I'm in the process of shutting down my tank and read the new rules (and today's drama). My plan is to hold my tank and equipment and give things a year to decide whether or not to start back up.
The forum always slows over the summer, but I'm now thinking of selling off everything as this has always been a great place to buy/sell, im not sure it will be around in a year. With the frustration others have demonstrated with the change in rules, long time, active, valued members banned, I doubt many will return. This hurts the forum as the experience goes with them, which is what this forum was when I first joined.
Based on what I read today, I hope the mods will reconsider this change and if it appears someone is commercially selling frags or running a basement business, deal with that individual, and leave the rest of the community to enjoy the hobby. Just my 0.02.
