What's up with the other forum?
Comments (43)Welcome back, Chef!:~) Congratulations on, both, your upcoming wedding and baby! Interesting how so many people (from the old days) that fled from here have been forced to return. I haven't had a lot of spare time to spend online, recently, but I did follow how you were treated over there. With friends like these... I thought that I'd made some friendships(there)and was really disturbed by what happened to me, but the way you were treated was beyond the pale. I had always thought that you all were fairly close and seemed to have a good relationship. Sad...really, really sad! (Although, fairly typical over the last several years!) If only the owner had taken care of the issue a few years ago, things might have turned out differently. It never really mattered... The moderators ruled and let their friends do whatever they wanted. You lost every dispute without even a hearing. Wrong automatically! I just didn't have it in me to keep banging my head against the wall. So... I said a few nasty things and left feeling very bitter about the place. Best thing I did! I dropped a major source of stress and got a Flickr page instead. I've made far more contacts and friends, here as well as there, since. And... All with absolutely no noticeable attitude issues! Mostly! ;~) Again... Welcome back! Scott...See MoreNW Gardening aside, what other forums are your favorites? Why?
Comments (25)At first I used to trade seeds on the Canadian forum but now I have so many plants I don't know what to do with them all! Also the rest of Canada is a different climate and so far away. Now I go straight to this forum and my other fave is PETS, where I have received much good advice about raising a dog. WINTER SOWING has the most enthusiastic group I have ever seen and really cheers me up in the winter! I just realized how many forums I haven't looked at, so when I have a few minutes to kill I try a new one....See MoreOther favorite forums here and why?
Comments (7)Pets- I'm a 3rd year vet student and want to help. Plus there are tons of really great people with excellent advice on training and other non-medical issues with pets. It's a great forum for me to both give and receive advice. Animal debates- I think that as a future vet, it is important for me to know where people get their information on certain topics and how they feel about certain things. So although I don't always participate in the debates, I do read them a lot. Home decorating- that's my favorite forum, hands down. Mostly because of the people on the forum, how they can be so helpful and really give you another perspective on your decorating dilemnas. They are also excellent resources for saving money- the more you can do yourself, the more money you save. They also know where to get good stuff cheap. I've totally transformed my plain tract home on a budget with the help of the people on that forum. They are wonderful! Household Finances- I usually glance at that one, but not so much now that Dave is gone. Stupid moderators- he was a HUGE asset to the forum, a wealth of information. Now the forum is not as helpful to me. Not that others don't have good advice too, but he really explained things in terms I understood. Marriage- I used to look at that one a lot, but lately it's been so depressing with all the cheating and major problems. I don't seem to have anything in common with the most recent posters, being in a happy marriage and all....See MoreWhat other forums do you frequent?
Comments (8)The Hypertufa forum was the first forum that I found that was of great interest to me, and I lurked there on and off for a couple of years. But I never felt comfortable posting there. But then one day I was doing a search, and ended up on the Garden Junk side, and those people were REALLY, REALLY nice, so I started reading posts there, and discovered the Mosaics/Stained Glass, and BOOM! I found my home!! I was so impressed that I joined and posted within a day or two. I posted a few times on the Garden Junk - and really like it there, too, but I just don't have enough time to really keep up there, too (I work full time). And since my true love is mosaics...this is truly the place for me. I also recently joined the garden art forum that NT mentioned, talk about a GREAT group of talented people - wow! I've been dabbling in concrete, and want to do more, and that is a great place for inspiration and knowledge. I haven't introduced myself or started posting there yet - but soon!! I joined a couple of other mosaic sites, but I don't really check them out that often. Of course, you can't top the people here, AND I like the way this site works better than the other ones. I just need more TIME to do all the things I want to do!...See More- 8 years ago
