We may be having a change coming. I'm not sure if you will even notice when it happens.
I noticed the domain name www.forestryforum.com had never been taken. So guess what. I bought it. So sometime in the future, if your old bookmark does not work, try typing in www.forestryforum.com and we will be there! I needed a new place seperate from the Timber Buyers Network to host the site because of the space it takes up.
Everytime we write a message, the site grows, and so far I have refused to delete any old threads. About the time I do, someone will want to refer back to something that I thought was not important enough to keep. So, unless something drastic happens, I will never delete old messages.
Sounds Good!
Do I get a new hat? :D:D:D
Excellent idea. Looking forward to the change.
;)Lookout Steve, competition is on the way!8)
I never got a hat!
O.K. Before I yell at Marty, here is my deal on Hats. I have seen "hat discussions" before on boards, so I will define my Hat policy.
I will never have a contest where the most posts gets a prize. But I will, however show my appreciation for being a loyal board member, by posting regular, and achieving a certain level of posts.
My Hats are very good hats, so they are worth the effort, and time it takes to get one! This sounds like a lot, but it really is not, once you reach 200 posts, you get a hat.
Now MARTY!
Yes, Marty has a hat. (tell them how nice it is) Marty was one of our first Michigan landowners to get on here and post, or at least visit regularly. There were a couple times when Marty's posts, and the answers to his questions, were the only posts for the week! So that is why Marty got a hat early. The bad part about that is, when Marty gets to 200 posts, I am going to go get his hat back!
I wuz a good boy super nice hats. Please don't take my hat away it fits my ponytail just right ......marty8)8)8)8)8)8)
O.K., You can keep the hat, I'll come after the Ponytail.

NOPE! Never competition, the word is complimentation. I am afraid that is what he thinks too Hugh, and that is to bad, to many good things that the sites could be doing together. I asked him to stop by for coffee here, and he said "I can't make no money there." Makes me feel a little sad.
We were going to do a joint contest, he has one of my original oil paintings sitting in his Alabama office as a prize. The last couple times I brought it up, He pretty much ignored me. So, I don't quite know what to do about that now. Hope we can still do it.
Jeff there are a couple of things that come to mind here.
One--he is holding your painting hostage.
Has he asked you for a hat?
Two--he has hung the painting on his wall and he
doesn't want to give it up.
The painting must be pretty darn good!
Three--any other message board makes him nervous.
Shame we all just can't get along and learn
from each other.
After all it's only trees and not weapons
secrets.

It is a goo painting (even if i say so myself) I will find a picture and post it.
WE are www.forestryforum.com! (Is that right?)
Am I getting any closer to that hat? <eg>
How about a second star?
I settle for anything at this point! :D :D :D
10 more posts for da star, a few more then that for da hat!
Dang, I'll never get a hat! :-/
I may make it to a second star, though! 8)
Hey, how about a smiley with a hat?
;)
Yes you will, your almost 25% of the way there!
O.K. Rav, your at 46. Just make 3 posts a day and you will be style'n in a sheek Timber Buyers Hat, even before school starts again!
Thanks for the encouraging words, Jeff!
:-*
Let's see, just one more post to go for today...
;D
Jeff:
I really like the new forum interface. Nice clean look. Great idea on the forestryforum.com idea. I was wondering how you were going to deal with the space/memory issue?
Hope your members stay true and continuing sharing this valuable information resource. Good discussion and knowledge are a winning combination.
Thanks for all of your hard work and efforts. You deserve a hat!
