caitlinsgarden, we started having a thread for "blooms" and a thread for "seedlings" for each month that everyone posts in because we quickly had so many members here on ATP that if each person had a thread of their own it became kind of jumble to find new people's questions, old threads that are brought to the top again… just a lot going on. I think we have been doing it this way since the first year of ATP, but not sure. Since Dave designed ATP to have thousands of posts in a thread without any issue, we make use of that and try to stick to one thread for named cultivars and one for seedlings for each of the months with the heaviest bloom. Just makes things easier to find, more tidy. It does get a bit overwhelming sometimes. I have my posts per page set to 500, and sometimes it takes quite a while to get to the bottom on a busy day!
edited to change my typo of "king" to kind….
