My wife and I started this site right after we started a recycling program at our church. We live in a community that is not very progressive when it comes to embracing eco-friendly ideas, and thought the website would help. It's grown a bit, and continues to do so. Please check it out and let me know what you think:
Feedback, good or bad, is greatly appreciated. We want to grow this site into an active community of eco-conscious users and help do our part to slow the threat of global warming.
I think what the previous poster is trying to say is that when a long-time, respected member posts a message recommending another website that he or she feels we may be interested in, it is welcomed and well-received.
When a total stranger joins the forums solely to promote their website, no matter how noble the cause, well, you may as well be spamming this forum for your off-shore Viagra Scam site.
Stick around this community if you wish. What we have in common here is gardening but a lot of us have ecological concerns too.
We also have a low tolerance for Spam, as you can see by the reaction of even one of our newest members.

I'm sorry my post offended you guys so much. I think that's probably the worst reaction I've seen, considering the site was created for a really good cause. My thread was not intended as spam - please feel free to delete it if you wish. I built the website myself, and am looking for criticism to improve it.
For BreezyGardener: the story is actually true. Your response was shameful and unjustified. You have no idea how much work it takes to spread an eco-friendly message in an anti-eco-friendly climate.
For everyone else: I've lurked on this forum on and off for a long time. I've had an interest in personal gardening for as long as I can remember, and organic gardening (most recently vertical farming) for the last 6 years.
I added organicgardening.com to our sites we like page (http://www.ecofuse.com/siteswelike.php). I actually believe in promoting good causes, and I believe in your website.
Regardless, this will be my last post on this forum.
