My pet peeve of the Board
Is it me or do some people just post about there tank to Bragg. And not contribute to the board. I was looking at some of the present posts and past posts from members on here.
It just seems that some people are posting just to show off their tank and not care on helping others out or assisting in others of there new set ups. May be I'm just in a crappy mood. Sorry to vent like this but every since I started on this board back in 2002 I think this board has helped me out so much and the people are amazing. But some reefer here just get on the board to sell something or try to make money and not really give any advice or assistance to any one....  But i dear say the certain people who i call the most are, Doug Gools Joe Reefer. They must shake their head at me some days.... thanks every one for listening.

In many respects I agree with you on a number of counts. I have found. however, that when someone offers advice (often something they learned from experience), other people who know very little just argue with that advice.

Recently there are a few threads i have thought the exact same thing. Im pretty sure you are thinking of the same one as me too. But I do enjoy seeing some incredible tanks, somthing for me to strive for. It seems some people just expect the praise and when they dont get it they get message board angry.

In my defense, I live in the sticks and never share my tank with any reefy people (except Chaloupa who was just here the other day
 ). I do agree that sometimes people aren't much interested in listening to those with experience. Others don't make use of our lovely search function Oh and for those that are interested please go HERE 689 views and only 29 responses? Come on people, you can do better than that!

Double pfft on the sticks things - in a corney Aussie accent "Now that's the sticks". Wanna know how many fellow reefers live at mile 66 of the Alaska Highway?
 Anyway back to the thread - hijacking is totally appropriate for lounge though. I guess people come on the board for different reasons. Some to share and gain knowledge from others, some to buy and sell stuff, some to just lurk and others looking for either praise or to reinforce what they have already decided is the best way to do something. Maybe they are thinking those of us that offer advise are a bunch of know it all SOB's.

Haha, Ok "stick" statement retracted. Lets just say I live in an area that has a low reefer density (we're talking saltwater here
).I thought we were a bunch of know it all SOBs (unless we're dealing with electrical problems )

I'm with Marie and Christy...we are in the sticks...we don't get much chance to show off and I waited 2 years to show mine off. I always like to look at other tanks as I know I won't get to their house to see them. I find that I learn a lot from viewing their setup and stuff...but I do agree that when you post a picture of your tank or your fish etc that you should be prepared to get the good the bad and the ugly comments or in some cases none at all.
I find it offensive when someone does post their tank, which is their pride and joy and people hack it with no value. How about giving IME or IMO suggestions instead? I think that I have learned what I have to date because of the help of the people that do contribute to furthering the reef hobby for others and read all of the posts and add their 2 cents. I know I read almost every post on the board as I may get a little bit more out of it. P.S. Christy's tank is awesome! It was really nice to be able to see her tanks. And thanks again for "frag-sitting" P.S.S. Ok yah Ruth you got us beat on the "sticks" part of it...but if I am EVER in your area I will expect an invite!
