After being out of town for a week I got caught up on my AS lurking time last night. Some changes but lots the same. Hell's Kitchen is an odd place, don't know what to make of that...

This morning I logged on to finish the catch-up. There were 44 new posts since last night, 14 in the chainsaw forum, 9 in Hell's Kitchen and 5 in Commercial Tree Care. The rest were scattered in ones and twos among the other forums.

While I was out of town I had the pleasure of meeting an old friend from the original arborist discussion forum, the ISA page in the early 90's. He got disgusted when Take 3 Wraps and his ilk stunk up the place. Since the ISA didn't do any moderating that was the beginning of the end of the ISA forum. Now, years later, arbos have several flavors of discussion to partake in. There certainly is more traffic but there seems to be less arbo discussion.

I just ran the spell checker before posting. How come "arborist" isn't in the dictionary?

Welcome back, Tom!

Spell check are really misnamed. They should be called "Typing checkers"

Without going to a whole new software we won't have a typing checker on TB. Wye wood wheeeee?

My comment wasn't meant to be an AS/TB thing, heck, the ISA forum is missing some basic tree words in the typing checker. It does surprise me that the mods or owner haven't added the word to the typing checker. Maybe this is another sign that I'm truly a tree dork

Haven't added anything to spell checker, although I should start.

The HK thing don't know what to make of this either. Other than keep all the bad eggs in one basket. Easier to moderate. If you don't want to read it, then don't go in there.

I would love to build the arborist portion of the site up, but many of the mod saw guys can be overbearing. Hopefully keeping them in Hell will help. Won't know for a while.

What is your vision?

I think what Jen is trying to say is that the chainsaw mod freaks might be a little over the top. No biggy Jen, the chainsaw is a very user friendly tool.
I bet all your friends believe you have the distinction of being the "chainsaw queen,"
Very Best Regards,

Are you stuck in a time warp Gypo? The thread is three years old.

We should rekindle threads from 6 and 7 years ago. Some classic, awesome threads were created, that every time a new thread is started on the same topic, former contributors don't want to come in and repeat again what has already been said and re-post images already shared. Current threads can become a shallow bowl of diluted chat sometimes, or noobies sharing with noobies.

It would be most valuable to the readership to do a 'search' before diving in and creating a new thread, but that doesn't seem to happen much.

Now Yukon is digging into back threads. I think that is awesome. Nothing wrong with rekindling an old thread.
