I've deleted my old Ezboard forums, which I'd sadly abandoned long ago.
I'm very excited about the new Ning platform. You can use it to create your own entire social network. Each network can have its own discussion forums, groups, member profiles, etc. Not to be a control freak, but this will give me a lot more control over the way the groups and forums work. Way more so than Myspace.
I'll be looking for very experienced moderator volunteers (over age 21 please) with at least three years experience moderating well-known community forums. I can use all the help I can get to keep posts on topic, discussions flowing, and remove spam and troll postings.
I haven't done such a good job with my eBay groups, nor with keeping up with the Ezboard. I really want to be better about working daily on the Darklinks website and network both. I love doing it, and get frustrated when RL gets in the way of my favorite hobby! I definitely think this Ning network is a great way to meet the readers of my community. I can look at the traffic stats, but that doesn't tell me who you all are, you very patient souls who keep coming back despite my infrequent updates and dead links.
Please come visit me on the (so far very empty and skeletal) Darklinks Network:

You'll need a Ning profile to join the Darklinks network.
