Default My pet peeve of the Board

Is it me or do some people just post about there tank to Bragg. And not contribute to the board. I was looking at some of the present posts and past posts from members on here.

It just seems that some people are posting just to show off their tank and not care on helping others out or assisting in others of there new set ups.
May be I'm just in a crappy mood. Sorry to vent like this but every since I started on this board back in 2002 I think this board has helped me out so much and the people are amazing. But some reefer here just get on the board to sell something or try to make money and not really give any advice or assistance to any one....


But i dear say the certain people who i call the most are,
Doug
Gools
Joe Reefer.

They must shake their head at me some days....

thanks every one for listening.

In many respects I agree with you on a number of counts. I have found. however, that when someone offers advice (often something they learned from experience), other people who know very little just argue with that advice.

Recently there are a few threads i have thought the exact same thing. Im pretty sure you are thinking of the same one as me too. But I do enjoy seeing some incredible tanks, somthing for me to strive for. It seems some people just expect the praise and when they dont get it they get message board angry.

In my defense, I live in the sticks and never share my tank with any reefy people (except Chaloupa who was just here the other day ). I do agree that sometimes people aren't much interested in listening to those with experience. Others don't make use of our lovely search function

Oh and for those that are interested please go HERE

I totally agree that it gives us something to strive for. Seeing their nice tanks will provoke the rest of us to as "How'd you do dat??" And so a discussion about their setup will ensue.

I'm not sure what the problem is? I like seeing threads about different people's set-ups, and if theres pictures even better. If there were only threads asking for help, almost all questions could be answered with a search. That would make for a pretty boring board wouldn't it?

Dont worry, maybe he is just in a crappy mood as he said.

As long as members are coming back to this site, there is no problem at all.

I think the thread was hijacked. I believe what he was refering to was those who post pics and FS items, but don't participate when someone has a question/concern. It happens.
