Reef Central is down for the count

[Doug]

Well, seeing as you guys wish to discuss it. C,mon. The flaming crap about RC is just that. CRAP. Sure, lots more threads get a bit side tracked and some flaming takes place but look at the amount of posts daily.

Do you really think if the board had a bad rep it would be one of the largest internet boards in the world. Its been a great reefing board since the day it started and continues to this day. Like most of the boards, it has its problems but that the internet is it not.

I have seen other boards come and go but when they go down, it not a frenzy post on every other aquarium board like when RC does.

Canreef is my home board, but RC was for many years, since its inception and is still one I read and post on daily. Why cant we frequent several great aquarium boards. The more the merrier, IMO. RC is packed with great reefing info and many great members, many with whom I have been friends with since before the board even started. IMO, its loss would be sad for our reefing community.

Its just now, with all the great members, sponsors and info on Canreef, and it being our Canadian board, THIS, is the one I spend most of my time on.

and I dont think the promotion of another similar board, {esp. sponsored}, is the best thing on any particular board, {which is why most are closed elsewhere}, I dont see nothing wrong with the odd discussion on something like this or the links to various articles we see now & then. Thats my own view at least, not necc. the view of Canreef itself.

Dez, as far as I know, he retired and spends time down south, so sold of his aquariums.

Nope it's not Bob, it's Paul.

Ice Cap did a snow job, why would that be a surprise, inquiring minds want to know.

I don't mind seeing them back. Am hoping they would get a new Reefkeeping magazine up though.

Thats another well known board. They also ban you for the use of the letter 'U' in words such as colour!

Hmm, I haven't been to RC in forever. Is it still around? I guess Canreef gives me all I need....
