Or at least a subforum, where we can put the category 'failed UK p2p platforms', and free up front page space for livelier ones?
Col and Ly are the initial entrants.

Isn't that what this is for? (Although whilst the death throes continue, it perhaps serves a greater good with Col and Ly remaining on the front page.)

"Failed" can be a matter of opinion. That would include FC and FS for me, if we took a vote. While in administration, I would like to see platforms in trouble continue here fully visible.

Why not go the whole hog and split the forum into 3 sections:
- Good, solid, reliable platforms
- Looking a bit dodgy
- Gone but not forgotten

Coming soon Now Live ... a new forum section, possibly to be headed 'P2x Sites in Administration / Liquidation'
Nobody likes change just for the sake of change, but with three p2p platforms in administration or liquidation now seems an appropriate time to restructure the forum to make the distinction clearer between active and 'failed' platforms. This will in particular benefit casual readers of the forum, who may not yet be lenders on a p2p platform, in highlighting the risk of platform failure is not trivial.
Later this month (Nov) the forum usage statistics will be revised, and a re-appraisal of which (if any) platforms should be switched to / from the 'More p2x sites' sub-board will be undertaken.

My two penneth is whilst a platform has recently been put into administration the forum for it is likely to be popular. Therefore I hope any new categorisation doesn't involve pushing it further down sub-menus.

It pains me to suggest it, but perhaps the new "P2x Sites in Administration / Liquidation" section could be moved to between General and P2x sites?
Experienced P2Pers, and experienced forumites, won't be inhibited in the slightest. Those less in the know will have all the more chance to read up before dabbling.....

Using your link is taking me to an 'Oops You do not have permission...' page Has the defunct platforms page gone? Was temporarily hidden whilst on the move to a new home. The defunct platforms board is now in this new section. Thus far its been just one board for all defunct platforms, but the new structure will allow full boards to be moved alongside once the liquidation is completed. It is likely that the Peer Funding board will appear here before much longer.

Maybe change the section's heading and background colour, too.

the Going concern P2P board is going to look a bit sparse.
