It goes something like this, this forum SE23.com is the Original forum of SE23, the other forum was set up by some local traders and other interested people because they disagreed with the way this forum was run/moderated. They didn't like that so went off and took their ball away with them because if they couldn't play, no one could.

As you have rightly said that causes some confusion about which is the actual forum for SE23.

The council decided to remove the funding from running the local library, so some of the local traders who had also set up the other forum plus the Forest Hill Society (think that's what they call themselves) plus others including V22 (still can't workout what they actually do or why they were involved) put in a bid to run the local library and surprise,surprise the council awarded them the contract to run the library.

There appears to be no publicity about how it is run, when meetings are held etc. and thus appears to be a bit of a closed shop unless you are part of them. They won the bid and now run the library as a community library.

Think that sums up the story of why the other forum came into existence and who now runs the library.
