personal rant about forums (and canreef)

[Zylumn]

I am addicted to the reef keeping hobby and find reef forums my pharmacy. As of late though I have seen canreef inundated with non-reef threads. This has caused me to periodically feed my addiction elsewhere. SeaHorse_Fanatic this could be the reason for the considerable slow-down on this site. There are about 20 or so people on this site that whatever they post I read for interest, learning, and respect sake and as long as they remain so will I remain. Kwirky continue with your reef contributions, they are valuable and fuel my reef addiction.

I missed this thread last night at 2am because the board went unresponsive. So I had to wait until morning to see this.

Seriously, don't feel self-conscious about the post count. Every now and again we poke fun at ourselves with the padding threads, but it's just good fun. Post and ramble away! ("Hi, Kettle, my name is Pot. My, you are black.")

BTW, thank you for the comments about Canreef. We work hard to keep this an "open" and "friendly" board and it's really nice to hear that this is appreciated.

When I saw the title of the thread "Rant about Canreef" I thought, "Uhoh, they've finally figured out what a useless tool I am and they're saying 'Please get rid of Delphinus as he's a worthless post hog'."

Yeah, can-reef is my home page too, lol. I log on several times a day here, with AlbertaAquatica in close second. One of my favorite things about it is that on this forum there is a definite chance of running into "forum folks" in real life, which in itself is pretty cool.

Living in a smaller city it is even more helpful as there aren't too many people close by who could offer me reefing advice right when I really need it and on the forum there are many people with differing views and experiences to draw upon for wisdom, which is IMO a big plus. Thanks everyone for making this a great place to virtually hang out for this noobie-reef-nerd!
