Thanks for explanation Admin. As I am based in SE26 I was not in the best position to manage a Forest Hill website. I tried hard, very hard, to get Forest Hill people involved. I failed. So what you see is frozen picture of 3/4 years ago. I will shortly take it down and replace it with a memorial to...

LOL.

I think people get 'forum cojones' and rant things anonymously on forums they would never in a million years say in person!

Or maybe I just don't go the right sort of pub on a Saturday night ...

Michael, you posted earlier that foresthillonline failed because: there was no demand for a second forum in Forest Hill and the administrators, having set it up purely to compete with SE23.com lacked the motivation to keep it free of spam and out of the 6 frequent posters I suspect that at least 2 w...

Admin, how much time would you say it takes to moderate a forum?

It must take a big commitment of effort ...

mikecg, stop stirring. I have no personal quarrel with the guy. My beef with se23.com is a little bit of pettiness I encountered there, and I've stopped posting. It sounds like others have similar experience. Clearly the site has its regulars and is generating posts, although it seems fewer than nei...

I'm not trying to inflame anything ...
I don't think we could accuse you of pouring oil on troubled waters though. :)

Does anyone have a contact for Foresthillonline?

There are no contacts on the website, and I'd be interested in any perspective someone who was involved can provide.

But if you really think STF and EDF are so much better, how come you had not posted to either before you started these threads? It does suggest that, whatever criticism you may have of SE23.com, you have not spent much time on these other forums. Because I don't live in either Sydenham or Dulwich. ...

Admin, michael; thanks for the advice; much appreciated. I searched and read up a bit. Why did ForestHillOnline forum fail? The website is still there, but no longer seems updated. se23.com doesn’t actually seem to be rampantly popular either. I count seven posts today so far in two threads. There’s...

Thanks for that Mike, I may very well try it out. Looks like a good temporary solution to see if it flies.

Thanks for responses. mikecg, by 'ex-edf__er' do you mean East Dulwich Forum? I don't know it well, but anyway I posted a similar message on East Dulwich forum and got similar feedback. I'm wondering though, how hard is it, with limited IT skills, to set up a simplified version of Sydenham Town Talk...

se23.com - an exile from the north speaks out

What an excellent forum you have here. Everything that the se23.com forum should be, but isn't. I realise being a forum administrator is hard work, but let's just say the guy running se23.com takes it a little too seriously. I don't know who he is (I'm assuming it's a he). I haven't argued with him,...
