Re: Hillcrest Estate - report published

I think Sydenham is right to suggest the ecology report is being used as a smokescreen. My suspicion is that what it's hiding is the difficulty Lewisham Homes has with any development project, especially with the complications arising from leaseholders being involved, as well as tenants, thanks to '...

Re: A Leaf out of East Dulwich Forum's book?

I can't be at tomorrow's meet up, but I'll add here my tupporth on Forum aliases. In the main, I'm with everyone else in accepting that it should be the choice of the poster. If you use your real name, in full or not, or just initials, I think it gives some extra credibility, but no more than can be...

It may be old, but I'm not sure how good it is

I've only occasionally watched it, put off by the feeling that is it all staged, and reduces serious debate to chasing ratings.

Re: Local announcements with political message

Question for Admin - is it possible technically to do what I was suggesting - having a single post thread with an announcement on the Town Hall, and then a link to a comment thread in the Town Pub?

I'm afraid you won't be getting a reply from him, he was lured by admin to a meeting at the Sydenham Town Consulate and hasn't been seen or heard of since. :shock:

Re: A Leaf out of East Dulwich Forum's book?

I.e. in STF terms what is the problem attempting to be solved? Reach, in a word. I also think STF is a pretty good local site, but I don't think enough people know about it, and unfortunately, some who do will discourage others from looking at it, or posting to it, so restricting its reach. I think...

Re: A Leaf out of East Dulwich Forum's book?

This doesn't apply so much to Penge Tourist Board, because it's a Facebook group, so we know who if anyone is making any money from it, but I doubt if we'll ever know how, and how much. But the Admins will be entirely voluntary, motivated by the same community spirit as the Admins here. The PTB is ...

Hey all, Let’s not forget this site was good enough to get Nando’s or open up. Dom it may not look fancy but we get the job done. Maybe settle in first and get a feel for the forum before suggesting changing everything. You don’t want to be a gentrifier do you? Let Dom settle in, but I think that's...

Talking about moribund forums, has anyone been on Virtual Norwood recently? :-( That was a great forum. I don't even live in CP but I met a few others via that and as a result formed a neighbouring community group, the PTB. The owner of VN made some terrible decisions though in his efforts to make ...

Re: A Leaf out of East Dulwich Forum's book?

Nothing instigates a new forum quicker than totalitarianism on the old forum. I think the rise of SE23.life was to do with being so much easier to use and smarter looking than SE23.com, and the leg work put in by Chris, Snazzy and I think many others I'm less aware of, meeting people face to face, ...

I'm with Robin here - one of the many good friends I have met through this Forum.

Re: A Leaf out of East Dulwich Forum's book?

I know Sydenham has a proper community (much more so than ED), so I think it would be good if we could make this place more active, arrange more community things and basically get to know each other as part of the wider community even more. I appreciate that it's a big ask and isn't going to change...

Open question for Admin, but for others to comment here. Is it OK for me to post a link to this sign up form Keep up with local action against Brexit! in the Town Hall, with any debate on Brexit itself in the Town Pub? https://gallery.mailchimp.com/8c9f89dd8144e8d30329b8854/images/dae21021-99ea-4164...
