To Devon and everyone Ning is fairly new technology, within the last ten years. It is social network software and yes, those who operate one have the ability to charge user fees.
Forum and chatroom software work in conjunction with a domain name, which a person maintains as administrator - individuals subscribe freely (with some admin control if necessary to keep out spam) just as we do for the arachne e-mail list, but the platform is web-based. Pictures, pdf files and such can be posted within messages- a forum for a lace teacher and a group of students would be ideal for keeping in touch. The phpBB (for bulletin board) software is free, worth investigating.
