An interesting Japanese bonsai care forum

[Bonsai Nut]

I was visiting Konishi Bonsai this morning and for the first time checked out their bonsai care forum. I really enjoy the way they have their forum formatted! After you enter information about your tree, you enter ratings into a "Pride Meter" - which consists of your personal scoring for "Love" (love of tree), "Effort", and "Years" (years of training). The site uses little heart, hour glass, etc, icons to indicate the scores. The site then gives you an aggregate "Degree of Pride" score On the other side of each posting is also a "Care" Meter which is rating from other forum members about "Scissors" (how much more work needs to be done) and "Appraisal" which is what other people think of your bonsai. The site unfortunately doesn't get much traffic, but I think the idea is very creative.

Check it out at Konishi Bonsai Care Forum!

You brag about the bonsai where you have loved at the home to everyone and the ・＜ｃ aren't?
Only your own raising, the prejudice for the bonsai, the other person the point where it is different, and so on are OK with any thing. Love to your bonsai will be written all the way! !

Isn't Babelfish a wonderful tool?

It doesn't try inserting "the scissors" in the bonsai of the person?

Do you how think someone's proud bonsai which is placed here?
Here is splendid, that, when like this it does, it probably becomes better, and so on your scissors (harsh opinion and advice etc.) please insert freely in the proud bonsai of the person.
