I want to thank everyone for the support they showed in that thread last night. Its really great to have you guys as my guests and I really appreciate the patience as this has been a HUGE endeavour and not without delays and complications. Its nice to hear people realize that I suffer all the problems everyone else does with a tank times several hundred tanks. Add a dry stock section and invite the public daily and it becomes a little more work.

I was nice to hear some people voice that I've still got a ways to go to be what this shop can be. A swift kick is good for motivation sometimes.

You guys rule. Anything you need, let me know.

I especially want to thank Richard for starting the thread. Thanks man.

Did miss the thread? I can't find it.

I'm guessing it was deleted. It wasn't very nice.

Good thing it's gone then.

it wasn't very nice?
i simply asked if i had been going in on the wrong days.
hey you know what? I enjoy going to all the fish stores around town, the people are friendly the fish are nice to look at as well as the corals.

is it my fault that you don't take the dead fish out of your tank and i posted about it?
hey how about saying HI when a potential customer comes in, i came in one day and you looked at me as though i was there to inconvenience you. and every other time i have come in i have not been greeted.

i simply posted to see what other customers thought of your store, and maybe see if there were good days to go.

I enjoy Golds more than any of the other stores in town because the people there are friendly and they greet you and chit chat no matter how busy they are. as well if you think that I am the only person on the board that enjoys being greeted you are wrong. i understand that all fish stores will have dead fish and corals in their tanks from time to time. but come on how long does it take to take a couple dead fish out ESPECIALLY when you have as many in your tanks as you do at least one dead fish for every 2 tanks!

why was the thread deleted last night? and why did i not receive an email or pm, in case i was breaking some forum rules it would be nice to be informed of my mis-compliance. if anyone knows?

I only really shop at one store because of the people that opperate it. I'll probably just keep going there for as long as I'm in this hobby.

Ok. Guys, you're forcing me to put my moderator's hat on for a second.

The thread was removed because we don't allow vendor reviews here. Sorry. Sometimes one or two might get missed but when they get high profile enough to be noticed they get removed. Again I'm sorry but you won't find many boards that do allow the practise. This was something that was learned the hard way.

If your thread gets removed and you don't get a warning PM, consider it a freebie. It means you're not in trouble, but the thread had questionable content (it may not even be by the thread originator) that gets it removed from the public eye. We do sometimes try to PM people but sometimes it's just not practical to PM everyone, so sometimes it will happen it just gets removed without an explanation.

I think missing something here just gets everyone wondering and speculating. Just IMHO.

True, .. I'll try to be more proactive about any thread I move. But I can't always do it for those where it's not me pulling the strings.
