Hey everyone just wanted to announce that we are working on making some more positive changes to the site and one of those is working on improving the navigation a bit and cleaning up a few things.

Here is a list of changes made so far (updated Feb 4th, 2018.)

  • Renamed Live Intros, Chat, and Competitions to Live Announcements, Intros, and Chat.
  • Created Live Announcements forum and placed in Live Announcements, Intros, and Chat.
  • Renamed Monthly Contests & Vendor Seed Giveaways to "Monthly Giveaways" and moved to Grow Battles as subforum (temporary, re-envisioning this)
  • Truncated the entire vendor testing section by creating broad categories defining vendor type/products.
  • Moved the Indie Breeder Section to the new Autoflower Breeders section.
Planning navigation improvements and cleaning up the growing section next. Have been reading the suggestions in the latest site improvement thread, we're going to work on what we can to make the most suggest improvements, so keep them up!

Thanks, everyone!

Not sure if helpful but new growers forum and new growers journals could be merged? Likewise with the other double sub forums? Grow journals would be better in the breeder specific forums?
