Someone posted on WC to say they were interested in a walking thread and a geology section and left WABI without posting due to the lack of.
To kill two birds with one geodite, at the risk of putting the cat amongst the pigeons, how about an outdoor pursuit-type forum?:
THE GREAT OUTDOORS:
Your favourite wild places (this was requested on WC, but FB does not act like a forum and threads fail easily)
Walking, cycling, camping etc (within this the "Where did you walk today?" thread should be made into a sticky)
Wildlife gardening and nature conservation (you'll never shut me up)
Geology
The naturalists's corner (for all sorts of equipment, specialist equipment and techniques to do with natural history that do not fit into the other categories)
Meetings and events
And maybe:
THE GREAT INDOORS:
TV and radio (including a thread for nature in the news)
Wildlife art
Wildlife books, magazines and news articles (totally missing from WAB - if WAB ever re-happens, I want this, I also want to kick Stu up the backside for not having this on WAB)
Member websites and blogs (not restricted in the same way that WAB tried to - positively nuts that was!)
The treehouse (/rose arbour/coffee lounge/country retreat/escape from the country/ or whatever - a place for general chit-chat. Some ex-WABBERS did not like being restricted so much, and the Treehouse on WAB became stricken with a severe case of dieback)
Also, the request for a photo forum is a popular one.
WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY
Your photos
Your videos (c'mon, let's give FB a run for their money)
Photographic advice - your questions answered
