I read this site and subscribe as well even though I don't own a lake or a pond because I CAN'T GET ENOUGH of this stuff! I can not wait to build my own pond or ponds and would love it if this cottage industry became more of a big house industry so there would be more jobs available for pondnuts like myself.

Well for all it's worth , I subscribe to the GREAT POND BOSS MAGAZINE! and love this web-site , but i don't agree with giving all those freeloaders a discount on the magazine. Just my humble opinion.

I've subscribed for couple of years now and have even sent a friend (with 15x15x10deep pond) subscription. I think I got most of the books for Christmas.
I had a brand new 3/4 acre pond and really didn't want to screw it up. So I called a pondmeister from Brenham to check the water and recommend stocking fish and rates. He gave me couple of back issues of this magazine and the rest is history. I would even say that the website is more valuable than the magazine, because of it's interactive nature. I don't have to look through old issues, hoping that someone published an article or asked a question that I had. I just type it into the search engine. If I still have a question, I don't have to wait till the next issue, I just ask it - OK, sometimes they get ignored, but that is just part of the deal.
I, for one, would be willing to pay subscription. I pay for some other magazines online that are not nearly as useful to me anymore. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences.

Ed, I'm sure no one will have hard feelings towards ya, we know what you meant. besides, i've watched these folks communicate...they are very respectful, clean, decent folks, and as a new subscriber, i've gained so much from this site. concerning "contemplating" a pond, no owning one yet...NOW is when you need this site, not only later. for instance...you buy a pond thinking it looks great and you will "fix" it up....these guys give advice about stuff like that... it's better to know about this stuff BEFORE you invest money and time into a pond that you might realize will cost you more to fix up than to build a new one. anyway, i think we all agree, the site is great. the magazine is great. the advice is amazing. i have often wondered if Bob et.al. ever step away from the computer! I'm impressed. I'm in agreement to pay for the site, and the more people that are willing to pay, i imagine the "dues" would be cheaper.
Bob, I'm in full support of whatever you choose to do. this site is great and i have really appreciated the advice. I've also enjoyed seeing the comments, questions, etc... from other beginners like myself. thanks. mark

Great comments! The Pond Boss gang really puts in the work to make this site information central for pond owners. My recommendation to PB headquarters has been to keep the site free. A big part of the draw to new participants is access to the information. How can we show support to PB for providing such a great community on the web? Buy their products. Take notice of this button throughout the site, and on the main page of the discussion board….  We have just finished building an online purchasing area that includes a quick and easy way to subscribe to the magazine, and also offers other PB products – check out the page at http://www.pondboss.com/purchase.html J.P.
