Pete,
I've aired my views on the demise of the forum many times and as previously stated their has been many a post of bigoted, bullish nature that sadly with dwindling numbers are only more and more to the fore. Brexit and COVID threads (neither particularly relevant to fell running) no doubt put the final nails in the coffin.
I applaud your efforts to find a future platform to air our views but let's learn lessons from the past and make sure we have a code of conduct that we all abide by that prohibits all the abhorrent behaviour that has brought about the demise of this forum.
