Please help grow the site - it is completely interactive. Like a local facebook but more. It is free - please invite others to let it grow.

It's Ning. All you did was create a page on Ning. It's not "like a local facebook," it's just like making a facebook fan page.
P.S. Ning laid off 40% of their staff last month and has been discontinuing services trying to stay afloat.

Yes it is Ning. You don't have to join but its not at all like a facebook fan page. It's user generated content that is searchable. Locals can go on this site and sell their items, etc The tool is just fine for me and most, let's not reinvent the wheel.
You just cant fool the Tech savvy.
Catch up! Ning is on its death bead.
Why The Face is Ning.

Oh, you said
NING...sorry
Yes but Ning is exportable and free until members sign up, we can always change the service to our own. Its the community we want, not the platform. Im sure you guys would agree that its not brilliant to test the market with a product you spend a ton of money on.
Either way - this is not a tech post. Its a social one. I have 6 socialgo sites and its my preference until we have reason to build something custom. Ning just has better social apps. Just like craigslist - its not about the software, its about the membership and content. Would love to hear your thoughts on the site on this subject.
What is the goal of your social site. Seeing that we have plenty of them. I would count TulsaNow as a social site. What are you hoping to do with your social site that makes you stand out from the facebook groups, craiglist and Onesites of the world.
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Yes... But can they say they are NING..
ok - seriously. No need to join if you are happy where you are. Just putting it out there. If you go its a completely different platform. Just has more capability than existing sites. Im not selling the site platform... I would just suggest you guys pay attention to the future need of social media. One does not do everything just like one website does not either. Have a look....

So explain why the facebook page says you are a physical club:
QuoteThe Social Tulsa is the newest concept in socializing in a restaurant/coffee/bar atmosphere. Featuring a Members area with swimming pool, outdoor games, cabanas, and amazing downtown views. VIP membership open only to 500 members which allows access to all facilities and special events. Stay tuned for updates on opening day and membership enrollment.

And craigslist says you're transvestites seeking women:

Yes. I put an image up and evidently no more than an hour later I guess they set the option to kill hotlinking...I usually don't hotlink and just save the image to my own domain, but in this case...
I thought the idea of "The Social" died last year when the main financial backer backed out. They were going to buy One Architecture's space on Peoria and convert it to a club just like Grizzle's clip from their Facebook describes.
Also, I thought Amanda Dailey and her partner moved to Dallas after all her Metro Lofts developments had issues. It looks like she created the site.

I'm kinda slow on this whole internets thing, so bear with me a moment. I'm concerned that there's a possibility of spreading social diseases on these social sites. I have this...friend...who hung out on social sites a lot. One morning he went to use the bathroom and, well, the pain was excruciating. He actually sobbed and pounded the wall with his free hand until his wife came running to see what was wrong. When he explained, she was shocked, but that quickly gave way to anger. She accused him of seeing other women and said he must have picked it up from some tramp. Then she threw him out of his own house! She CHANGED THE LOCKS! SHE GOT AN ATTORNEY AND FILED FOR DIVORCE AND ENDED UP TAKING NEARLY EVERYTHING MY FRIEND OWNED. ALL BECAUSE HE HUNG OUT ON SOCIAL SITES! NOW, I ASK YOU, IS THAT FAIR? IS THAT RIGHT? I WORKED ALL MY LIFE ONLY TO SEE IT GO DOWN THE TUBES TO THAT EVIL, TWISTED WOMAN AND HER RAT-FACED ATTORNEY.
So don't get on those social sites. I'm just sayin'.

Technically, grizz, that would be a transsexual seeking multiple women.
Transvestism and transsexual aren't
quite the same thing... Unless you're Richard Simmons ;)
But what about seeking women doesn't seem 'physical'? :D

Well I wasn't sure which T word it meant, all I knew is that it didn't seem like it should be there one way or the other.
