I've been a member of this site for about a month now and think it's great, I've learnt a lot and it has definately got me looking at things in my garden in different ways
I just wondered, just out of interest, how long this site's been going for and how it all came about? Sorry if this has already been discussed before, I must have missed it

ive been here for about a year - not being in at the inception. I think wab is about two maybe a little bit older.

its all stus idea - when I asked him why he said "because it was something he always wanted to do" and fairplay to him I say - what a great thing to do , at your own expense and with your spare time - loads of other people have helped along the way of course , I'm not going to try and name them cos i'll mis some and dont want to upset anyone.

a number of members seem to have been here since gods dog was a puppy so I'm sure one of them will be along to give chapter and verse

If you look at the list of members and click on Join Date, it shows that Stu started this all on 25/8/2004. He's got a lot to answer for, completely changed my life, the blighter! Plus cost me a small fortune in camera equipment. Without WAB I doubt I'd have ever bothered to go the DSLR route.
I didn't join until October 2005, so I'm just a novice, still learning my way around.

claire, if you look for a thread from last august(06) entitled "wabs 2nd birthday" or possibly just "two today" i cant remember exactly, that really does have chapter and verse including a big post from stu - it was either in the tree house or the wildabout britain website forums

by the way sir graham sole knight of the wild order if you're a novice that'd make me a foetus

[agrumpycow]

Cheers guys!......and nice one Stu!

Cheers, I can't actually find that thread - must be looking in the wrong place (I have been up since a very un-Godly hour this morning!) but thanks for the info anyway!
And if you're a foetus, does that make me a twinkle in someone's eye?!

If you look in the 'Hello' section for the sticky thread right at the top called 'Hello from StuDH' you will find Stuart's 'introduction' that I think Eeyore may be referring to...
