Well said Phil.
I do appreciate what you and the Mods do here.
I must admit to being Goshe this time and voting for my own but only Jim will know.Pup

yep a great participation of trees BUT a louzy participation of voters.

we have 270 members yet only 33 votes, surely more members can afford the 30 seconds it takes to vote. it would take the fun factor up another notch.

come on members put in have a go you might like it.

Antonio, I have to agree with you but one must keep something in mind.
The active participation on any given forum site whether the site has 270 members or 27,000 members is usually about 10% to 15%.
So, although I certainly of course would like to see much more participation/voting the number is about right sad as it may sound.

Sometimes people are visiting other sites, as i do, usually unless you post something that upsets people,they go, hung go at it.
I do agree with you, all it takes is a press of a button and that is it, you don't have to say why you picked on a certain tree.
If you notice there is only a few members that post, out of all the members, but it does not matter what they speak about they always get an answer. Cheers.
