What kinda site is this Glens?

I'll assume you meant me (either know by real name as "Glen" or login-at-treebuzz name "glens"), Marky, so I'll reply.
If you look on the default site page, http://www.treebuzz.com/index.php, you'd read
"The very nature of our industry demands that we update our knowledge and skills regularly. Through TreeBuzz.com we hope to make this challenge a bit easier by using the many contacts and references we've gathered throughout our careers and pooling them to one place."
and in http://www.treebuzz.com/about.php, you'd read
"[TreeBuzz.com] was originally designed to extend or build upon the experiences shared at such events as the ISA's ITCC and the TCIA's TCI Expo, as well as local workshops and seminars. This type of professional interaction continues to expand our working knowledge about our industry."
"our industry" referred to above would be "arboriculture".
"ISA" is International Society of Arboriculture and "TCIA" is Tree Care Industry Association.
Those might be considered to be pertinent clues to the intended nature of this site.
I don't suppose that precludes loggers or timbersports contestants (or their fanboys) from participating, but this has been a fairly nice little haven for us (I'm marginally a tree-care professional too) without all the butt-kissing, back-slapping, and chest-beating crap that in part brought AS to its knees.
It probably isn't out of line to post an additional picture or two (preferably either as links to them or as attachments, so those who would not choose to view them wouldn't have them forced down their throats) pertinent to a thread. In this case it might help those who don't know or know of Dennis Cahoon to see what Tom was talking about 4 months ago (and in which obviously nobody here was very interested), but these archival shots of logging games / logging-in-days-gone-by are questionable fare in my book.
(These pictures you seem intent on plastering the site with are already available in multiple places on the Internet, so long as the photo-hosting site remains viable anyway. Why don't you just provide links to them and their "pertinent" discussion as posted elsewhere instead?)
