Wow some people are really mixed up, why do people bash this forum if you don't like it leave, move on life is too short.
I was not around when the forum mentioned was active so i can't miss or comment on what i never see...''
Now in saying that i also was a member of a few weed forums before i joined this one, i claimed them to be crap, no one seemed interested in helping out a newbie they felt very clicky, no one would reply to your posts, not what i would call a really good learning forum, forums are based on sharing the knowledge and building friendships along the way. So i made that point in a written way and left no big deal. That was a couple of months ago in that time i've gone from newbie to a fairly good grower and confident too. That was thanks to this forum and the members within it, so thanks guys you know who you are.
Most forums would ban members that come out with what you said i suppose you can count yourself lucky you have been given the space to say what you said.
