"I would support using LinkedIn for this group (and have confirmed that I am a member over there).  Generally I  follow highered topics/people on twitter, but long-range/complicated discussions are impossible on that platform. A combo of…"

"Jim Heiney from Lock Haven University shares his advice on how an editorial calendar can help keep your web content up to date and engaging in today’s blog post.  "

"We have a new addition to our OmniUpdate family. Welcome, Cerritos College! "

"Emergency Alerts for OU Campus allows you to communicate with students, staff, and the community with custom website announcements. When time matters most, make sure your website is the go-to place for info."

"This is the first time I have been here in a long time. Selfishly, I would hope that you would be able to continue the site, but I understand realities. As I re-acquaint myself, I'm seeing a lot of value in what you have tirelessly built.…"

"Hi Mark, in line with many others who have posted, first a big thank you for providing this resource for so many years. I was a keen reader of it and occasional poster a good few years ago. And I loved my Website Hero mug until I dropped it and had…"

"Have you heard about our new UX Feedback Program? Your input can directly affect the future of OU Campus! Learn more in today's blog post. "

"I want to chime in along with the others in thanking you for being a leader in our niche group! I appreciate your effort. I lean toward LinkedIn. "

"I was a recent addition and did not find too much activity here that I could leverage but LinkedIn does seem to be the logical destination.  Perhaps there is interest here and you can crowd source the migration. Migrating the content could…"

"I would be very sorry to see this resource go. I am just a one person shop at my college and feel quite a alone as far as anyone understanding the complexity of what I do. It's a wonderful thing to see people facing the same challenges I face…"

"I wouldn't feel necessary to stick with Ning if the cost isn't a burden. Facebook, LinkedIn, and Slack are all satisfactory options in my opinion. Slack is a great option for more instant communication, and you'll probably find a lot…"

"Ah. Thank you. I've just sent a request to have TAMU.EDU added to the list."

"Is this for the Slack? If so, you need to email leta@berkeley.edu to have your edu domain added."

"Regardless of where this goes, Mark, thanks for setting it up and running it all these years! I find it quite useful myself, lurking mostly, but occasionally joining in where it might help us, or I might be able to provide value. I like having this…"

"OK, I give up. I am at Texas A&M, and @tamu.edu is not listed among those allowed to create userids. Can someone either (1) add TAMU.EDU or (2) send me an invitation to uwebd slack? (clindahl@tamhsc.edu). Thanks, Charlie"

"Mark, I agree that the paid Ning site may have outlived its usefulness in light of other group media apps. Like many have stated, Slack and FaceBook / LinkedIn groups. are good options. Slack may not have as much adoption as FB or LI yet. Consider…"

"If you decide to leave Ning, please consider as an additional place to have this discussion group at no cost, the GROUPS.IO discussion group network which is free and of a very high quality. It also provides a wiki to those who have discussion…"

"There is already a uwebd.slack.com Slack group that was created back in May so that is something that folks could transition to now if they'd like (http://cuwebd.ning.com/forum/topics/is-there-a-university-web-developers-slack-group). I…"
