I find the 2 sections other than the main SE23 one, which most people go to, are under utilised.

I think a home page of some sort would be good where you could see all posts would be good (but leave the sections if you just want to delve into those).

On a lot of forums you get more interaction and talk about completely random topics, but that is not possible here really.

I also think anything related to SE23 should be in the SE23 bit, I find some stuff gets moved to the second section (wider topics) which must get comparatively few views, and certainly gets less responses. I'd just merge those two personally. The 3rd option seems to get no responses to anything, though I imagine there is some stuff done via PM. I've certainly received a fantastic swing / slide set off there for free (if you are reading this Bells thanks again, the kids love it).

You could also say that maybe most people in SE23 are generally happy with the areas they live in, less to complain about, lots of positive threads. Who knows.

Ultimately though it's easy to sit on the sides with suggestions / criticisms from the likes of me who don't run forums, but I'm genuinely grateful to whoever runs this forum as it has provided me, and many others, with a wealth of information since moving to the area (and to my fellow posters).
