Ning, Please Listen To Your Network Creators

This petition was published by stop_big_brother_ning on Mar 16, 2009

To Ning, Ning Employees, and Ning financiers,

Please reconsider your recent actions, it is not too late to make changes that will make everyone happy and that will not result in your wasting all of your network creator's hard work over the past years.

This hard work lead to your success, it led to our success and we are happy for that. You have a great platform, but it would be better if you worked on fine tuning what you are and what you promised to give.

You do not listen to our suggestions, feedback, or complaints. Instead you respond with syrupy form letters that do not answer the issue or provide any real support.

We have been unanimous in the features that we ask for but you consistently say "if enough people ask, we will consider".

Well, consider this. We do not like your new changes and none of us our proud to be Ning network owners. Many of us are looking for other alternatives or considering cancelling premium services.

The new Ning.com negates the "remove Ning Links" premium service. Our members are invited at every visit to your page to create their own networks and exposes those of us that wish Ning to be an "invisible partner"

There are also a number of us contacting lawyers to see what our options are in this situation.

Many of us think that you offer a great platform and are saddened that it has had to come to this. Plese focus on listening to your Network Creators.

We understand that not all of us pay for premium service, but a nice amount of us do. Even free networks help bring in revenue for Ning and increase your company wealth. Without us, you would be nothing.

Let Facebook be Facebook, Ning was supposed to be something different and innovative.

Signed,
Network Creators and those who think that Nings recent actions are uncouth
