Their database is connect all users from every ning ran network. They charge you $25 to remove ads, $25 to remove their promotional links, $5 to point to your own domain, and $10 get quick support a month. On top of that if you go to a ning site even when they've paid to remove the sponsor links on users pages it'll still say "you must join this ning network in order to post a comment" which is promotion. Ning is not seo friendly and because every ning site layout looks about the same people will be able to tell it's a ning site right away and because the database is connected with all sites your members will wonder why their info is already in your site if they've previously joined another ning site. And the worst thing is that once your members find out that they can create their own ning network they probably won't be coming back to your site very often or at all.
