I visited GardenWeb the other day. Interesting. LOTS of diversified topics
concerning all sorts of plants. Even some forums with specifics, like Gardening in Tennessee. And a place for new forums, made me think ....hmmmm a lot of us from Wreck.gardens could visit there and smooze and name the forum "rec.garden refugees" or maybe back yard chatting from the neighborhood of rec.garden" there are no restrictions other than language. and 99% of us are pretty good at that anyway out of common respect. I've not given up on wreck.gardens, just thought it was interesting. my two cents worth. madgardener up on the ridge, back in Fairy Holler, overlooking English Mountain in Eastern Tennessee zone 7, Sunset zone 36 who has subscribed to GardenWeb (it's free but they don't mind a donation to help run things even more efficiently if yer inclined) |

I sometimes (rarely) visit the bonsai group there, but so many of the questions are about "mallsai" (supermarket "bonsai") the visits usually are brief. And web-based boards are clumsy. FWIW Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - Only where people have learned to appreciate and cherish the landscape and its living cover will they treat it with the care and respect it should have - Paul Bigelow Sears. |

Someone runs the boards? I've never noticed anyone being censored or talking about rules, etc. It's just gardeners posting. Some of the specialty boards aren't that active, but I've found so much info over there. I like that the posts stay up, my news server only holds posts for maybe 2 weeks. But I've never had a problem with web-based boards, especially ones with good search capabilities. Janine |

I did notice that there were some etiquette rules but other than basic
common sense, nothing out of the ordinary. I'm curious and willing to give it a shot. I can ALWAYS learn about horticulture! g madgardener Someone runs the boards?

If you want to chat, use a chat client .. mIRC and pick an IRC network to go to and start a channel. There is already a channel .. #gardening on undernet (the # sign designates a channel name. You get on an undernet server typing: /server us.undernet.org will get you on any available undernet server and typing /join #gardening will put you into the channel. If you want to start a channel that doesn't already exist, they "joining" it by typing /join #channelname it'll put you in that channel. First person joining a channel is an Op, .. someone with @ in front of their nick is an op.. someone capable of bestowing the @ crown to others. Be careful who you bestow ops on as they could then boot you out and ban you so you can't get back into your own channel. But that being aside it's the best chat environment, as that's what it was made for. www.mirc.com read the irc primer if it's unfamiliar to you. Janice |

But I've never had a problem with web-based boards, especially ones with good search capabilities. 2 choices to keep posts- www.groups.google.com or use an offline newsreader. Forte's Free Agent is free - http://www.forteinc.com/agent/features.php I've never been to gardenweb so I have no opinion of it in particular, but I've never found a web based board that was as convenient as Usenet & a proper reader & filters. If I was reading Usenet with a web browser I wold probably feel differently. Jim |
