I think the new forum, is miles better than the old one. We now have a section on dahlias, it seems to have attracted more dahlia growers, to the forum. The whole layout of the forum is a lot better. Innocent words like Janal Amy dahlia, are not Astrix out. i personally was dead chuffed when Steve told me we would have this section on dahlias, rather than it been lumped in with flowers trees and shrubs.  |

Steve would not dare to lump you in with flowers Tel. Dahlias are not flowers are they? They have a much more elevated position.  |

You've already helped me, Tel. It would have been difficult to carry on your 'online tutorial' without a specific thread, so I'm pleased it's here. |

...except that nobody has commented on my little list of dahlias - so I'm wondering if I've made the right choices!  |

It's still there this morning, and i see as recently as last Thursday the 'GN team' were still posting ......... So there was clearly no such deadline to close at all  |

I missed all the 'to do' when GN informed you they were plug-pulling as I had been left in the pub when you lot cleared off and I couldn't get out! Anyway, I'd say the site is still live because they have plans for it - it would be far easier (I guess) to revamp an existing site (for whatever reason they have) than it would be to start from a new one. Maybe.... Or they just didn't like us all.... Personally, I am way happier here than I was there purely down to having to mind my Ps & Qs when I wanted to talk about a.n.other gardening publication. That is really bizarre behaviour on a grown-up adult site erm, ok maybe remove the bit about us being grown-up ;D |

Ladybird wished us all the last good morning on Saturday 16th and Hilary notified us on Monday 18th, giving us until the end of the same week to finish up. I would have expected then that Friday 22nd was the last date. I expect it should go very soon now.

In a way, i am glad it did not go when it was supposed to. It give members a chance to move items of interest to them and others across here. |
