Have you considered that the list owner has never come forward to identify him/herself?

Have you considered that people could possibly be boycotting this list because it is not moderated?

The welcome message states the reason for this baord’s existence is “for anyone wanting to know more about Pembroke and Cardigan Welsh Corgis”. If the purpose really is education, this forum falls short. So far it has generated only a few questions, some photos and your brags.

I’m not surprised by the silence.
Who said this board isn't moderated? I don't think you are familiar with this board's software so let me tell you about it. This board's software (vbulletin) is the #1 rated message board software available. The biggest boards on the internet all use vbulletin and these boards have over 40 million posts and over 100,000 members! And these boards are all moderated. Vbulletin has such great moderation features that moderating big boards are a cinch. So moderating a little corgi board is even easier. To sum it all up, yes this board is moderated.

An advantage of this board's software as opposed to the currently available corgi boards/lists is that the posts and discussions remain on the board. So say a corgi owner wants to know how to get his pups ear to stand. All he would have to do is click Search and type in that query. He will then be presented with a list of all the discussions and posts (if that subject has been discussed before) that have discussed that query. He won't have to make a brand new thread on that subject then wait for a response. It will all be there in an instant. Therefore, this board has a potential to be a great reference.

One more thing. We never asked or said to "abandon" other sites or lists. This site was created for the benefit of the corgi community not to steal members from other sites or things of that nature. I don't know where all this negativity is coming from. It's really unnecessary.
