It just takes hard word and a firm belief in what you want and what your vision is. BP provides enormous potential in the right hands. The company that finds true success using BP will take the platform to new heights with developmental data and increasing funding for developers. That's what I'm trying to do myself, anyway. ;-) Good write up! All the best, Thomas @ PRLuv.com Franky has a pretty decent idea up there. ;-)

Page.ly is great but I think $15/month is too high to jump in. There will also be a flow of people going towards self-hosted because they want more options and freedom.

With this change people tend to look around and see what their options are. BuddyPress is a solid option now. But granted, if you really want a awesome BuddyPress site you have to spend some money there too. Whiners will be whiners anywhere.

Those who are complaining now are the freeriders. If they had an active community the Ning prices were interesting enough to generate a return from Adsense. The whiners are mainly those who even don't want to pay for hosting. No they won’t. Those who are complaining now are the freeriders.

I can't wait to start building BP sites and how crazy is it that Ning quit doing free options? Looks like I may have some work to do for some people.
