I’d actually setup that network quite a while ago to play around with Ning. I like it, but have a few issues with it in regards to GeekSouth.

1. You have to pay $4.95 a month to use it to host your own domain.

2. You have to pay yet more ($19.95) to get rid of the Google Ads that Ning puts on your site.

3. So far I haven’t found a way to import all of the content that we already have here. Maybe that shouldn’t be big deal, but I really like having the history. That being said, I haven’t dug into it really deep yet…. there may be a way to do this.

So, we are going to be almost $25 a month to host the site. Unless we don’t care about ads which leaves us at around $5.

But I’m up to discuss it more. I’d like to setup a separate meeting sometime at the end of summer for us all to gather around and really hammer out what we want to do.
