Title: Merger of Forums
Post by: Admin aka Dan on September 07, 2008, 14:23:53: Hi all,

As I'm sure most people know I have another forum, recipes4all, which is much smaller that A4A, and am thinking of merging the two forums.

What do you think?

Cheers

Dan

Post by: Flighty on September 07, 2008, 14:29:22: Good idea Dan! Will you have it as a board name here with various topics?
Title: Re: Merger of Forums
Post by: Admin aka Dan on September 07, 2008, 14:33:40: I'll probably impot eveyting 'under' the recipe board here, and tidy up some bits n bobs - will have to have a think about duplicated usernames and stuff !

Post by: caroline7758 on September 07, 2008, 14:54:05: Yep, sounds like a good plan to me. Guess it depends what non-allotmenteers who use R4A think?

Great idea, I forget to look in R4A, so I might find all sorts of lovely ideas more easily!

Post by: PurpleHeather on March 01, 2009, 18:02:31: You might as well, no one seems to get up out of the sofa and walk into the next room.

Make it open plan.

Post by: Mushy Pea on March 01, 2009, 18:56:18: ;D

I totally agree. I tend to look at the recipes here and forget about R4A so a merger sounds a good idea.

Title: Re: Merger of Forums
Post by: qahtan on September 10, 2009, 00:45:31: If you do join the 2 forums together, do you think you could add another topic.
Baking, to cover bread, cakes and pastry. all of these items can incorporate
garden produce if required.... just my 2 cents worth, thanks.

Post by: ginger james on September 19, 2010, 21:32:18: sounds a great idea
Title: Re: Merger of Forums
Post by: gavinjconway on September 13, 2012, 16:51:14: This merger obviously never materialised as I see the other is still active although no recipes threadded yet ??
Title: Re: Merger of Forums
Post by: BarriedaleNick on September 13, 2012, 17:48:13: I think Dan just uses R4A as a test site and this site has a recipe section anyway. I dont think it is intended to be active.
Title: Re: Merger of Forums
Post by: gavinjconway on September 13, 2012, 17:50:47: Thought it was something like that...
Title: Re: Merger of Forums
Post by: Tulipa on September 13, 2012, 18:23:54: There are some good recipes on it though :)
Title: Re: Merger of Forums
Post by: Admin aka Dan on September 13, 2012, 18:28:07: It was a separate site, it did suffer a hack which erased the database.

If there is interest I can relaunch it very easily ....
Title: Re: Merger of Forums
Post by: gavinjconway on September 13, 2012, 18:31:33: Its all an A4A so no probs... I just stumbled on the thread..
Title: Re: Merger of Forums
Post by: Admin aka Dan on September 13, 2012, 18:36:41: It surprised me to see it on the front page!

Post by: Nora42 on September 12, 2013, 13:08:01: great idea - trust me in my first year of allotmenting I have met so many people who grow all manner of fruit and veg and never do anything with it because they can't find a recipe it makes you want to cry. it also puzzles me!

Title: Re: Merger of Forums
Post by: Digeroo on September 12, 2013, 14:31:16: There have been some great recipes here on A4A. I do appreciate people who post them.
Title: Re: Merger of Forums
Post by: g-uk on February 17, 2014, 17:25:58: You could easily add forum board recipe section, and I think it would be very fitting. I'd keep the allotments4all web address though and divert from the other site address to this one.

On another note. Have you considered having a local allotment issues section, so that members can find other members from sites under the same local authority?

For example, the allotment site I have a plot on, is one of the 115 Birmingham City Council sites. Different authorities have different rules and so on, so it would be useful for people to be able to post cetrain questions to an audience interested in a certain regional area.
