I like the idea about geographically searchable suppliers. I still don't have a good answer for anybody that asks me who to use to dig a pond in this area.
I seriously doubt that I would have come here if it was a "pay to play" place. Now that I see how great a place this is, I would. How much? It all depends.
I like the idea of the "ask an expert", for a fee, but there is a LOT of great information on here for free.
But, I'm assuming that a lot of the stuff that's being tossed around here would put a resource drain on PB, maybe so much that a person would have to work on the site full time for a while to get it dialed in, which would cost $$.
I like the archives for the amount of material that is there. The archives answered a lot of my questions without having to burn up bandwidth re-asking the same questions. But, I didn't search, I just started reading and reading.
Bob, TSC has fish food, pond dye, etc. They have a small, but targeted magazine rack. Have you looked at places like that to put the rag on the shelves?
None of the pond owners that I've talked to in person has known about PB. Most are not computer savvy, so for them print would be the way to go.
Just like Brettski said, it isn't just about the ponds, it's also about the stuff above the water as well.
As a side note, I found an arborist forum because of the chainsaw search. over 46,000 registered members, going on 2 million posts.
