By default, Ning reserves the right to run ads on all social networks hosted here. I can choose to remove the ads on the fibromyalgia network or, alternatively, run ads from any advertising network with this option. I don't really want the ads but Ning charges $19.95 per month to have them removed. I don't have that kind of money and I started this project with no intention of commercializing it.
I want to get the pulse of the community. Do the ads detract from the stated goal of the community? Do members find them unappealing?
