Congratulations for getting this forum up and running Phil. I know Jim will do a great job as Moderator (as always) and we will get the old members back.
I do wonder about those who would not give you their E Mail addresses though. Although I think they will trickle in at some point.
I for one do like the colours you have used and the format. It was fortunate you had got this far in setting the site up. Again well done.

Thanks Ash. I had thought that I had at least two more months to work on the site and do the things I wanted (and still do).

I manged to gain some email addresses from the other site. I was gaining about ten each day and it was a bit tedious. When I got the server up and vBulletin installed all of my time was spent here and I no longer managed to obtain email addresses. I did however get about fifty or so and I just sent out a group email. If each person is so kind enough to email others that they may have had contact with it will help a great deal.

Nice to see you, to see you nice! ( Quote from Bruce Forsythe)

Great to see we've got somewhere to come now, I was a bit shocked and shaken to see that bc.o was down and bc.n hadn't been opened earlier, lol. hopefully people will make their way here.

As long as they trickle in, all will be good.

Thanks for putting forth the effort to let us know that this was open! It is too bad about BonsaiChat, but it now lives on.

I've been away from my computer for a few days, and just came back to bc.o missing. On a whim I tried the name that Pearly had given us earlier, not guessing that bc.o was down for good. But then I saw Pearlys announcement that it was the end for the other, so I signed up. Was a good excuse for me to get some decent picts of things I'm working on up in the gallery.
