    It not just watergarden, I also agree with him.

    Personally I use the site to give out my advice, exchange opinions and converse with like minded folk.

    Numbers of members or folks post counts.... frankly I couldnt give a stuff. Ill bet that out the 5000 around 300 or so are probably spamers or the type of cretins who make one post, get good advice and never say thanks or use the site again!

    I only came on here for advise on a gardening matter........... But here I am conversing with gardening buddies as I see it. Call me sad but GC is quite an important part of my life, and Im sure lots of us are glad of the advice and the fun we have on here. "THANK YOU ALL MY VURTUAL FRIENDS". At times I dont know where I would have been with out you.:thumb::thumb::thumb: 02

    Although I have a very busy life I enjoy the time that I spend on here :thumb:. I get advice, give advice, enjoy chatting with people and the friendly banter :).

    What I don't enjoy are the unnecessary negative comments and people being rude to each other :(. Fortunately that happens very rarely on GC.

    Constructive criticism is fine but, otherwise, I generally keep out of it. Lively debate is also fine with me :thumb: :D. How do I tell the difference :confused:. Don't know!! :D :D :D :D

    I'm with the positive people on this. When I joined it was to get some advice and unfortunately I haven't been able to offer much back:rolleyes: but I loved this site so much it has become part of my life now too. That may be sad to some people but there are plenty who feel the same. I'm with O2, sometimes I don't know what I would have done without my friends on here.

    Well done & thank you.

    cheers

    Great to see the remarks on this page (page 11) because I think this
    is what GC is all about and I am sure most will agree.

    To quote a couple of people: -
    "...GC is quite an important part of my life, and I'm sure lots of us are glad of the advice and the fun we have on here"

    ...I enjoy the time that I spend on here :thumb:. I get advice, give advice, enjoy chatting with people and the friendly banter ."

    So it's marvellous to see that since August 13th when we celebrated the 5,000th member registering (which is only 23 days ago) another
    100 people have joined!!!

    The one person we don't see/hear of much is the Boss himself, Nathan where are you??
    When you started GC you couldn't have imagined it would have this many members I'm sure.
    I'm one of those who finds GC a part of life, it's like an adopted family and a bl**dy big one at that,:D
    Long may it run.:thumb:

    5,100 + members.
    That must go to show that this site has something to give and is of interest to people.:thumb:

    well done to Nathan for starting this site in the first place.:thumb:

    There's another site I belong to and on there it is the same, some people come and go but a lot stay and are now personal friends.
