Is there a new board somewhere else? This site is dying a slow death.

Catherine, Andrea has been very busy with her homeless project, which is going grand. She'd probably love an email from you! Search for ademink. Yes, I noticed too that the names of posters are changing, and I haven't been a member for as many years myself. But that's the cycle of life, I guess. Maybe just that we get better with our ponds so we don't need as much help, and life develops in its own twists and turns, so we go through periods that other things take priority. For example, myself, DH used to travel almost all the time, so I had time to kill, but now he's home much more, so I spend less time on the computer in the evening. But I still love to check in regularly and read what's going on. :) Mary

Cady, yes, I remember you being one of those who were really for the 'just' Bamboo forum, and I'm glad your efforts were listened to. I don't have plans on leaving this forum and hope to see you still post, at least every now and then. I signed up for one of the other forums, but it is kind of hard to get used to the way it is set up. I guess it is hard to try something new once you get set in your ways. Even if I decide to post elsewhere, I will still be here on this forum. Howdy MikeMcG. I agree, but I keep my sound off anyway so at least that part wasn't annoying. By the way, I haven't forgot. I have a lot going on, but am looking for the first open Friday for a visit. This is the worst time of the year for my bamboo. The potted bamboos in my greenhouses are starting to yellow somewhat, and the frosts keep taking leaves off of my outside bamboos, bit by bit. About six weeks, give or take and the worst will be behind us. I'll be in touch. Kt

I am still around. Like gonzer- I am weary of people dropping in just to ask for free IDs and then not even saying thank you- to say nothing of the fact such people often have no intention of sharing their experiences for the benefit of all. Common issue with many hobby forums these days. For the 2010 freeze in Houston, I was out of town and came home to a lot of dead plants covered in ice (had it not been for the big rainfall that froze over, most would have been fine)- including that awesome Aechmea Marcelino I posted here a couple of summers ago. Living back in Austin now and building up a nice collection again- but mostly offsets of collectible type stuff, so nothing blooming to post just yet. Still- enjoy lurking and reading. The Aechmea spectabilis thread was helpful now that I have a young pup taking up an entire corner of the patio. For all the junk, there is still much good discussion here- and I am grateful for it.

E.O., many of us, have found ourselves in the middle of a 'spat' or in disfavor, if posting long enough! I see it as a 'family thing' where if you hang out with anyone long enough there is bound to be a conflict of opinion or an 'annoyance' factor raising it's head, or a 'bruising of feelings' on a day when if it were another, we might not be nearly so sensitive. The good thing about our *group* (I feel) is when we do clash, it isn't too long before we seem to get past it and move on with life in the garden! I'm not a grudge holder, myself--life is too short! I'm willing to move on, and hope for better things for the future! It's the human-factor we deal with, good and bad!! :o) I find there is something I like and that is positive about every person that posts regularly! If not--I would not return so often---as I do!;o)

Most of the grass has gone to sleep at this time, and the only things out there being used are snow removal equipment, except for folks in the deep south! Wait a couple months--it'll pick up again.

it has slowed due to the season as well as many hav emoved on to others boards. the most recent thread about this same thing disappeared a couple weeks ago. the board gods here don't like when folks mention other forums. they know people will prefer sites that don't have 200 popups a minute blasting in their face and use REAL forum software.

gee, since i mentioned this same thing in the last 10 or 12 threads that disappeared i wonder if they will kill this one too. oh well, blame me if they do.

Probably the season. The site mentioned earlier is not new it is just newly formatted. I monitor several sites and that one is not a high volume one and has not increased.

If you have problems with pop-ups, use FireFox.

Use the popup blocker within IE 6 and IE7, they are your friend. You can also use Opera or Firefox as most browsers nowadays have popup blockers built in. You just have to turn them on.

Pop up blocker within IE 6 and IE 7 is a good idea. I have tried Opera and found it vastly lacking. I use FireFox.
