According to Sheehan, it was taken down last night. I guess it violates their rules. I was wondering if the poster...Patrick, will be banned from GW. I guess we'll see.

but how did they find out? do they look at every single post on all their zillions of forums?

Yea it was removed sometime in the middle of yesterday, I was actually looking to bump it so more folks would see & migrate here. At least we now know they have an admin

We tried to make the name as easy as possible to remember. Its a Tropical Fruit Forum that's address is tropicalfruitforum.com. I guess we didn't account for the likes of lycheeluva.

i googled it and found it straight away. still wondering how garden web knew of the post to take it down.

With all the advertising money they make you think they would update the forum instead of scanning it for my post! Go figure... Karma is a bitch!

holy cow!!!! They really do mean business, completely revoked my posting ability when I tried posting a new thread that simply reads "where on earth is everybody?"

I see where Murahilin posted today on GW. Tim...did you mention the new forum in your post? Anyone else locked out or something odd?

Jay,
I did that post to see if I was blocked or not. I guess I can still post. I wonder if I can start a new post though. I'll give that a try later.

That was just it, not one word pertaining this forum. I may have triggered a key word in spam filter? Or if it's got to do with me replying in PJ's original thread with "just like the death of Figs forum when Figs4fun forum got their legs", possibly the latter

Gardenweb's forum tech is ancient, outdated, and not very user friendly. For being the most popular collection of 'gardening' forums you would think they would have updated their site from time to time....glad we have this place now and hopefully word will spread

Garden web is failing. It is huge, with thousands of members, but hardly any new posts. It is like a red giant: old and huge but failing, although not going down without a fight. This forum is wonderful, strongly and wonderfully moderated, and constantly updated. I hope these two forums by murahilan last for sevral decades. They deserve it.

Not strong enough, If I could moderate anymore your signature would be limited to 20 characters

I started posting there a couple of months ago, it takes more than 4 days for someone to reply, usually it's puglvr1.
