In short, there are a lot more possible options. |
Rick,
I must have not been entirely clear on your goals for the site- the Bulletin Board format will work fine if you mainly want an umbrella site.
This is entirely your baby, so your choice. A Ning, I think, is still the ideal choice if you want a dynamic, collaborative environment. Keep in mind, you do have the option of purchasing a domain that differs from ning.com- see this FAQ- this is a fee that could even be shared among members of the Ning.
