OpinioN8 started as a hobby, in imitation of other fine local sites. I think it would be a shame to let it go, but the hike from $239 to $588 per annum, by Ning's new owners is pretty steep. But I'd like to keep it going, and I often meet readers who praise its existence.

What we'll deliver:

• Recruit helpers to keep OpinioN8 going
• Pay the subs on OpinioN8 for another year

Why it's a great idea:

There is a good deal of useful historic stuff on the site. Not only current interests in shops and restaurants, but the history of projects such as Hornsey Town Hall, and the proposed Lap Dancing Club. References such as these do not exist on Social Media which are distressingly ephemeral.

Steps to get it done:

• The next annual subscription is paid
