Hi guys,
If you’re building a new community (of which there already are quite a few), then why choose to create a site which is NOT built in SharePoint? Sorry, but I really don’t get that. Especially with all the new social features in 2013 I would expect all community sites to adopt 2013 as soon as possible. But that’s just my humble opinion 🙂
Hi Jasper – thanks so much for trying. I guessed this would be a no.
There’s quite an outlay in cost. If it keeps growing at this rate we will be at 5000 within a year, (100 / week). That’s quite a lot of MySites and “Social” to accommodate. We all know how SharePoint likes it’s database and disk size.
Got to say – the guys at FPWeb.net were really accommodating, but they couldn’t stretch to a full fat version of SharePoint. SharePoint Foundation wouldn’t have given us 10% of what this does out of the box. This site actually took 1 day to set-up and most of that was styling and CSS work.
Anyway, Ning it is for now then. Ning has now released v3.0 – we are on v2.0. It looks REALLY good, so we will be migrating over to that in the Summer.
