Ok, I accidently sent this message to the admin before I realized this forum existed and would've been the proper place to post it:
"Hello,
I'm sure you get site suggestions all the time, mine is, have you thought of a way to group long term tree progression threads together in one forum/place where it's easy for members to find them? https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/itoigawa-juniper-stock.8647/ I'm talking about threads like this. I don't know if the requirement needs to be 2-3 years to avoid someone starting a progression thread with 3 posts that ends, just to make sure the author plans to keep it going. I know for myself I love looking at progressions to learn the steps used in going from nursery tree to prebonsai to bonsai. Doesn't have to be limited to nursery trees of course but seeing the stages of development is very beneficial. I haven't found the book yet that gives that information outside of the usual "instant bonsai" section that probably turns a lot of people off to the hobby after those trees die, luckily I was too stubborn to fall for that. Thanks for your time & happy Easter!
Nathan"
what does everyone else think about this (now that I've proposed it in its proper place)? I know I like progressions as I feel everyone I read helps contribute to my knowledge base of whats possible with a tree, my bonsai vision if you will. To be able to see that that procumbens that looks at first glance as an obvious cascade has about 3 other better trees hidden in it.
