The demise of shecycles

Logging on to shecycles the other day I was greated with a page from roadcyclinguk explaining that shecycles was no more and we could post there or bikemagic. Now this has really annoyed me, I know it shouldn't matter but I cannot believe they just shut it with no warning. I know the site has been dead as such for a long time but they had said that the forum was still to run. It has been quiet in recent months but it seemed to be picking up again. I was hoping to organise a Rochdale ride but the few who were interested I now have no way of contacting. I had a look on bikemagic and the thread talking about the closure perfectly describes why it won't be the same even if we start our own threads. It feels like the end of something amazing as its due to shecycles I got into riding met most of the people I know through riding. I know times change, I know I'm not good at change but why did it have to be so sudden?
