too much effort and no money otherwise i would do it. i already have forums running but creating a GW skin is too much work.

I'd be willing to pay $20 a year to cover costs.

The hot pepper is pretty awesome. I know a lot of people in here are there as well.

jtight look at the forums on theplanetbeat.com - we can create additional forums obviously and if youre willing to moderate AND put $20/yr towards the domain you can have it.

What about a forum for people with screen porches? I never know what to do about lighting and watering and stuff like that.

*shrug* if jtight is willing to step up you can put whatever forums you like on there.

there isnt anyone on theplanetbeat anyway. was planning to shut it down.

Anybody interested in a Facebook group?

(the same as before) there will be nothing about toilets at all. The old GW was full of, er, toilets, but the layout made it easier to ignore them. I don't understand how this setup is any more difficult in a browser (the smartphone app is actually pretty bad).

I'll send you a message?

There is another option for true pepper lovers.

OK, can't find a message/email option.

I'll post something shortly regarding where I can be found going forward.

I think what made the old GW so great was the participants. Hope you all don't decide to leave immediately, but rather stick it out for at least a little while until some of the kinks are worked out and our favorite features are restored.

I suggest that you guys be patient with the new format.

I have visited few pepper sits but this is the best, and it is free. JMO

I don't know if you're still looking for your hot peppers but, right above the OP's title it says Garden Forums, click that and it takes you to all the forums for gardens including Hot Peppers - not a toilet in sight, not even under the T's.

Lol I keep thinking of Wayne's World. "We fear change"

Well, not all of us. Heck, my job entails a lot of change, and I try to embrace change, BUT only if the change is for the better. So far, I don't see anything better, and I don't like having to click something to tell it to not fill up my mail box every time someone responds to a subject that I happened to respond to. But, I will stay around to see how it goes. I think the front page of the pepper forum is difficult it's too nebulous, there doesn't seem to be any real distinct boundaries, it seems to just flow into each other, it's not direct.

but, I do want to say, Bill, please don't leave yet, but if you do, let us know where you are going.

Hi Pam,

Thanks asking me to hang around but I suspect my time is limited here, the new masters have already removed a couple of my posts (not sure how long my account will be around). One of the deleted posts was letting my friends here know where to find me. Rather than risk screwing of Johnny's thread, I'll be emailing everyone who I have addresses for directly.

Bill

Pam- If you click on "edit profile" there is an option called "advance settings". You can change your email settings there so you won't be inundated with them.

Free web hosting if someone wants to spend the time to create a forum. No cost at all.

Example of what it could like, this is a forum I'm a member of. http://www.ontariorodders.activeboard.com/f549736/introductions/

I can see that a lot of complaints are because of not being familiar yet with all the features . My mail box was bombarded too , then edited things in my profile and stopped it. I couldn't have my screen name at first but got over it.

So my humble suggestion is : BE PATIENT. Allow some time to yourself, to learn the little things, as " HOW TO DO WHAT?"

Now all I am interested in a forum is to to learn and exchange information an I can do that right here regardless of the layout.

The next thing to realize is that the people who have invested in creating this site ultimately want to make money on their investment. This is not non-profit, charity and government institution that is operated with our tax Dollars.

It is a free membership service.

YMMV

There are several peppers/tomatoes gardening message boards. And finding them is no big problem. But believe me, here is much better. You have so many forums with established participant. Gardening is not just growing peppers. I also grow beans, squash, cucumbers, herbs, onions/garlic ...

I've been very happy with the houzz migration. I'm not going anywhere.

The forum here serves its purpose real well, which is having discussions. There are some secondary issues about APPEARANCE, and getting used to new features that can be resolved shortly.

On the other hand, you can be member in more than one site, quietly nobody can/will ever object to that.
