Why did it change its name from Freecycle?

Because Freecycle had a reputation for havin aggressive local moderators
who tried hard to make disposal of items via Freecycle as difficult as
possible. They also had aggressive clients who tried to give an impression
that they were doing you a favour taking stuff off your hands while also
demanding that the stuff should be delivered to their door and be brand
new/latest spec.

Obviously changing the name fixes this.



Paying a quid on EBay at least eliminates the obsessive scavengers
