over there? "Heather" wrote in message ... Hi, I just wanted to announce that there is a new orchid discussion forum just starting up and we're welcoming new members. The address is www.slippertalk.com. Thank you! Heather -- Heather |

Classic case of schism in the church of cypriology. Slippertalk has become a pretty nice forum pretty quickly. And the original forum is, I'm sure, still a nice place to visit although I can't go there. Both fora will have their strengths and weaknesses, so the more the merrier. And it is a good way to kill time. And this is a nice group too! But, no pictures. The main selling point of any of these bulletin board based forums. Lots of pretty pictures. -- Rob's Rules: http://littlefrogfarm.com 1) There is always room for one more orchid 2) There is always room for two more orchids 2a) See rule 1 3) When one has insufficient credit to obtain more orchids, obtain more credit |

In my opinion, if someone like Rob is not welcomed at a forum, you won't
find me their, either. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Artwork, Books and Lots of Free Info! "Rob" wrote in message ...

I guess it depends on the level of moderation. The OrchidSource and
Semi-Hydroponics forums are moderated, but that seems to be only to remove truly inappropriate posts - something a.b.p.o could have used recently. Beyond that, they're pretty free-flowing. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Artwork, Books and Lots of Free Info! "Susan Erickson" wrote in message ...

Typical content doesn't seem to have a lot to do with which alt groups a
newsfeed picks up. I am sure you have been through this befo Find out where whoever you get this newsgroup from, (news.msu.edu?) and ask them to add ABPO If they farm out their newsgroup feed to some other organization or company, find out who and ask THEM.

Yeah, we looked at making a.b.p.o moderated, but that was sooo much bother
to implement and maintain... We have our very own resident mick so is a much better system ;p (as long as we remember to send him our "protection" orchids on time) Cheers Kye.

Hi,
Sorry it took me so long to get back here to explain further. Rob, thank you for assiting. Regarding forum moderation, there is moderation and then there is censorship. The latter is what has been occurring for months at the other forum. Slippertalk's emphasis is on FREE slipper speech. Unless you post something inappropriate, you won't be moderated there. Anyway, thanks for being so gracious in allowing me to mention the new forum here. I appreciate it. My opinion about forums has always been "the more, the merrier", though I certainly have my favourites also. FWIW I cannot get ABPO either.

Hi Heather
I once too could not get ABPO but following a chat with my Service Provider and basically begging them and telling them I was being discriminated against (that world always demands attention!), it was put on the system. Was worth a call. Alternatively, you can subscribe to a paid usenet (news group) provider such as Teranews and Giganews, or Athenanews to name a few. Cheers John "Heather" wrote in message ...
