Default Some people just don't get it.....

I think some people need to remember a few things...
I don't recall paying anything for the use of the forum.
I've benefitted greatly from using it, both in knowledge asked and left by people.
The ability to buy and sell both new(from venders) and used from other members.
I've met a lot of great people, willing to help out in a pinch. Whether it be feeding my fish and watching the tank while I was gone, or just sitting around BSing. A few of the people I've met through Canreef are now some of my closest friends.
If there's a need, and for me there has been on one or two occasions. Where a mod has had to step in and help and diffuse a situation, they're there quickly.
Some people have forgotten this, and seem to think that this forum is there own personal tool that should bend to their every wish.
I'd like everyone to think for one moment about this. What if this forum was to suddenly stop. Shutdown indefinitely. Then what? Where would you go to get the information and guidance that we've all used from this site at one time or another?
This forum, regardless of what others have said in the recent past, is possibly the best forum in Canada.
Here's what I think. If you think that things on this forum are that bad, move on.
And remember, this site doesn't run itself. The mods are the backbone of this forum and are needed.....

Well said. Well said.

I wouldn't know what to do with all of my spare time at work if Canreef were to suddenly dissapear... I would go nuts. Youtube can only provide me with so much entertainment!

If you have issues with how this site is moderated, you probably don't belong to many other online forums...

We are given quite a bit of leeway on this site.

Agree with all the positive comments made here about the mods. We have it very good here. Glad to see more of the silent majority speak up.

Also, I appreciate the level headed and common sense approach to some of the frivolous complaints and requests. The mods did not overreact or cave in, but instead offered clear explanations, without offense to anyone. That is a very mature approach, and the alternative would not have been pretty. We should all be very thankful of that.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

As I just started keeping a marine tank I searched the internet high and low for a good place for information and friendly people. I have to say this is the best in terms of people and participation. As a newb I've felt very welcome here and people don't talk down to each other like they do on a lot of forums.

Keep up the good work everyone! Mods and members both.
