London Fixed Gear and Single-Speed is a community of predominantly fixed gear and single-speed cyclists in and around London, UK.
This site is supported almost exclusively by donations. Please consider donating a small amount regularly.

No free stars to investors.
Stars were always intended to be simply recognition for those that contributed to the community by helping to support the site. And to indicate whether those who profited heavily from the classifieds (the traders) were supporting the site.
Investing has it's own rewards, namely you get shares and those shares are hoped to increase greatly in value.
As CB says though, they are different things and actually even though the investment is almost secure the site still has to stand on it's own for a while. In the worst case that might be for good (what if the venture fails?), in the best case it would be for 6-8 months.
The need for donations hasn't vanished because of investment in Microcosm.
On the "When are you going to ask investors for their username"... which no-one had asked but someone should've. I plan to do it once the money is received, post due-diligence. This may be January or even February.
