I'm AnniD over there as well. Feeling very proud of myself as l managed to upload my avatar 😁. I know to many people this is a simple thing, but to me it's like building the Hadron collider.
I can understand some GC members feeling that this is some kind of takeover bid, but l'm sure things will settle down in a week or so. I thought it made sense to have somewhere where everyone from GW could find each other so to speak, but l can understand how the GC members felt.
PS Thanks to @Fire for posting about changing to the 2013 style (page 4 on this thread) , l find that a lot easier to cope with. If you can register @rowlandscastle444, give that a try. They are very helpful over there 🙂

I think it's important that we try not to form a clique over there. My intention is to try to join in discussions that are already running as well as ones started by the folks coming over from here, and I hope everyone will do the same.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
@LeadFarmer very kindly set up a thread where old GW-ers could catch up with each other and share old GW stuff. Unfortunately one of their prominent members then replied with "This is not GW, its GC".
I think we need to be mindful of what our mass influx might feel like for their regular contributors. Just sayin'
Thanks LunaSea, and you are correct, for them to suddenly have potentially hundreds of new members could initially appear daunting to their members.
Here's a link to the thread I started over on Gardeners Corner..
To be fair to that person, I had mentioned about using my thread as an area for GW members to find other GW members and to help them continue any threads that they were involved with over here. However I think that person thought we would be keeping information secret from GC, whereas I predict once members have found each other they will create new threads over there to continue discussions.

So you did. Sorry - missed that. Glad I'm not the only one thinking this.
I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
