  This is so so sad, I’m a infrequent visitor to this site but have always enjoyed the discussions and information found here. I’ve always found good, friendly advice when it’s been requested. Thanks so much one and all.

  I just searched on Immediate Media Co. Ltd - interesting background material on Wikipedia.

  I still think the closure was effected because the views expressed by members conflicted with the interests of the man who owns the company.

  Hi folks, funnily enough I got an email only today advising of the Forum closure.  Ironically I was about to post about my poorly orchid.  Anyway have found another forum which I have signed up to will post there.  
  
  Reason why I am posting here is to find out if there's an easy way of deleting or transferring all our post history etc to our on personal clouds or storage etc.  Just thought I'd ask. Thanks

  The ultimate ownership of the company is German...maybe they asked for no user generated content.

  Wiki says that I M sells market research services based around its consumer panel, which the company says has 14,000 respondents. The firm also provides data analytics, loyalty publishing and IP licensing. Are we the data then?

  Sorry to witness the demise of the forum. 😥😥😥😡😡😡I am Spartacus

  Will you tell them to shove them where the sun don't shine @B3?
  They'd obviously have to be ones that tolerate shade long term....
  
  It's not that long ago that they were using/printing posts from forum members in the magazine. Changed days eh?

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
  
  
  
  I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

  Lots of members heading to the Gardeners Corner forum @Lucid, there will be plenty of help and advice there l'm sure 

  Ok thanks very much AnniD!
  
  They also haven't made clear whether the old forum will remain as an archive to refer back to. There is so much useful information here.

  I was just thinking about that this morning @Fairygirl. I definitely remember seeing @Dovefromabove mentioned in one edition.
