Congrats, but we already knew that.
I would like to personally thank Roger, the mods and all of the little guys for making this site what it is. It has truly turned my modest gardening obsession into an all out, no holds barred gardening obsession. This site has even changed the way I look at gardening and the environment.
Thanks
Dono

One piece of why HelpfulGardener was named and not other garden forums is that we work very hard at keeping the forum family friendly and with a respectful tone and decommercialized. We try to make this truly a friendly community of gardeners supporting each others endeavors.
That's part of what I really value about it and why I volunteer my time as moderator.

That's why I came here, because other forums have popups and lots of arguments!One piece of why HelpfulGardener was named and not other garden forums is that we work very hard at keeping the forum family friendly and with a respectful tone and decommercialized.

The people here are helpful and knowledgeable. Plus it is not a one up-man-ship kind of place, what ever you are doing is respected for what it is, I like the non-confrontational and competitive attitude here.

Roger - I am so glad I found this forum. Although the Business Week recognition is from 08 it is still a feather in your cap. I am constantly impressed by the knowledgeable replies, the laughs I get and most of all the personal concern. Twice I have been absent from the forum for a few days because I was out of town. Both times I received PMs from members asking if I was OK. I am SOOO touched by such personal concern.
Great job and thanks to one and all.

I'm quite new here but I echo all the good things that are being said about The Helpful Gardener. I would like to know more about how it was formed, how and by whom it's sustained and how it's kept commercial-free. It is the best forum-type site I have ever come across and I earnestly hope it will continue forever in its present form. Why is Business Week interested in highlighting a non-commercial website? I find that slightly ominous!rainbowgardener wrote:One piece of why HelpfulGardener was named and not other garden forums is that we work very hard at keeping the forum family friendly and with a respectful tone and decommercialized.

Please somebody in the know create an introductory info package detailing the "provenence" etc. of THG. (Apologies if it already exists and I've missed it; in which case point me there.)
