Betty -- This forum will stay the same once the move happens. The only thing is, everything will meld into one forum, like it is at DG and GW. No more separate forums like we have here. Dave will "own" the site, but I will "moderate"... he will leave all the day to day stuff to me. I will decide if something needs cut or edited or someone needs talking to or "banned" which is something I have yet to do. I don't think Sue did it either - if she did, she didn't tell me.
So, the only rules once we move will be the same ones we have had. Be nice, ask before using someone's photos, and that's about it. I'd rather see people post things here, rather than say "hey, go **here** to my blog and see what I wrote about rust"... because that link to their blog takes people away from THIS site. People do that alot on the AHS robin - and you go to their blog and it is two lines that they could have just copied and pasted to the message to the robin.... instead you've just left the robin, started up a browser, and went to some blog program, maybe had to click off a pop up or put up with some blinking ad to read those two lines. Can you tell that is sort of a "thing" of mine?
Now, if someone says go read my blog, I usually don't! LOL... now, Lee Pickles has some lovely photos on his blog - well worth the trip! So--- if your still with me, I'd rather have people put their images or their words here and not take us off away from Cubits or ATP (All Things Plants) to see it. If someone does it repeatedly, I might write them a note and ask them not to... NewYorkRita had a reason she is linking to GardenWeb. I understand that.
So -- I think it will be good there. Maybe we can pull some more people on over! I love the way it is so easy to post photos here. The opposite of DG - I think hybridizers need a place to do a little promoting in this down economy. I don't think Dave has anything against that at the moment. We can't allow out and out sales pitches -- but saying hey, we are having an open garden, or hey we have updated our website, or look at our new intros, I think that is great. Or, Fred's naming contest. As long as I allow everyone to have a naming contest and don't show favoritism - I don't see the problem. If Dave has a problem, he will let me know. I think it was Internet Brands that had the problem, not Dave.... I am not 100% about that....
