Thanks for your opinions guys! What I really had in mind for a club, though, is a group of people, probably a small-to-medium sized one, that all were/became friends, and that all members pretty much knew each other. I mean, I was thinking of online bonsai shows where you send in pictures, showing through pix the development of our bonsai and such, but also doing stuff like having a "mascot", and having a club tree growth and such, things that maybe this forum here wouldn't do, but a small group of people could.

This is most definately not to say that I don't like this forum, in the small time I've been here, I absolutely LOVE it. It's amazing. But I am a member of some other forums as well, and that's a place where it's like a big family and everyone knows everyone else. I mean, I know I'm new and I don't expect to know everyone right at first, but I like smaller groups of people who can really get to know each other. I mean, this is a giant site, it's so successful, and the mods are awesome and everything, but I wanted something a bit smaller...somewhat like a clique I guess you could say....a nice clique.....

Your opinions are awesome, and I've definately taken them into consideration with this all. I mean, I've copied and pasted them into my bonsai plans for things such as making an online club and possibly beginning a business, it's really helpful.

I have checked out if there are any bonsai clubs around my area, and there are some, but they're not REALLY what I'm looking for. Some of the clubs are WAY to far than I'm willing to drive with gas and all, and some are like, just about discussing bonsai, not DOING anything, no shows, no clinics, or demonstrations. Just text.
