Why would it be wonderful to move arachne to 'ning?' whatever that may be.
Leave arachne alone it's just fine where it is thank you. If you want what
ever 'ning' has to offer then set up an independent group on it and those
who wish to use it can do so.
And thank you Avital for stepping in when the discussion about teachers and
teaching methods became somewhat personal, that is also quite unnecessary.
Discuss teacing methods and what does and doesn't work by all means, it's
good for those of us who teach to hear these comments and we can learn from
them, but it isn't necessary to name and slag off people.

There is actually a bobbin lace group on facebook, with pictures already
uploaded. The problem is that somebody uploaded a bunch of Romanian
needlepoint lace photos. In other words the group's administrator isn't
trying to keep the membership on topic, and there hasn't been much
activity.
(I don't have anything against Romanian needlepoint lace, but if a group
is
called "bobbinlace" it doesn't belong there.)
We recently had some discussion on needlelacetalk about how wonderful it
would
be to put up a general lacemaking site on ning -- the platform that
needlelacetalk uses. It would be wonderful if arachne could just move
there.
The problem is that ning charges a fee. For a group as large as arachne
that
wouldn't be much of a problem, and could be handled by donations. It
doesn't
allow video conferencing, but you can put photos or diagrams directly into
your comment box as you answer somebody's question.
