Home Decorating & Design Conversations - Not

9 years ago

Looks like very similar topics of discussion threads going on in the Home Decorating & Design Conversations forum. I didn't notice any decorating & design talk going on there.

What's the back story? Did this group split off from KT because of some rift or something?

There's also a Home Decorating forum. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/decor/

Conversations side is for ... conversations. Has always existed ... or at least since Conversations forums were created by GardenWeb many years ago. When Houzz took over they eliminated some of them. The one on Cooking is gone.

I'm unaware of any rift or something.

Nope, you just haven't gotten the forced changeover screen yet, arcy. Sooner or later you will get a Houzz popup forcing you to choose subjects that interest you. After that, there's no going back. This forum looks just like kitchens then and has the same mess of irrelevant posts that used to be in other forums. My guess is they deleted the link to conversations because there are a bunch of forums that don't offer enough monetization opportunity that they mean to axe.

daisychain when I'm in a thread, at the top above the title in the OP it says GardenWeb Topics / Home Decorating Conversations. When I'm on the main page of the forum is where it says Home Decorating & Design Conversations. Olychick it's not the word Discussions that I'm questioning but Design - that's what I think was added. It makes the Discussion and the Conversation sides both have the possibility of being nicknamed DD which is what the regulars on Houzz call their Design Dilemma board. As I said, maybe I'm just pushing a conspiracy theory here and it's all about nothing. When I start talking to you about visits from extraterrestrials, call the men in little white coats, please. roarah - then I'm not nuts!

I too couldn't find Conversations or for that matter any Garden Web after clearing my cookies. I don't know how I found my way back to Decorating but that allows me to get to Conversations. Unfortunately the Conversations is not exactly the same format and I hate it. I've been on Garden Web since the 90's, through many different iterations, but the Houzz stuff with all those pictures and links at the end and black format makes it exhausting and uninteresting. Others have found their way back, maybe someone can help us all back. I wish I hadn't deleted my cookies.

Totally hijacking here I have a 40" 8 shaft Toika Eeva countermarche floor loom from Finland. A 27" Louet, Jane, 8 shaft table loom on a stand, from Holland. I just resently brought home 60" counter balance LeClerc, Canadian, floor loom, Mira, with 4 shafts. I have woven lots of family gifts. I wove a wool and mohair blanket double width weaving for my DS2 and DIL2. It came out 100"x70" and fits on a queen bed. I also wove a smaller wool blanket that DD1 uses as work to keep warm in her cold office. I don't have a picture of my DD1 blanket, but i submitted it to the Iowa State Fair and got 2nd place in the blanket division. The blanket below wasn't done in time to submit. But it was done for the wedding. Wedding Blanket, fuzzy mohair: ETA this closeup of the tassels: Wedding Shawl out of silk and merino wool: Closeup of the random tassles in silk and wool. In this pic the tassles still need trimming at the ends. This picture makes me want to just scrunch it up to my face, lol

Many of us post and read in both conversation forums. As CindyMac said, 'conversation' sides to some forums have been around for many years.

Exactly right. It isn't meant to replace the KT. It is simply a place separate from discussions about decorating where folks on that forum can feel free to discuss anything else. Some have also come over here (like me recently) but many have not. I found that forum a long time before I found this one. No rift.

HD Conversations is where the "regulars" at HD forum, people who are all quite interested in Home Decorating and Design, have become friendly with each other, but want to have a place to have "off (decorating) topic" conversations. Lots of people go to HD to ask for help or advice, but they don't really stick around much after that. There is a core group (quite large) that participates on both sides and some of us check Kitchen Table, too.

I always check out HD's Conversation side as I make my way through the GW forums and post if I have anything to contribute. Also "Smaller Homes" has become more or less a conversation forum too.

I enjoy reading and being on both Kitchen Table and the conversation side of Home and Decorating. No rift. When Houzz took over GW the conversation side didn't follow and we had to demand it.
