Better go for the Bronze plan

Posted by: Jan-Erik Nordoen on 21 July 2011

 

Hello Naim Hoop.la Administrator:

 

Today, we changed our Hoop.la plans.  One significant change that impacts you is that we no longer support private communities on the Basic (free) plan.  Going forward, if you wish to have a private Hoop.la community, you'll need to have a Bronze plan or greater. 

 

We are writing to you because you have a private Hoop.la site that is on the Basic (free) plan.  You have ten days to either upgrade to Bronze (or greater). If you choose not to upgrade after 10 days, we will convert your site to a public site but also disable it, to prevent any private content you have from being exposed to the public. 

 

Thus, to reiterate, you have two options:

 

1) Upgrade to Bronze of greater, if you wish to keep your Hoop.la site as a private community.  You can take this action yourself in your site's admin control panel, in the "summary" section.  Just click on "Upgrade Plan".  For information on Hoop.la plans, see:  http://hoop.la/plans

 

2) Stay on Basic plan.  If you decide not to upgrade, you should convert your site to a public site. You can do this in the Basic Settings of your control panel.   (If you do nothing, after 10 days we will convert your site to a public site automatically but we will also mark your site as "disabled" only to prevent any of your content from being made public without your explicit approval. (You can simply re-enable your site as a public site when this happens, if you wish to keep your Hoop.la site as a public site.)

 

We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you.  If you have any questions, please either contact us at http://help.socialstrata.com or email us directly at receipts@socialstrata.com.

 

The Hoop.la team at Social Strata

What a dodgy company

Seems their marketing is as poor as their design capability - oh well. 

They seem intent on creating a community of people who will neither use nor recommend their services - I think it is called the self destruct principle. 



After hoopla, Clara Bow never made another film. 


Oxford English Dictionary definition of hoopla is "speech or writing intended to mislead"


Hoop La La are also the Guinness World Record holding professional circus performers

What happened to him?

Didn't Clara Bow once "entertain" an entire American Football team by herself?

A false claim apparently :

The true bit is that the USC team was called the Trojans.
