Forget it. I am not going to play your semantic games here while we watch this forum go to three posts a week, much like AoB and KoB.
I'm not sure what got your panties in a bunch here, I answered your questions as asked, politely and with respect.
As to the implied insult to the two forums I am involved with..
A) AoB is doing just fine, it was decidedly designed to not attract dozens of posts each day. It is more like a glossy coffee table book, where else can you go and find so many galleries and interviews by some of the best bonsai artists in the world? Where else can you find so much content on the artistic aspects of bonsai in one place? Within the last year it has had two record setting contests and with the World View Gallery for 2006 coming up, an interview with Kimura coming soon, and the interview with Vaughn as well as the recent article "The Problem with American Bonsai" by Vance Wood which has reached over five discussion pages to date by some of the biggest names in the business....I don't think you need to worry about its success at all.
B) KoB was also decidedly designed not to attract dozens of posts per day, instead its focus is on quality articles, galleries of shows and events, progression galleries, as well as a three dimensional gallery. It also includes in each and every section links to informative articles elsewhere on the web. KoB is a knowledge base first and a discussion forum second. It has also attracted some of the more experienced in the business, in this aspect and many others, it is also a success, not bad for a new forum at all.
And as to this forum, it will do well as long as politics are kept out of it, your post above for example, served no purpose whatsoever except to disrupt a conversation many of us were enjoying. I think your prediction is wrong and this forum will indeed prosper.
