As we prepare for the changes that are being put into place by Ning, we are putting together some changes of our own.

There are a number of things that we will be changing. To highlight this, we hit some of the main points here:

1. Groups have been removed. For the most part, these groups served simply as a place for people to post their offers. Under the new rules, your offers are limited to your profile only so there is no need of having groups any longer.
2. Forums - The forums are presently empty. We will re-do all of the categories and then posts must remain on topic or they will be deleted.
3. Blogs - ALL BLOGS MUST CONTAIN INFORMATION OF VALUE. Valuable information does not include all the great things your offer has for people. Most everyone knows what actually makes a great blog post so I don't think I have to outline it here. Simply put, if your blog post sounds like an advertisement, or is simply about how great your offer is, then it's NOT a great blog post.
4. DO NOT post your offers on other peoples profiles. This will result in suspension. When someone's account is suspended, they lose all of their information. Please resist the temptation. Suspensions last for 7 days the first time. The second time is permanent.
5. We are preparing a comprehensive set of rules. We don't like rules, but we've found that without them, things tend to get out of hand. All members are expected to adhere to the rules, or simply not come to the site.

We welcome each and every person to come by and make use of the site. Everyone is welcome, and it will remain free to all, though we do actively ask for donation. Once Ning has completed its transition to the new platform, those who donate to the site will get their advertising into the banner rotation.
