Yeah, I will have to admit that this forum is a bit 'different' in its organization.What I was saying to @Son of Hobbes was...go out and look at our front page...it would be intimidating to step onto site now and think I have got to learn how to navigate us...but if you put it in context...Most of us will actually be Lucky to use 3 threads on site......with a few basic functions to learn.
Discourse is exactly the same..Find Live Stoners.. Assembly point..then get Stoned for a week to get comfortable...and move out when you feel up to it.
I've suggested to @Son of Hobbes that we then ask the Seniors in LiveStoners...the guys who screen shot and teach already...cough..cough...
Let them go out... explore what they think will be useful.. bring it back into LS...with a tutorial every Friday night...while we sit in LS getting stoned..... #JustSayin
Automotive forums are a extremely familiar method of communications of ideas, methods and how-to's. I have been on all sides of various forums. I've been just a regular user. I have set up and got going a few forums and I have been a sponsor in multiple forums. I've had profitable forums that I've run and one that I owned. I even sold one to an advertising company, only to watch them turn It into pile of crap. If I had the same level of contacts in Cannabis as I did in the Automotive Arena, this move may not even occur or be an issue if chose to move. Money wouldn't be an issue.
I think one of the biggest problems that I've had with Discords I've tried to use in the past, as they just don't seem to be linear to me. In a forum, if you get anyone to post a reply to someone's comment, it's at the end of the thread. On the discords that I've visited that's not the case. It's just added to the post they are replying to with a little sidestep.
I've tried ! Reddit's organization just doesn't make sense to me!
While the automotive forums use differed from my current use of this forum, the basic intent is still the same of learning, informing and documentation. If I could still do those things without crazy I mean on the difficulty or complication, Then I'll probably still be a participant. I know that with use, comes familiarity and then probably a better ability to utilize what's available.
It is a shame that all the data will now fade away into nothingness. Pictures and thoughts of friends, gone and still here, will only remain as cannabis and age influenced memories. As I said before, the data is not worth that much money, but I think it's still sad to me.
On a positive note.
My Grows are only gonna get more technical from this point forward. The data that I gather will be very important to me and possibly others . I think that I need to document on my own software and keep it locally. I can then transfer it quite easily where it needs to be , but the data will be preserved . I really don't have any idea what kind of software is out there that can accomplish this . I'm very open to input !

Navigation always seem more difficult to find what I wanted.
