So I was looking for a community to post a link to and I came accross:

What are our thoughts on this, and do we have a way to release such communities if that's what's wanted?

This occurred before Emperor and I had Admin privileges.

If I recall correctly, someone from ukpf wanted to sit on the community until UKPF had to close.
At the time, I reacted to the situation as a regular user.
When we did finally have admin, I took a look at my own community I'd started on here (personalfinance), and reasoned that there really wasn't much demand, so shuttered it.

If people would like to run a personal finance community, they're welcome to.
Just make sure that you take care with it, and make sure all the usual "not financial advice" warnings are in place.
I've re-enabled personalfinance, but we'll need some more mods if people are going to use it.

And yea, I didn't realise there was a post leading off-site to a Discord.
Probably best that I let people weigh in before I take any hiding action.

Had similar thought and hence the phrasing this post as a question. If we do make a decision we should probably codify it this instances rules so it's a more obvious choice going forwards.

Edit: Sorry, thought that reply was to my comment. Will leave my 'lost reply' though lol

If I came off harsh, lol, I didn't mean to. I'm not throwing out any judgement or even specifically talking about that community: just looking at it objectively at a high level. I've always taken issue with squatters staking claims just to do nothing but deny others the opportunity.
