There's no 4 post per year rule that I keep hearing about. It's 4 threads per year and 20 frag types per thread. So theoretically, you can sell 80 types of frags per year in as many quantities per type and you can post as often as you like since you can use the "Reply" button in a thread to add more frags for sale (up to 20 max per thread).

If this rule affects people because they have more than 80 types of corals for sale per year, that's a really really impressive hobbyist setup they have there.

Looks like I missed all the fun as well.

I am not a sponsor but I am a business owner and I am willing to pay to advertise on the site. Anyone else that is a business or wanna be business should pay as well. The problem is Titus needs to pull his head out of the sand and charge everyone the same price! Word travels, very few people paid the same for advertising.

Also titus has to realize the world is chaning. Facebook is free. Canreef....... the prices I get quoted are WAY TOO much for what its worth. Hence why I am not a sponsor.

To clarify I have not read the new rules. And apparently I missed the fun thread. But canreef does charge too much for me to sponsor but thats not up to me to decide.

So I will continue to be a lurker until prices come back into line.

And Titus remember facebook is Freeeeeee, thats your competition these days.......

Perhaps Sam is right. Maybe people don't understand this.

You post 5 frags in a thread Jan 1. You bump it anytime you like. Add more frags, bump some more. Post that you have frags. Many more not pictured. Add some more. Bump it into spring. Add a couple more. Up to 20 frags in a thread. Make a new thread May 1. Repeat. Keep going. You can have active threads with up to 80 frags going all year. Of the 80 advertised, you'll sell 400. That should supp the salt purchases. almost nobody here even has that many. With a full 180 SPS tank and a large frag tank, I didn't have that many. Not even close.

FYI, I have mentioned this A couple times.

One last thing, alot of people come to these forums to see all the shiney new corals. If you have more sponsors you will have more people posting shiney new corals which will make people come to this forum more often.

To answer this directly, with a couple of points, no, and I think you did.

You are entitled to 4 threads. You can post a thread containing up to 20 frags/corals. If you post with one, you can add 19 more anytime you want. You can bump it, you can add to it, you can insert a picture of your new puppy. It can run forever and you can bump it or add to it anytime you like. You can do this with 4 threads in a year. This keep it organized without limiting you in what you can post.
However, looking at the one you already have, your last bump was before taking it to J&L for credit, so I'm not entirely sure this even affects you. Others, like Ryan that post a lot, can still post a lot. So when you log in, there can always be new stuff you haven't seen, rather than just a repeat thread of the same pieces as a person's last thread.

I ask that people that think they are affected simply play along for 6 months. If it's really not working, let us know via PM and we'll look at it.
