My experience with gardeners where I live is they for the most part, check their email a couple of times a week and most don't even want to mess with the internet. Those of us who frequent gardening websites wouldn't want to learn programming and bb code to enjoy a gardening website. I find this unique to the hundreds of other garden related websites I visit. I've only visited one other website who say they are a bb code enabled website (not related to gardening) but you click an icon which is already linked to the bb code, users need not know bb code.
