TeaChat

Hi Fellow TeaChatters,
I'm willing to bet this has been brought up here before but does anyone here on TeaChat know of any plans to make Tea Advocate (http://teaadvocate.com/) a live site? Thanks for any info.

Your guess is better than mine.

I'm curious as other advocate sites (i.e. Beer Advocate) have regionally based forums within the site which fosters fellow beer geeks to trade and even get together for tastings. I see that TeaChat has a trading section but I'd LOVE to have the same type of thing for tea where locals from the same regions could get together for tea tastings. Is that something that is fostered here on TeaChat or would that be exclusive to an advocate style site? Thanks for any insights!
