    I would also add kindest, and more accurate to Permaculture ethics.

    And, the original!
    Permaculture is a gestalt ... a study of the whole. Not just how to produce more and better food, but how that food production affects and is affected by the surrounding environment.

    I was wondering. Is the traffic here in the forum getting slower. My personal feeling is that there used to be more interaction than we see these days?

    If so, where are people going now? Facebook? The garden?

    Hard to say
    We seem to me to be getting more traffic but mainly lurkers and fewer joining in perhaps??
    Over 170 looking/reading forums now,(opps my maths seems crook actually "220 users online. 7 members and 213 guests")
    maybe all problems can be solved by previous posts?

    OK, I can dig that. Then perhaps it's time to start being pro-active!? Maybe we can take on some of the bigger issues as a collective?

    Is the Grahame for PM campaign back on then?

    I think it is a bit quieter too. With Costa on Gardening Australia, maybe permaculture is so mainstream that you don't need to come here anymore?

    Judging by the posts, and some of the people that posted them, the heyday was some years ago. Perhaps when the Internet, permaculture and the social web met.

    Perhaps everything that could be said has been said and repeated verbatim across blog posts worldwide.

    Perhaps the message has been fragmented across personal websites, youtube and aforementioned blogs.

    Perhaps it has become a money thing. The last post I saw from one of my personal heroes was a For Sale thread on electric fences.

    And perhaps, it's so mainstream that everyone is out there doing it.
