Безопасен ли ning.com?

Ning was free up until a few months ago. They started charging a monthly fee. I initially signed up for the fee for 2 ning social networks. However, for the past month I have been trying to cancel from the website. Ning has no links that allow you to cancel your soc. networking site. They offer you the ability to cancel your individual page but the entire site, that you pay for, they don't offer a link to cancel that and they do this intentionally. I have sent several emails to Ning and have received no response while they continue to take the monthly fee from my PayPal account. Not giving customers the ability to cancel and not be charged the monthly fee is a terrible way to do business.

Ning used to be sort of fun, but now it's a paysite AND nobody goes on it. Now I thought FRIENDSTER was dead and badly-run, but Ning...wow. The idea of allowing people to create their own social networking site for free is great, but they're running it horribly. Perfect example of how not to run a site. They've been known to use bait-and-switch techniques in marketing, too, I hear. If you want your own site, go to Wikia or Proboards or Piczo or Angelfire or something. Heck, even Wetpaint! Anything but Ning.

I like the ning network. I was rather shocked when I found, during an antivirus scan that 3 of the tracking cookies contained viruses. Other than that, I think it is a good network. I hope they find and eliminate the malware, as I am certain they are not spreading it deliberately, but got hit themselves. I have heard rumors that they are discontinuing free networks. I have already seen one ning network go down. That is sad because ning offers so much. I have made good friends on a ning site: real friends. It is a joy to have them as friends. I hate that my rating is red, but the viruses were there. Otherwise, I have nothing bad to say about them. My life has been enriched by the ning network of which I am a member.

any site that allows members to add emails of third parties to send unwanted "invitation" messages is a spam and a nuisance. I am not interested in any networking with unknown friends where my email gets added to uncontrollable lists ! NOONE NEEDS THIS STUFF - PICK UP THE PHONE IF YOU WANT YOUR FRIENDS.
