This is a great community of very helpful, knowledgeable people. Many subjects are covered like gardening, canning, and raising a variety of livestock, with a particular emphasis on urban farming. The chat room is a great way to connect with other people with similar interests. As far as the mods go, they are very fair in my opinion. A chat room is a very hard thing to moderate, there are always a few bad apples, but they do a good job of keeping things family friendly. Of course they have low tolerance for any trouble makers, and that is the way it should be! I spend a lot of my free time on this site, and even though it says Seattle, there are members from all over the US and even some members from other countries.
