Nicky For myself, I want arachne to go on existing forever. It is the most valuable general lace discussion group on the internet, as far as I can see, and I belong to several.
The discussions about ning, facebook, bobbinlace at google, bobbinlace at yahoo are all about the capability to insert photos into comments. This would make arachne a site for real teaching, as well as discussion. Some of us are a little frustrated that giving detailed help to beginners is very awkward because we don't have that photo capability right in the software for this group. I personally find the community webshots account that arachne has is clumsy and slow. There is just too much advertizing and pop-ups. It slows down page loading way too much. Ning is a host for social networks which has created their own software, and it is wonderful in what it can do. All the platforms (I think that's the word) I mentioned in the 2nd paragraph have photo capability right in the site. But they all work differently and have different strong points and weaknesses. Don't panic, we're just talking about this. I don't want to replace arachne. I just wish it could do more.
