niki_nje Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 This may be sacrilege but I was wondering firstly how "East Dulwich" this forum is? I.e. how many far a reach does the forum have? I'm sure bordering Peckham people must be here. This leads to my second question which is, are there any other forums as good as this one for "local" i.e. just outside of ED areas? Although I live near Goose Green I wouldn't mind travelling a little to find good stuff in other areas, and I wonder if it is all captured here, does that make sense> Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/50303-reach-of-ed-forumother-forums/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 1. Peckham, Camberwell, Nunhead, Forest Hill, Sydenham, Penge, Herne Hill, Crystal Palace and probably other places.And that's just the discussion sections. The for sale sections get used by people all over the place, I've agreed to buy / sell things before and ended up going to Clapham / Balham to collect / drop off.2. There are some decent forums, but nothing anywhere near as big and busy as this.

Ghlpc Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'm in Sydenham now, but lived in East Dulwich for 25 years and still have family in the area. So I still activity engage in this Forum, mainly for news about the area and great topics of discussion. Not the silly gossiping or moaning though!Sydenham forum is obviously more relevant to me, otta is right it's not on the same scale of EDF but very active.There is a great campaign at the moment to restore one of our local pubs, and the forum is providing a great platform for this.I would imagine I'm not the only person to cross forums locally.

edcam Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'm borderline Camberwell and there isn't anything to compare in SE5. This forum covers much of SE5 anyway.

Reg Smeeton Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'd be interested to know of any other online community forum in London - or even the UK or, dare I say, the world - that is as active and comprehensive as this one. Maybe there's something in New York or Sydney?

Siduhe Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 The SE1 forum is very active too. Or certainly was when we lived there 7 years ago.

???? Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Active lounge posters are easily, easily 50% ex-SE22 rather than living here now...TOP 10 posters ever (in terms of number of posts) even more so.

Jeremy Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 TBH I technically moved out of ED a few years ago... but have always been just a couple of minutes walk over the border (SE5 and now SE15) so it's still very much my neighbourhood. What goes on in SE22 effects us border-dwellers just as much as what's going on in Camberwell or Peckham..

StraferJack Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I would argue (well, I would wouldn't I) that despite most people not knowing anything about those posters (or the many many other early prolific denizens such as mike paleologous, dulwich mum, bagouss etc) this forum would be a fraction of what it is todayI shall raise a whiskey in their direction this evening Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/50303-reach-of-ed-forumother-forums/#findComment-790623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Poste's Child Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'm in the village, but as that's what ED is E of I think it still counts. There is nothing like this for the village itself, perhaps as we're stuck in the middle of the last century.

Salsaboy Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 *hangs head in shame* but in my defence I do a lot of work in ED and the surrounding areas and know the place well.edcam Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Oh Salsaboy.

LondonMix Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I might be one of the only regular posters that actually lives in East Dulwich...This has become a forum for most of South / South East London.

rymerster Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Forest Hill, top end, so I regularly follow this forum as I'm always going to or through ED and I'm interested in the surrounding area. I haven't commented before, I won't often unless I've got something useful to contribute. I also participate in the SE23 forum which has quite a different flavour to this one (less humorous but not bad; very good on transport and utilities issues).

Newboy Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I am in Sydenham and used the local forum to investigate the history of the house I bought there.I was then contacted from California by the great-grand-daughter of the man who built the house in the 1880s and she has since been to visit and brought photos from those days.That's quite a reach - you clearly never know who's watching the forums!
