Titus would like it if were like RC, but not I

I guess if that's the way you want to see it. If there were 1000 active tank journals on CanReef you could bet that only the biggest, most awesome journals would get replies. Even here on CanReef there are few replies on newbie tank journal threads.

Back to the subject though, I don't think adding another forum to CanReef would be anywhere near Reef Central category.

And there in is the problem. I have been on RC since its beginning. Love the board but its all the posting in the local forums, that I dislike. And many of the best threads are in those local forums.

Thats one thing we do not want here, but as for a sub forum for corals in the reefing forum,
I think its a waste of time on a smaller board myself, but have no problem with it. Like others said, does no harm so fine in my view.

I've added a sub forum to Reef called Corals. That's as granular as I think we need to get with our volume.

My thoughts exactly. In a day the Active Threads generally don't exceed 3 pages and close to half of those are buy/sell related.
