Updated reasons you should join Bowes and Bounds - You are not the fuel

by Daniel Cowan

May 30, 2022

We have made a few updates to the site at the weekend, including to the Reasons you should join Bowes and Bounds.

The main change is to highlight that we are an independent site where we do not want you to be the product or the fuel for the site: 

We do not aim to monopolise your attention and we do not want you to be the fuel for Bowes and Bounds. This is an independent site where we promote discussions and events in our email digest based on interest and variety rather than revenue and the emotional impact that they trigger in you. We try to build on strengths and create positive change rather than foster division.

Let us know your thoughts on this update.

    I am not sure there is very much activity on this site anymore

    Myddleton Road seems to also have been forgotten and neglected over the last 2 years.

    Is "we love myddelton road" still going?

      Fantastic!. I'm really grateful that you're independent and not keeping or selling personal data to every Tom Dick and Harry or using platforms like FB, Instagram, WhatsApp, or Twitter that do the same. Big thanks as well for the email digest - it's great to keep connected. I know this is run by volunteers and you're doing a great job - but if you wanted to improve things more of the same kind of content, perhaps over a wider area, or a regular local blog would be great! And forum interaction ( a regular moderator?) Thanks for this!
