The way i see it nothing is guaranteed. We were told the forum would continue to be supported if it was without troublesome posts and moderators came forward, which they did, and this decision has been reneged on. I think there may be a hidden legal agenda here, in which the FRA is responsible for sentiment expressed on here, and the legal risk level has been advised to somebody as being unacceptable. Runners World have also recently closed their forum, so i think there may be some kind of legal/risk threshold lowering going on and all forums everywhere are viewed as a liability.
I'm confident this forum can continue, but it will need commercial sponsorship and adverts to offset the running and setup costs, and there is already a commitment from members to be moderators. It can undoubtedly continue, but the FRA are not now supporting it for some reason. 'Betrayed' is the word i used in my email to the Chair.
