the orchid board is dead
yep, the end is here...
once upon a time, there were so many people cruising thru, signing up....because there was real information here. there were photos of EVERYTHING you can imagine, and always someone was handy to help out with a problem.
now, there are hardly any people here, members or not. things don't work well, it takes forever to get a page to load....
if anyone asks for help, real help is discouraged....only the organic non-chem ways are smiled upon....really? when was the last time you ate your orchid? or kept a hive of bees in your grow area? the last time I tried to tell someone with a severe infestation how to get rid of it, my posts were deleted.....
its silly to advise someone to use alcohol and cinnamon for years and then throw away an infected plant because you cant get rid of mealies or scale, and it has spread to your whole collection....toss them out and don't replace them, because its too difficult to grow orchids?
I thought we were trying to actually HELP normal folk to grow and enjoy orchids....who wants to mess with q-tips and alcohol? for hours....for months, years?
when you google a plant, it used to give you oodles of links to orchid board posts....not anymore. very few links are shown. could this be why we have so few visitors and newbies?
nope, the orchid board is dead....I don't think anything will bring it back either. so sad, I really enjoyed it years ago.....
nothing to see here, move on....
