    Why do they use such a terrible interface for Freecycle?

    Yahoo groups??

    Surely a forum would be a much better system, and then all of the UK could be on one site/forum with different sections for each city.

    I know yahoo groups is free, but a forum would be so much easier for more people to use. I was about to put a folding bed on there but now im thinking ebay will be easier and get more views...

    Because no one has ever thought of a www.freecycle.com domain inc forum?

    Write to them and suggest it to them..... if there's actually any organisation on a national scale, including a director...

    Oddly enough, I've just been on the site today, thinking of putting on.... a folding bed & I see Freecycle are now 'Freegle'.

    Is Sept 29 get rid of folding bed day? (no connection to folding@home ).

    http://www.freecycle.org/

    The .com is just someone trying to make a bit of cash off the name.

    I was guessing.. it was either .com, .co.uk, or .org. I went for .com
