GROW Forum changed for the worse ...

[the image reaper]

I've been watching with some amusement, the complaints regarding the Home Page changes, etc ,... now, it's not so funny, ya really screwed up the 'Grow' section :wtf: ... the biggest annoyance in the Grow section has always been people posting questions, when the answers are already posted repeatedly ... if we couldn't get people to READ or research their answers with the old, 'easy-to-navigate' Grow Forums, it's really gonna be a disaster now ... nobody will want to search thru the new 'Grow-Maze' ... Sundance: ever hear the old phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it ?" ...

The whole site has changed for the worse.

The whole site has changed for the worse.

Indeed it has, sadly.

One thing I'd like to point out is the view where there's a link that says 'growing' but it just recycles you back to that spot again, like the permalink function.

Maybe it's just me being a grow geek, but the grow section was pretty good the way it was broken down before, with the exception of the organic bit being within outdoor.
I think personal cultivation is a very important part of the cannabis decrim movement, and a big, healthy, busy grow section will attract advertisers- growers spend a LOT of money on everything from seeds to supplies to complete systems. An average personal-use grower will spend about a thousand dollars on initial setup, a good flowering light ALONE running about $500, and then more on upgrades and consumables (media, ferts, seeds, pots, light bulbs at $120 a whack, etc.) over the course of his grows.

For potential revenue gerenating purposes alone, I think it should continue to be a main feature of the site.

How about just an "Ask the Experts" thread where noobs can post a question in bold type and let someone with knowledge answer it.
