Its actually quite bad if people just see the truth of what just happened. Its very clever in fact what they have done. Firstly you have the mini, you see the small price and think great, but hold on a minute, only 150 members, no uploads of any kind, only 3 text boxes on the home page, no support apart from the community, no help centre included at all. No pages no groups, no chat.. (no point) and you are paying for that no matter how little it costs, you can get more for free elsewhere. They have made it like that on purpose so you have to at least go for the $200 a year package, still no uploads of any kind, but they kindly throw in the help center for support, So all you have left to get the ning you are used to is $500 a year. Wow, what!!!! are you kidding, i can go and buy one of the best social networks around and host it on my own private server for that sort of money.... This is really bad unless of course you have more money than sense... Its crazy...
WE WILL STAY ON TOP 4 ANY BETTER CHANGES.
