Some questions =)
Ning To Jamroom
Are there lots of audio/viodeo uploads in your archive? If so, then yes, 48GB might be pushing it. Our next plan size is 96GB which would certainly be ok.
You can filter the import by time - only import content less than a year old, say. A lot of the archived Ning images are embedded in the item comments so truncating comments in threads older than a set time could save some space. It really all depends on what is in your archive already!!
If you do start with a 96GB server, and then delete or filter content, you can always 'downsize' after the import.
Some questions =)
Ning To Jamroom
Just to add to what Michael said, I've not tried the new @n8flex skins, but in principle they should work ok with imported Ning media but may not, by default, show all Ning content (groups etc.) so may need some additional template work to do that. Again, you would need to discuss that with @n8flex if you are considering using one of his skins.
You say you have your Ning2 backup ready so presumably you have it all downloaded to your PC via their archiver tool, including all media and image files? If so, check how big it is on your disk so as to assess the size of server needed. Also remember that Jamroom converts and stores additional copies audio and video files so that they will play ok on all devices (desktops, mobiles and tablets) so double (or triple to be safe) the size taken by all these files in your archive.
We do have a 'Domain Mapping' module specifically developed for Ning migrants that can generically map Ning2 urls to their Jamroom equivalent so that should go some way to resolving that issue.
Hope that helps, and let us know if you have any further questions and when you are ready to proceed.
Thanks
Paul

Add a note to Banned Items module ?
Suggestions
Thanks for the idea - We have noted it and hopefully it will make it into the module at some point.
Foxycart Shipping Costs Question
Using Jamroom
Hopefully Brian can jump in here as he is currently working on updating the FoxyCart module and may have this under consideration.
Genosis Setup
Genosis
The other thing to consider is that whilst you can have multiple domains/Jamroom sites on your server, it then effectively becomes a 'shared' server with overall performance issues should any of the domains become particularly busy. If this idea takes off with many users you may need to consider a seperate server(s) - (again, difficult to define how many 'many' is but maybe 20/30 domains on a server).
Also, you are our customer, not all of your potential users, so make sure you know Genosis well and are able to support your users directly with their questions about it.
User billing
Using Jamroom
Checkout the FoxyCart module - https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/70/foxycart-ecommerce - this allows for monthly user site subscriptions.

Embed Star Ratings in Video Player
Using Jamroom
Presumably the template that is driving the https://americymru.net/top-fifty-youtube-music-videos page has a {jrCore_list module="jrYouTube" . . . } in it. The above code needs to go in the 'listing' template that that calls. Unless specified differently in the call, the default will be the YouTube module's item_list.tpl template.

Embed Star Ratings in Video Player
Using Jamroom
OK - So where the YouTube image and its link (the < a > tag) show it your template loop, replace the code with something like this -
<a onclick="$('#youtube_modal_{$item._item_id}').modal();"><img src="{$item.youtube_artwork_url}" alt="{$item.youtube_title|jrCore_entity_string}" class="iloutline img_scale"></a>
<div id="youtube_modal_{$item._item_id}" class="modal_box" style="display:none;">
<div class="item">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col12 last">
{jrYouTube_embed type="iframe" item_id=$item._item_id auto_play=false width="100%"}
<br>
{jrCore_module_function function="jrRating_form" type="star" module="jrYouTube" index="1" item_id=$item._item_id current=$item.youtube_rating_1_average_count|default:0 votes=$item.youtube_rating_1_count|default:0}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="float:right;clear:both;margin-top:3px;">
<a class="simplemodal-close">{jrCore_icon icon="close" size="16"}</a>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>This is basic code - when its working you might want to edit it further to suit and to stylise it.

A question about moving from Ning to Jamroom
Ning To Jamroom
Copying my response to your email below -
Hi - Have just checked out your archive and it is just over 5GB in size. HOWEVER, I couldn't download any of your discussions. It showed that there were 2834 discussions to download but then errored. I tried several times with the same results so you may want to raise this issue with Ning.
Given the above archive size, and with the possibility that we can get the discussions eventially, I would suggest that our 12G Hosted plan would be sufficient for your site to working in, and to grow, along with our 15G Import service - https://www.jamroom.net/ning-to-jamroom/serviceshop/6/15-gig-ning-site
When considering the move to Jamroom please checkout the "What Does/Doesn't Get Imported" section of this document - https://www.jamroom.net/ning-to-jamroom/documentation/ning-to-jamroom/3644/ning-2-3-to-jamroom-what-you-need-to-know
Hope this helps - Please let us know how you want to proceed so that we can advise further if need be.
Thanks
Paul
