The Green Tea Forum is No More

I was sad to learn today that my suspicions as of yesterday have been confirmed.  The O-Cha green tea forum has had its plug pulled.  This prompted quite a bit of thinking, and some worrying, as while it was my secondary tea forum compared to Tea Chat.  Tea Chat is also owned by a company, and anyone that has been to Tea Chat knows it is not a big driver of sales for Adagio, at least not as much as a percentage of users, as it appeared The Green Tea Forum was for O-Cha.

This launched me into action, not really knowing of a great all around tea forum with a friendly atmosphere outside of Tea Chat that everyone could run to should Tea Chat ever meet the same end as the Green Tea Forum ( simply having the plug pulled without any real sign of notification).

As such I am launching the Tea Drinkers Forum, and I encourage all of my readers to join.

I am asking everyone to please pardon the dust, it seems to be in a stable state currently, but I may continue to tweek a few things, and work on the appearance these next few days.... This should have little to no effect on the actual forum functionability.

Nice idea to start a new tea forum.

But how will it differ from / complement TeaChat?

Thanks.

It is not meant to replace TeaChat, though potentially slightly mimic it, free from adagio reign. It mostly is a security blanket, putting something into existence just in case adagio decides it wants to abandon its forum endeavours.

Not to mention when you check out the forum, the software is far superior to that of TeaChat's, though potentially slightly more harsh on the eyes for now. It doesn't quite have nearly as many archaic rules or sizing restrictions as TeaChat, and even allows posting photos up to 1024 pixels wide as opposed to just 640 like TeaChat.
