OK Matt,
I stand corrected. BT is the most active bonsai forum in the world then. But taking into accout that German is only really spoken by around 90 million people it is still impressive to match up to BT.
BT is clearly the forum where just about evey aspect of bonsai can be addressed and you will get some response.
One has to see that frequent readers read forums like one reads a newspaper. I have yet to meet the person that reads every single article in a newspaper. This is what the headings are for. Experienced readers see the headings and then who has started the thread. That eliminates more than 90% already if you are in a hurry. Then after a while reading the same headings and seeing the hit rates going up one gets interested an reads something that was oveseen in the first screening. That' how it works for me at least. Otherwise I could never read all these forums anyway.
To be honest, I would never ever click onto a thread which says 'desert rose'.
So why exactly would I say that AoB is the most meaningful? Because I read every single post there, which I do not at any other forum, where I read about 5%. I do understand though that this is absolutely not for everyone. It is clearly for a minority.
BT is clearly for a majority and we need something like this. I am glad that we have both.
