Front Porch Forum 1.22.0

Looking for a recommendation for a plumber? Need assistance in locating your lost dog? Interested in sharing information about a new local restaurant? Curious about your neighbors' opinions on the proposed school budget? Considering organizing a multi-neighbor yard sale?

Front Porch Forum is tailored to cater to your needs! FPF is a complimentary community-building platform that covers all towns in Vermont and numerous communities in upstate New York. FPF provides a daily compilation of posts from neighbors who are not anonymous, discussing various everyday topics. The primary aim of our platform is to facilitate connections between neighbors and foster community spirit.

Residents, local businesses, nonprofits, and public officials engage in their local Neighborhood Forum by using their real names and addresses to post on a wide range of subjects that neighbors would typically converse about face-to-face. Common discussions include lost pets, recommendations for local services, neighborhood events, security concerns, community support initiatives, group purchasing arrangements, local politics, item exchanges, wildlife observations, and more.

All posts are shared in an organized and readable digest format, usually once per day. Each post contains the author's full name and street (without the exact address).

While most subjects are welcome, personal attacks among neighbors and illegal activities are not permitted. Residents utilize FPF in various ways, with the majority of interactions being respectful and constructive. Our objective is to facilitate connections among neighbors to promote real-life relationships without imposing restrictions on conversation topics.

Our team of professional online community managers overlook all FPF Neighborhood Forums, ensuring that each post aligns with our guidelines before publication. However, the tone and flow of conversation are predominantly shaped by our members themselves.

Conversations on FPF are inherently private within your Neighborhood Forum and its adjacent forums by default. FPF does not share any member data with external parties and is committed to safeguarding our members' information. Unlike many social networks online, we do not compile detailed profiles of members' interests or infringe upon their privacy.

Your neighbors are engaging... Register for your local Front Porch Forum today!
