I think the buy/sell thread should be the only ones that should be able to be edited. There's some posts in the lounge that have been edited in the past with guys back peddling on things they've said after being called out on something. Specifically the Random Thoughts Thread. I've asked for it to be removed from Canreef with no luck. I just don't read the garbage thread anymore, it's just that easy. Other than that there's nothing really needed for the site. It's good.

This would be interesting. It would probably get off topic fast...but interesting none the less.

We had that for a while. It went off track in about 5 minutes and got forgotten in a couple weeks

The thing with that, and a pet peeve of mine, is that people remove items as they're sold, or adjust pricing in place, etc. I really like to have a historical database of what sold for how much. It's a good reference when buying or selling. I don't think we can just allow titles without body content getting edited, and regardless of us asking people not to remove things, they still do.

your telling me

I kinda like the university idea, but the problem comes up that is it going to be a Canadian university?, if so there won't be a lot of stuff applicable to us as most of there studies are cold water stuff, so a lot of differences, so that would be my only question. the other issue is to get a regular post on related topics from a university, it is going to take more than a little donation, to get a large segment of there time and dedication it would take some big bucks.

there are other ways to "piggyback" on articles and such with subscription services, but I have know idea what they would cost and so on.

I know years ago when ever some one would find an interesting read they would post a link to it and there used to be a lot of discussion on it, but that doesn't seam to happen anymore.

so I guess what I would like to see is a lot more user posted stuff like the old days, we all learned a heck of a lot in a short period of time, mind you we didn't have to many sponsors that we would upset by posting how to make stuff in the DIY forum. so I don't know how much of a concern that would be, and I don't want to be banned for two years for exposing the reality of a deceptive product like I did on reef central .

Just an example of the kinds of threads started that revamping the site would help
I'm sure many of us would benefit from stickies and an up to date library

Setting up a new sump

I've seen many posts on this particular topic over the last quarter, and I've seen many helpful responses from our members
I've personally responded to enough of them on sumps over the last year that I've stopped getting involved

It would definately help everyone if these kinds of topics/answers were easier for everyone to find

for buy and selling location simply have people put city in post title. As for entering SOLD, extend time before edit feature is locked out.
