We currently only have 3 subject's on the forum which is great. The info provided is unreal in most case's. I was thinking about able adding a new Subject "Other Tropical Plants" We could have one just for Papaya, Palms, and any other type of tropical Fruit. Or maybe a Subject "Other Tropical Fruit" We might be able to attack more people, and even better we might be able to get some members to try growing something they might not do normally. Just have to be careful it does not get out of hand or the site would turn into TropicalFruit.com, LoL

Either way site is great and the main focus in Bananas, and I do not really have anything to add to this other category yet, if they were to be added.

We do have a thread for "Other Plants" is that what you mean?

My opinion here is probably worthless...but...I'll go for it...

I think that if we sub-categorize too much, it is not effective. The reason I say this...is because there are quite a few categories on the site already that have not and might not take off. Also, bluntly, it is already a bit overwhelming...which is my reason for only using the 'New Posts' option.

Just take a look...
Here is the site in October of 2006:
Bananas.org - International Banana Society (http://web.archive.org/web/20061004031631/http://bananas.org/)

It's plain and simple, but straight to the point! Why add a category that will get 5-10 posts of other tropical fruits, when you could clump it as other plants?

Oh well...be what it will...Jarred does a great job, and knows what is best!

Here, I agree with Taylor. As it is now, compared to the past site cited by Taylor, I feel it is getting a little cluttered. Any more different sectioning will make people go crazy - I mean me!:ha:

We have the other forums for other stuff already and as you can see they are not so active as the main ones on 'naners cos 'naners is what we are all about!
Finally, there are many, many more such org's out there specializing on their own interest just like us. However, 'NANERS RULES! Rite?:ha::ha::ha:
