. By this point, ever member should have been notified by email about the changes. If you have posted content to the Ning networks, then you will need to migrate your content as well, Ning has not provided developers with a way to migrate content, just member data. After Monday June 28, 2010; all content remaining on greyeyesgabriel international Ning hosted accounts will be deleted and pass into nonexistence. We hope that you all will migrate with us; however, whether you do or not, your profile and all content will be gone after Monday June 28, 2010.

  We hope this migration has not been too much of an inconvenience for our clients and we have taken measures to ensure that this type of thing never happens to you or us again. We look forward to you joining us in our exciting new home with a young company, like ourselves, and growing better than ever before. We look forward to growth and opportunities that Ning would never offer to free or paid account holders and hope you come along on the ride. See you at our new home at Spruz, and thank you for supporting the greyeyesgabriel brand.

Ning: “Pay or Leave!”

As some of you may have heard through the media by now, Ning has decided to no longer support their free platform. They will be releasing new "affordable pricing plans" on May 4th for the now free Ning Network Developers. I will not get into any feelings or ill regard for their logic "business decision" or enter into the politics of the corporation; this is just an announcement for the friends of greyeyesgabriel.

 
As you may know, greyeyesgabriel international has many networks rooted in the Ning platform and this announcement that first came out in the blog on April 15; which I did not hear about until April 22, from an online tech source; has put greyeyesgabriel international and all of it's subsidiary companies in a very tough position. So greyeyesgabriel international has decided to end all affiliation with Ning and move to another provider for our social networking needs. We will be developing the networks as quickly as we can; however we ask for your understanding and patience during this migration, as we are a very small web upstart.

We have the ability to migrate your member information to our new network provider; however, Ning has thus far retained rights to the blogs, photos, music, forums, and all other additional information added to the network. You can rest assured that after the migration is complete and you are comfortably in our brand new home at greyeyesgabriel network on our new platform, the greyeyesgabriel network on Ning will be deleted and all information destroyed.

We apologize for any inconveniences that might occur or that have been caused by this business decision; and we hope that you decide to remain with the greyeyesgabriel brand for your web needs. We are currently looking at several very promising platforms and will notify everyone when we decide which company we will be moving to, until I talk to you again; thank you so very much for all of your support of the greyeyesgabriel brand.
