Previous entry, seems to cause a bit of confusion. Some people seem to think that we are running away with your data and you are now completely at our mercy. Nonsense.
First, cron job is a fancy word for "scheduled task", a process that are running in a predefined period of time, over and over again. In JomSocial, why we need it and how to set it up yourself is clearly described in our documentation page, http://www.jomsocial.com/docs/Cron_Setup. Setting up this scheduled process is easy and would take less than a minute. All you have to do is visit http://yoursite.com?option=com_community&task=cron . No data is being exposed, no call-back to our server, and we don't even know you're running it.
The scheduled task, simply open this url, without you having to keep on loading it in your browser.
