agree with daizie, the friendship factor may have dwindled but people trying to flog stuff seems as busy as ever.:)

[Mick Mac]

Too many people saying sensible things. Thats what killed it. Not enough daizies in the grass.

[RosieH]

The cult of celebrity.

[karter]

too many cliques.

[RosieH]

Haven't seen much cliquiness of late Karter - care to elaborate?

[Michael Palaeologus]

The cliques moved on.

[karter]

the cliques walk in herds.

Solipsistic narcissistic inanity where once was wit and discourse

[karter]

that's our rosieh

- People met each other, became friends and cut out the middle man.

- Or met each other and had a spat

- Or got married (hats off)

- Most topics have now been done to death. Square plates being a notable exception.

- Lack of new posters with a brain (would a quick glance tempt you to post if you were new?)

- Inanity (as per Rosie's post above)...and yes you Woof!

- I'll say it....ED is far less interesting now than it was in the Great Age of Gentrification (circa 2000-2007) when property was cheap and new services, shops and bars sprouted by the month to the excitement of all concerned.

(If you enjoyed the ride move to Nunhead or Bellenden fringes for the next one)

- The suit count started to outweigh the creatives (always a sign that the next wave is elsewhere - see hoxton now).

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I blame Surrey.

[karter]

the edf needs fresh blood to sort things out. the others probably did right for deactivating their accounts and resigning.

Rules is what happened.

[Ladymuck]

Blimey! Just what we needed to liven things up a bit!:))

Signatures no longer allowed for community-focused enterprises :-S

If you think EDF is dead, you should check out Virtual Norwood aka Virtual Borewood, and now called by some wag Virtual Deadwood.

The admin there has suspended many of the movers and shakers in the local community who were posting about goings on at the Chamber of Commerce, and in particular about the plans by Chamber chair Mr Hall to build a ruddy great shopping centre on Crystal Palace Park.

not enough cliques

not enough insults....

This is where ANYONE could end up, give or take a misdemeanor or ten

Yeah, now how do you feel...?

( and who the fe*k chose those colours...? )

As we are all EDF users, perhaps this thread should be retitled: What has become of us?
