It really doesn't inspire confidence that one of the main people on the Irish forum has deleted his account. He was the guy who was complaining that no other Irish growers post here.
No one else has posted pictures to the grow thread - other users have been disappearing also.
There are a lot of signals here, or just maybe lots of paranoia.
Signals of what, Grandad? Members come and go all the time, hell I've had to disappear a few times myself over the years. It isn't the first time Cookie has took a break.
