I created after I had started to make a post about everything I needed to borrow and could lend and it was just getting too long.

The group has 2 boards - one for lending and one for borrowing. They are designed to make it easy to post what you have. You can either create your own topic or post in a group topic. There are chat topics as well.

Additionally, the group can be pinged to this board. We will have to get a feel for what the rules about pinging outside of the group will be.

I hope a lot of people join because I have tons of things I can lend and a fair amount I need to borrow as well and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

It's also an easy way to keep track of what you still need to borrow.
