Ha ha,Mrs Do as you would be done by, Sam. I tell my customer experience students that, they have never heard of the The Water Babies, we had to read in I school.
I can add a column of figures up 3 times and get a different answer every time.
Jeannie we've not had any more snow thankfully but as you say it's the wind that's the problem. B***** freezing and very drying.Not used to watering pots here at this time of year!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I, myself, got fed up of trolls, arguements and basically stupid threads being started on this website that had absolutely nothing to do with gardening. In fact, it is becoming more of a competition to see who is top dog. I'm still a newbie. I want to learn how to improve my garden. If I wanted loads of chat threads, I would use Facebook.
So I thought to myself, stuff this, I want somewhere to chat without all this crap, and learn about gardening. So that's just what I did.
I built a free website, added a forum, and asked people who I normally chat with, and have helped me in the past on here over, on a trial, to see if it would work.
This is not unusual. There are loads of gardening forums out there, and I know of many people who regularly contribute to many, as well as here.
So please, stop stirring, and just accept it for what it is. Just another place for gardening discussions.
It's not life changing. It doesn't affect this site whatsoever, and it is definately nothing to get all stirred up about.
I will probably get flak now as the 'black sheep', but to be honest, I don't care. I just wanted a hassle free learning site.
And I will still use this site just as much for advice if I see something that catches my eye.
There, truth is out. Do with it what you will.

We don't need to do owt with it, YOU have decided to split the community here, by offering another place, that's fine, but don't start recruiting from here, you should be banned from doing that.. Wish you well with your forum, but look out for Gary, let's be honest, he's somebody I wouldn't really enjoy being in my company. good luck
Brummie, The community was not split here becasue another group was started. It was already getting fractious and with the added strain of this forum not working properly that didn't make things any easier. There were several trolls and lots of goding and sniping. The other forum was to offer people an alternative and I am sure it wasn't intended to take people away from here but if it did then the fault didn't lie with the other forum.
I suppose these threads about the spell of disharmony have popped up again because notifications have been reinstated and people have responded to posts from a while ago.
However, all has been well on here for quite a while now - even with the recent technical troubles everyone has been patient and helpful and good humoured - long may it continue - I don't want to tell anyone what to do, but in my opinion I think this problem is dead and buried and long may it remain so.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Well! My word! Thanks everyone. That explains a lot for me.
I haven't had a clue as to what has been going on - I couldn't keep up with all the posts let alone the content - tried but felt I was in a race.
Only started joining various threads a month ago even though a GW member for years and as a newbie thought that .climeri. wbe be my password. (no laughing - well just a little one)
It's good to pop in the Morning and Evening threads and will contiue to eavsdrop...good to know you all
Not started anything up, Dove was right, finally got some notifications mailed to me. I couldn't really give two hoots about a different forum, what I do object to, is the 'bullying' of people online. Asking people to publicly shun others.. honestly it's pathetic, and if that is the level of the members on the other forum, so much the better that they are there, and not here. My final rant on that one, if people use another forum I don't care, I'll continue on here regardless.
