Your thoughts on moving to the main board?

[EllieArroway]

The D&R peeps are considering moving all of their posts to the main H&G board and deleting their sub-board. If they did that, would you guys want to merge with them or keep this sub?

Keep it sub. I don't want to wade thru half a dozen posts on paint color to find gardening info.

I like it as a sub especially as it says Home and Garden so at least you know you can click and get some gardening stuff.

Keep it as a sub. I don't want to read about paint color, matching chairs, throw pillows, and the like. I want my Green Thumbs and Aspiring Green Thumbs in one place.

TIA!

Sub-board is good. Keep it!

I like the sub-board. I'm afraid if we mix the gardening posts in with D&R they will get buried and not be answered.

I think it's funny that Home Decor and Garden get lumped with each other. Usually the best response from enthusiasts of either is a polite non-understanding of the others's obsession.

It's not that we don't understand, it's just as someone else mentioned, you don't want the garden related posts buried. And frankly, it's one of my pet peeves with HGTV. Show after show about decorating, but very little on gardening. I was very unhappy when Paul James' Gardening by the Yard was canceled on HGTV. Sorry, but I just don't want to skim through "What do you think about this lamp?" when I want to ask about how much light is needed for a Limelight Hydrangea or if anyone has XYZ issues with their plants.

To the Mod - Ellie - please keep this board as a sub-board. Yes, it's not high traffic, but I will pitch a fit if I have to read about ugly ass lamps and throw pillows.

I haven't been active in a while but I much prefer the sub board so I can quickly skim.

I say keep it sub. I'm a D&R regular, but that board is (or at least was) too high-traffic. It would drown out the gardening posts.

I also prefer to keep it separate. Granted, I'm not passionate about decorating but I lurk there a bit.
