Forum Garden History Lesson

hotsauce · Post by **hotsauce** » Thu Apr 21, 2005 6:27 am

How long has this site been going? Who started it? Why did you start it? Did you come from another board...and decide to start your own place? Were there a group of you that came here together?

I don't know much about this happy little place. I would like to know more. Can anybody fill me in on the history of FG?

Anastrophe and Tombstone own the Garden. They started it a few years agoas a way to make a kittle extra money. it just grew from there.

They do a fantastic job!

It seems like this site is not that old though. Jives, you said they started it a few years ago. The dates that people joined don't seem over a year old. Did this site start somewhere else? Do you know?

Hi everyone,

Actually FG started about 8 months ago. It's still a baby.

Make extra money? I don't think so! We love forums and decided to create our own again for enjoyment. I ran BBS's starting way back in 1986. The old saying applies:

"A forum operator and his/her money are soon parted."

yeah...I didn't think you did it for the money. It has to be for the love of it.

FG is a wonderful place. It is so new too! It will keep growing and growing!

Thanks for the answers!

Well! I stand corrected! At least I got one out of three of my facts straight. About par for the course for me!

That actually makes me feel good, I only missed out on about 6 months of the boards, in on the ground floor!

Thanks for the nice notes! Yes, I think we have something pretty nice here - I couldn't find an environment I could "connect" to on the Internet so decided to create something new.

As usual hotsauce had a great question. I learned something today myself, & I have been a member since early October 04. I have never been a forum member in any other place, & I'm sure I would never find one as terrific as this one!!!! The people in this Garden are the greatest!!

I have been on a couple other forums in the past, and this one is the best by far.

You know, the reason this forum is so great is definitely the quality of the people on here. it beats every forum I've ever seen, bar none.

Congratulations Anastrophe and Tombstone!

You've created a friendly forum and one which is both fun and instructional to visit.

May it grow and prosper through the years!
