When Ning said it will let you create a social network for anything is was in some sort of a hurry. The platform has now decided to stop users from creating a few networks and axing adult networks from its platform. Ning’s CEO Gina Bianchini cited the flooding of such networks to be burdening other networks as their ad networks don’t appreciate their existence:

Adult social networks don’t pull their own weight. Specifically, they require other social networks to work harder because they don’t generate enough advertising or premium service revenue to cover their costs. Plus, our ad partners aren’t big fans of the adult networks and therefore require us to identify adult networks or risk our healthy advertising revenue. We don’t want to be in the policing business and, unchecked, that’s where this is heading
