Even with the site set to registration must be approved we are looking at about 20+ spam registrations per day on a week day. Which is totally ridiculous and time consuming to deal with even when restricted. The other aspect is the reality is no educators have been posting on it any way. So here is what I want to do. I've been working with BuddyPress which pretty much works the same as Ning but we won't have the issues with spammers and it runs on WordPress so it's blog capabilities are considerably better if people want to write posts. We are moving towards offering BuddyPress on Edublogs Campus because that is what people are starting to request. So James Farmer (CEO Edublogs) has agreed to give us a BuddyPress/Edublogs Campus site to use for Etools and tips community. My belief is that we should shutdown http://etools.ning.com/ and move across to the new site. I don't want to publically announce via a broadcast on http://etools.ning.com/ that we are moving to a new site because we don't want to encourage spammers to move across. They will eventually find it but we have anti-splog tools on the site to deal with them. However, I think if we know any one has written blogs posts on the site we should offer them the opportunity to move the content before we shutdown. BuddyPress is becoming very big news -- although a lot of educators haven't heard of it yet it is increasing in popularity because it transforms WordPress into a social network that works similar to Ning, Facebook etc. I'm currently in the process of building the site and when I've finished I will let people know it is available to join if they want. Thanks Carole and here’s where I’m at.

Would it help to remove the forum and blog tools from the layout. Change its name and make it completely private. I'm happy to help out but see I'm a bit late in replying.

This is my first Wordpress site but I'm a bit overwhelmed - I can't keep all these options, plugins, and themes straight! But you can totally see the power. I guess it shouldn't take this long to setup next time either. Anyway... nice site... I'm subscribed to your RSS feed now so I'll check in more often! Hi – that’s a great tip – thanks!

You're right about how a pet project can be so hard to let go. But it's a good idea to refocus and refine occasionally. All the best with your endeavours. The picture of the puppy drew me in.
