Well Here I Am

A refugee from Sagazone, a UK social networking site, which is due to be closed by management at the end of this month.

“Saga Zone was developed as a site where our customers and readers of Saga Magazine could network with like-minded people.
Recently there have been complaints about content, particularly though not exclusively racism and religious intolerance, posted in the Soapbox and Debate Zone. We closed these areas of the site but people continued to post controversial and offensive content on other areas of the site.
A social networking site is about freedom of speech and there are many places on the web where people can express their views in a robust and unfettered manner. However, Saga Zone is in a Saga branded environment and when members post content that others find offensive on a company’s website it can impact how the company itself is viewed.
We are sad that the site has been used to post offensive messages and that we cannot continue to run Saga Zone with the threat to the brand that this content poses.
This means that from today the forums are now ‘read only’ so you can no longer post comments. However, you can still access your account to retrieve your content. The site will be switched off from 26th February 2013.
