Folks, don't take things so seriously! I had qualified that post with a
;-), if you look carefully. I just thought it was an interesting set of
data. BTW, I think ABPO took nothing away from RGO, since the oohing and
ahing is done there, the discussion mainly here, plus most of the members
are the same ones, give or take a few. BTW, ABPO started in November 2001,
but didn't really get going until a month later or so.

When did ABPO start? That would have offloaded a lot of traffic from
RGO ...


My guess would be in the summer of 2000? Kye where are you?
How time flies.

As far as the traffic I participate in both groups & the diehards are on
both. Posting to the binaries does save posting a url with a web page
though &
then there are some that don't have access to it .

I think it increased the traffic. We could now show our pictures
and talk about them at greater length. If you got ABPO you had
the photo. So many times web addresses would not be complete, or
would not open unless you belonged to the club; or had been set
for special public view. With ABPO it was just the initial
hassle with and ISP and your set. I also don't think RGO is
going any where down hill. Every year we get some quiet time and
some not so quiet times. Spring has sprung I just found a couple
of blooming surprises and Rhynchostylis gigantea has two spikes.
I can hardly believe it. Oh, and I saw the start of a spike on
a new Bulbo.

Now all I have to do is get thru Tax season.
