I used to be a user of this site years ago but I switched to SE23 life for a couple of reasons:

1. I found SE23 life’s website much more user friendly to navigate. Like somebody else said this forum is a bit like teletext.

2. The constant chat about Chris Beach became very tedious. Even now he is still being discussed on this page and one of the most discussed topics on this website is the one about him. As somebody who was new to the area I had (and still have) no idea who is, nor do I care who he is or what he “did next”, yet it completely dominated all discussions on this website. I therefore found the topics on SE23 life a lot more refreshing and helpful.

I feel that the Next Door app is more user friendly, especially to use on a phone as content can be uploaded quite easily. If this website was formatted to a more modern style I would probably use it as frequently as I did SE23 life.
