The short version is that PAS use a system called basecamp to run our projects - it's an online thing and we are almost entirely a remote team these days. </p>
<p>Starting with BNG a few years ago, we opened up new basecamps to council officers. We now run about 6 with varying levels of success and engagement. Some are quite general (eg local plan leaders) and others are quite specific (we have one on benchmarking local fees). </p>
<p>You can see more under the <a href="https://www.local.gov.uk/pas/about/keep-touch">networks section here</a> it's all been slightly organic and has grown like topsy. It's on my long list of things to do properly one day - including (probably) shutting the KHub down and shifting the basecamps to something ultimately more suitable. </p>Richard Crawley2026-09-04T10:09:31ZRE: Bots and spammers - sorryrichard whitehttps://khub.net/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=53683759&messageId=14874012362026-09-03T10:04:00Z2026-09-03T10:04:00Z<p>Ditto what Ian said - basecamps?</p>

I thought the Khub was the main hub for everyone to use? Unless I missed something...</p>Ian McDonald2026-09-02T10:10:03ZBots and spammers - sorryRichard Crawleyhttps://khub.net/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=53683759&messageId=14868734112026-09-02T09:57:58Z2026-09-02T09:57:57Z<p>Morning all</p>
<p>We are an open group so are quite vulnerable to spammers - it has been getting worse in the last few days. </p>
<p>Our various basecamps have largely replaced the KHub, although we restrict it to those with a .gov email address. Anyone care passionately enough to keep this place going too?</p>
