A pathetic abdication in my opinion. The views of customers are a valuable resource unless one is determined to develop a bunker mentality.
Dear AndyP,
When we opened our forum in 2012, our aim was to to foster a community of customers, both investors and borrowers, who could discuss their experience of lending and borrowing through Funding Circle and help each other.
We have enjoyed the healthy debate with members over the last four years and gained significantly as you shared your experiences with us and provided feedback on the development of the platform. However, more recently there has been a developing trend towards a small number of investors asking questions about a narrow range of technical topics - most of which are better dealt with through our Investor Support team.
Therefore we have taken the decision to close the forum at 6pm on Tuesday 2nd May. We hope you will all continue sharing your views on Funding Circle over on the P2P Independent Forum, which we will continue to monitor.
Although the forum will no longer be active there are still many ways for you to share your views with us. Our Investor Support team are always best placed to help with any queries and can be contacted here. For the opportunity to meet the team directly, we host investor evenings and arrange monthly trips to meet borrowers you have lent to. We're also excited to announce that we will soon be launching an investor panel to help test new product launches and provide feedback. If you are interested in taking part please register your interest here.
Finally, we'd like to thank you for the contribution you have made to the Funding Circle forum, and the support and advice you have given to others. Please stay involved and continue to share your feedback. If you would like a copy of your posts, please contact Investor Support and we will provide them to you.
Kind regards,
The Funding Circle team

The circle of life......They learnt one lesson though: "If you'd like a copy of your posts....." The contrast, the constraint......
