The Ouija board is closed for business
Okay I actually mean the OIDG forum, but a bit of latitude never did any harm. Unlike my attempt at playing with the English language this TFN global forum is in fact in a state of total lockdown. Is it that Mr Beal is scared that what is happening in the Uk might spread to us and Canada?

About
Stemming from my experiences of giving and receiving items through the concept of Freecycling, this blog is a critique of the industry known as the “gift economy”. I started out as just another freecycler, then moderator. Then something happened that propelled me into being a movement activist. Much of what is written concerns the controversy surrounding The Freecycle Network (TFN). There are many articles referring back to the origins of the company, and indeed events that led up to its creation. This is therefore an activists blog.
If anyone sees anything incorrect please let me know and I will do what I can to correct them. Any errors and omissions are mine. All comments are welcome and indeed if anyone wishes to suggest future topics, or other sites related to the subject of the future of freecycling please tell me now, not tomorrow.
Returning freecycling back to the movement.

If it spreads to Canada, this would be the 3rd time. 2005, 2007 and ???.
In 2007, a large number of TFN groups rebranded themselves as FullCircles groups (and misc. other brands), under the FullCircles.org umbrella.
