viddingThe only other major network to host vids on the Ning is no longer active. All remnants of the site have been replaced with a page advertising the availability of the original domain for sale- http://buffytube.ning.com
I don't want to express my own thoughts about this lest I say anything inappropriate but feel just saying that in and of itself is the little latitude I'll allow myself in expressing my thoughts on this. I did connect with the admin of the site a while back and was able to successfully back up the network using the archive tools that were available for Ning Networks to back up their content . (Full disclosure: I am the admin at Vidders.net - a fellow fandom Ning Network). I backed up many years site content available for back up including blogs, discussions, photos, vids including comments and video descriptions, etc. The data has been frozen in Carbonite using the same process used on Han Solo on Cloud City. (I reserve the right to delete this attempt at humor and this parenthetical statement if it receives a negative response from fans of Han Solo or Cloud City residents)
To my knowledge, the site was removed without any notification to members as I am a member myself and did not receive a site broadcast message about this. I only discovered the site no longer existed through casual searching. I don't know the reason why the site closed down.
