I was so gutted when I read this, couldn’t bring my self to post. I rely on LFGSS. It’s sort of a crutch in a few different ways. This, on one level, is sort of sad really but it is also remarkable and lovely. It is a good opportunity to say thank you to Velocio for all that they have done, LFGSS is a wonder of the world.
It is so amazing to read there are options for going forward. I was wondering about university and college ‘moodle’ sites. These might work as a format for the forum (for lots of reasons), but obviously the key thing would be they would need an institution to host and enrol the members. It might work in the guise of a ‘practice-based’ research project, which is a thing at my uni in the english, anthropology and art departments. Perhaps this is a shit idea, a result of desperation. Well, anyway. Thanks to @Velocio and everyone on here who’s been so bloody nice.
