Hey folks...we're in the process of building an entirely new site using a different platform. In the meantime, this site will remain up at commonroot.ning.com.

Unfortunately, during the shift, you will lose all data from the Common Root. Why go through a rebuild then? Well, we have growing concerns about Ning's privacy and data usage policies. Furthermore, they require a substantial monthly fee to keep the site ad free. There are also significant limitations to the platform, as well as a lack of support for features we want.

We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that the new site is worth the hassle.
