Pepipoo seems to have fallen over ... again. Does not bode well.

Yeah - it's down again...
As I've said before, one of the most important features of an
advice site like Pepipoo (or this one) is that it should be
reliable and be there when it's needed

I'm still puzzled why - if as claimed so many regulars have
actually moved here - the speed section is vacant in comparison?

Is it search results?
I presume most people looking for advice re a NIP wouldn't know
about either Pepipoo or FTLA, so is pepipoo just a more popular
search result?
Also I'm not sure users on other forums are aware of FTLA? I
post on MSE and Legal Beagles and usually you only see
suggestions to go to pepipoo not ftla.

Pepipoo is up and running again.
We should open a book on how long it'll remain so.

Because many of us made a concerted effort to redirect OPs from
the council forum on pepipoo to ftla, while no such attempt was
made in the speeding section.

The question is not why is the speeding section so quiet, it is
why is the council section so busy. IMHO largely due to the
presence of a facebook group for council tickets, and also due
to the fact that council tickets are far more likely to be worth
challenging if you have access to people that know what they're
doing.
Speeding seems to largely about explaining to posters how to
read the sticky that tells them how to perform a statutory
declaration and do a plea bargain to get the s. 172 dropped.

I try to direct people to both, but some referrers only know
about Pepipoo and not FTLA.
While it's obviously ok for people to choose whether they want
to post on both sites or just one, I think there's a danger of
confusion and distraction so long as Pepipoo continues and some
users seem to have decided to stay there and not venture here.
It just dilutes the knowledge base and experience to draw on.

This. I think we've not seen more than one or two cases a year
where a speeding case was actually worth challenging, just as
that case where the 30 mph signs were blanked out and the police
agreed to drop it.
