Hi

As the founder of South East Central, I would just like to respond to a couple of points.

Firstly, we set up South East Central a few months ago, as an extension to Brockley Central, a local blog we've been running for years. It took us a long time to get the forum up and running and we felt that having gone to that effort, it would make sense if the other areas that the blog tends to report on were also given their areas of the forum. So it's a South East London Forum, rather than just a Brockley forum.

I agree with the point that forums work best when they discuss issues on people's own doorsteps, which is why the forum is built as it is: each area has its own section where conversations can take place. If you want only to talk about Brockley, for example, you can. If you only want to talk about Deptford, you can, etc.

On the other hand, I know from the number of stories which Brockley Central has covered over the years, that we have a lot of issues in common with eachother. Rail transport is an obvious one - Brockley and Forest Hill residents have exactly the same issues. Policing. Council elections, etc, etc. These issues are better discussed together, where we can pool expertise and organise collective action more effectively.

For these issues, there are general threads, that people from all areas can discuss.

Put simply, we've tried to offer the best of both worlds. Hopefully, people like it.

On the matter of the Nunhead Forum, we were contacted by the moderator of that forum shortly after we launched. He said that despite best efforts, the forum had not taken off (unlike this one, by the way, which is great) and that he thought the best thing to do would be to join forces so that Nunhead users would have more people to share news and ideas with. We said if he wanted to become the mod of the Nunhead section, that would be fine. That is what's happened.

I do not condone any actions that encouraged users to leave against the wishes of the forum's owner and I have apologised to the owner of that forum, although the action was taken without my knowledge of the facts.
