LMAO,
Since you asked,...
Your username tells me that you are not very serious here.
Your posts are mainly for buy and sell purposes.
If people did tell you what they were thinking, why would people think you really understood where they were coming from?
You asked some questions to get the ball rolling, which is a good idea but you seem to be making a lot of assumptions in your questions.
You seem to think forum members are male, married with a family and have employment with co-workers - and that we spend too much...lol.
Maybe some of us live in denial as well...lol.
For the record, I hope this forum (or any other out there) has not created problems for anyone's participation in the hobby. I don't see how it could.
If forums do create problems for the individual, there are probably larger issues for that individual that need to be dealt with.
I have absolutely benefited from forums like this because they have offered me educational programs and materials that I would not have access to otherwise.
I would like to see forums for our hobby succeed but a lot of the scientists that contributed early on have left. That's too bad.
We are only left with the research papers they have left behind.
I understand what Reef Pilot is saying about seeing is believing as far as what to use for guidance for getting the best out of your aquarium, but short term glamor is not an indicator of long term success.
I see a lot of anecdotal evidence creeping back in and being taken for as fact. That will set our hobby back again.
