Welcome aboard David.The site is about 1 1/2 years old and is an offshoot of Bonsaichat.org. When BCO went down I then started this site and we have many of the previous members here from that site.

It is indeed a very friendly site which which is open to all be they new to bonsai or crusty old veterans to the art. I no longer have any idea what is going on with BT as it has been down for about 2 months now. I know that Matt (the admin.) was having server problems due to a large overload and wanted to be extremely careful of not losing anything in the transition to a new server but I can't see how it could possibly take all this time! Having said that I do however wish him the best of luck with it. I'll admit that it's nice to gain some members here from BT but at the same time I truly hate to see such problems encountered. If it should happen to get going again I sincerely hope that you'll stick around or at least pay a visit here very so often and the same applies to all the other BT refugee's!
