Folia

With a heavy heart and after much debate and soul searching, we need to let everyone know that we will be closing Folia.

One of the main problems is that our aging codebase is beginning to have maintenance, compliance and security issues which we, unfortunately, cannot dedicate the time to in order to bring the site up to a level where we can keep it online safely.

We’ve tried really hard to keep Folia alive over the years, however as you most likely know much of the last couple of years the site has mainly been on auto-pilot with us hoping that nothing was going to break that needed our time. To help with this, we closed to new accounts last year in an attempt to minimise spam accounts and moderation requirements, however in doing this we knew we were creating a small closed community that will now never grow and one that we cannot be truly engaged with: this is not an ideal situation and certainly is not a sustainable one for the future of Folia.

In order to provide you with enough time to export your records, we’ll keep things going until the September 14th 2019, and after this time the site will be taken offline.

A number of Folians have created a Facebook group to keep the essence of Folia going of sharing and supporting each other with your gardening adventures. You can find that group over here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/folians/

We’re really sorry that we have to make this decision as we know there are still a loyal small group of Folians that love to use what we have built. We’re proud of what we managed to create over the last 10 years and we are forever grateful for your belief and support in what we were trying to achieve.

Yours,

Nicole & Nathan
