  I'd be sorely tempted by this one if it was definitely a real Folk:

  Only £40! But the spec and photos make me think it's going to feel cheap and polyester-ey

  This one, but a few of them are similar fabric composition:

  That looks a bit dodgy. Don't Folk do sizing in 1, 2, 3 etc?
  And the fabric looks well off on those jackets:
  Shell: 100% Polyester
  Lining: 85% Polyester, 15% Cotton

  I'm not familiar with them, but can TKMaxx do fakes?

  If you haven't seen it, it's worth taking a look at this post from Velocio. If we end up going down this road, this group could possibly take on the Director roles within a CIC, with someone as Secretary/Treasurer who can set up lfgss on Open Collective and sort out the payments and money management.

  Hopefully @Velocio (if they were willing) and a team of dev volunteers could help sort out the tech side.

  Then we just need some mods and a whole lot of people to switch their donations to Open Collective and lfgss can live on.

  This is a great post and fills me with joy! Certainly something to work towards so we can keep this great community together.

  Between this and the many pages of wank chat, I'm wondering why I'm still following this thread.

  @skydancer and I are going to run through this thread in the next few days and get a list of all those people generously offering their time and skills.

  So if you are a dev and can help maintain the forum, please reply here.

  We will also need a bunch of mods, so if you are 'on here' all the time and can help out, please put your name down.

  And if you are happy to handle the legal jeopardy that may come with being a named director of the famous lfgss, please put your name down here

  I think you are completely out of order here and can't think why you are pushing this so hard. You speak from experience so know the effort and risk that goes into running an online community. You've spoken in great detail about the perils and pain that you have gone through. So Velocio has decided and has been pretty open that this legislation is the last straw and they are going to pack it in after 20+ years. Absolutely no-one begrudges them that decision and we are in fact all amazed that they have managed it for this long.

  You, and others, may feel differently and decide to keep running your communities. Great for you. But why do you find it so hard to imagine that someone has had enough and wants to pack it in or, as suggested, possibly hand it over to others to bear the burden. Have some empathy mate.
