No I didn't they do them all the time on the antique forum. I enjoyed the thread myself. I'm not old enough on here to remember anything, but I still enjoyed the thread.

Ask them why. It seemed about the rose forum itself, which is legitimate, I would think, but I could be wrong.

If there's a thread I'm not interested I just don't read it. But I don't have any objections to people posting threads about subjects I'm not interested in. I hate the thought police...

I didn't think your post was off topic, or inappropriate. I think the title, though, caught their eye and made them think otherwise.

So if the powers that be thought it so necessary to move our conversation on old members of this forum over to conversations (which I see that they did) why don't they bother to help out some of those newbie posters who post their rose questions on the conversations forum - where they'll never be seen or answered - by moving those over here? Seems like that would be a lot more productive interference.
Just sayin'.

Do remember that this is not a public forum--GW can set whatever parameters it wishes because it "owns" it.

Over the years, they have tended to discourage conversations that include the topic of banned posters.

On the other hand, I was a bit surprised to see a "gossipy" thread on this forum. Those usually do appear over on the Conversation side.

Not that I personally care much, one way or another, however.

I wonder if the ban on a certain California grower still exists? Long after 'Spike' sold GW (Spike loathed that grower because Spike thought that the grower was trying to publicize his selling roses in his signature line, which he was), any mention of that grower still set off bells and whistles and got zapped, fast.
