Why is this forum suddenly departing from landscaping issues?

The subject line pretty much sums it up :-) It seems that recently there is a plethora of questions being posted here that have little, if anything, to do with landscape design. Lawn questions, raised bed construction, indoor fountains, plant ID, plant alternatives, etc, etc. GW/Houzz offers scores of much more appropriate forums for these types of inquiries. This forum was really intended for a discussion of the theories and practices behind landscape/garden design. It is bad enough that it has morphed into a free landscape design service but now it is really disintegrating into a garden catch-all.

I grieve for the "old days" of the Landscape Design forum where participants like Michelle, Laag, IronBelly, Nandina and Marcinde and other professional designers actually discussed design issues. Instead of just answering unrelated questions and handing out free design services. What a novel concept!!
