This from John Callaway (Matsubonsai):
I'm very pleased to announce the debut of a new bonsai forum. Bonsai Study Group is an online forum dedicated to the advancement of bonsai trees and individuals as they work together to share their progress as a community. Testing has been underway for the past few weeks, and new members are now free to sign-up. There are already a number of very informative posts online and I suspect even more will soon follow.
Others are encouraged to share in announcing the new forum, but the administrators have asked that we be respectful of other forums. That means no announcement posts or signature lines on other forums, as this may be seen by some as disrespectful. Feel free to post an announcement on a personal blog and share the news via email or personal message, as you see fit.
I'm very excited about this new forum and look forward to seeing it grow.
I'm excited about this venue and have already started posting some of my existing content as well as a new article on candling Japanese black pines, titled, "Needle Therapy." You will find some top talent already there.
Here's what's got me so up about this forum. It's fairly heavily moderated with a completely unbiased hand. It's on-topic only, anything off topic or just for fun is in the chat room where we can build community and just get to know each other in real time.
No politics. No religion. No rants. No food fights. Just high quality posts by some top bonsai artists. I'm hoping some of those who have dropped out of the online bonsai world because of those kinds of things, will take a look and find a place where they can share their content in a give and take atmosphere.
Well done, John! See you there!
