I'm another who was very active on DG for around 10 years. I have just NOW refused to renew my subscription because I no longer like it there. In fact, most of my gardening contacts left long before I did. I stayed mostly because of the friends in the Coffee thread.
I've noticed that the real action to talk about hostas is on Facebook and the conversation on DG, here and even the Hallson forums is limited to just a few participants.
So while I check in here regularly and I've contributed a lot of hostas and hosta pictures to the database, I don't come as often as I used to.
