On topic...I'm not sure what the Canreef stats are as far as activity/post (or whatever measurement means would be used) compared to a few years ago, but I think that the overall industry is going through a bit of a downturn. Economy possibly, but I would imagine with what I've seen and heard, it would be reflective in activity here too.

I disagree, I've watched many more people start up nano's this year than any other year at the store. Most people I've sent here have reported back that they're too afaraid to post here because of the trolls.

I've watched a few newbies get turned away because of a few holier than thou attitude that some keybaord commandos have on here.

I've also noticed growth on social network groups like facebook, and I wonder if its just easier to buy/sell/trade with locals?

I've never had trouble with mods they do great work, its too bad they don't have a troll seeker button when a newbie is getting picked on so that they could ban them!

I'll admit I've not been on in a while, but that's because I have 4 tanks now, and that's partially canreefs' fault!

I feel like I should start giving back now (I do at the store) but maybe visiting once a week might be a good start.



Cheers,



Steve

speaking of posts... for some reason, my post counter is always stuck in the 200s. I think it's funny and I hope that the mods never fix it.

The troll quotient may be true to a degree as I have seen it in other forums I frequent. However, I'm reporting what I see in the broader sense across the country from an industry point of view. In your circle you may see an increase in interest, but I'm just saying that may not necessarily be the case in other areas. In fact, it's not.

What is meant by a troll? Do they live under the Canreef bridge?

Out of the dozen or so forums I frequent I would say Canreef has the least trolls by a very large margin.

I have to agree some forums are just plain nasty!

A troll is someone who frequently hijacks a thread or makes irrelevant posts. Someone not unlike myself..
