Slack is primarily for use by business, organisations, campaign groups of one sort and another. There is a bit of a trend to use it as a P2P cient in the style of FB but imho most such users will rapidly fnd themselves out of their depth. It is only free to a point. |

I did have a look but didn't have time to do anything. Can't really see the point unless GR disapears. |

Good luck to Estelle anyway :-) I think it's quite difficult to get the impetus going on new FH sites now, with FB pages 'competing'. |

I got halfway through signing up but I won't sign up to anything these days without reading the "terms and conditions". Unfortunately the terms and conditions were just too long winded and complicated for me so I didn't go any further. |

I notice that when looking at the list of members, even when you have selected a 'display name' your full name can be seen, that might not be something everyone is comfortable with? |
