well you know how it is, when one person complains that we're not transparent and obviously we have our own agenda and hide whats REALLY going on from the members of a FREE forum that is provided by a PRIVATE individual, its really hard not to get pi$$ed off about the whole thing. Its people like yourself that in your "lightheartedness" really cause the most damage. Personally I think its interesting that in one breath you're accusing us of having said agenda and in the next its all sunshine and happiness.

I don't have a problem with people who are bothered that the mods aren't more open etc. We have our reasons for what we do. Perhaps you should try being a moderator some time and see just what kind of BS goes on. I mean 95% of the time its really fun but that 5% of the time really makes me want to just quit altogether.

I have been an Admin on a few smaller forums, nothing as large as Canreef but from what I had to deal with in those I can sumise that those 5% really don't make it that fun for you (and if you want to place me in that group then I'm truly really sorry and I will try and quell my posts). What secret agenda are you talking about though, I would think that your agenda is towards oporating the forum for its general good. I know that the only thing you get out of forum is the knowledge and enjoyment of discussing the hobby with fellow reefers, thats what I'm here for also. For the record though, I would absolutly love to mod here.

Yes, you can blame that on my teenage hormones

. Really though, my posts through out have not been directed anger on the mods just my continous curiousity of how things work.
