i brought the ocean home
I joined over a month ago paid emailed every member listed on the home page for help about not being able to log in. no card in the mail and no help thank you so much for emailing me back telling me I'm not missing much on the site and not fixing my issue I mean really if this how someone new into the hobby gets treated. I could of really of used the ctars forms last few weeks I would just like to thank you so much for all of your help on not doing anything
 
Sad but true the forums on Ctars don't get used it was sad it got handled that way but the website don't get used enough so I think they closed the forums on there and everyone just uses this one no one ever even checks the Ctars forum only thing I use that site for is our discounts
 
I cant get discounts no card kinda hard explaining to the lfs y I don't have one I didn't just want to join for that either meetings and people I have met a lot of members great people

No, please don't misunderstand my question. I'm just curious at your approach and wondered if it was a young persons impatience or an older persons disappointment of being neglected. That's all I meet a lot of people on this forum and ages vary so it's hard to tell from ones screen name if its a college student or a retired person nothing to do with your legitimate question just me reading post and thought out loud on this one feel free to ignore it no harm meant lol. For what's its worth I don't think anyone uses the other just this one good luck
 
I would PM one of the CTARS club moderators / board members on here if you need a direct answer. You've been a member on this forum for a while now, so you should have an idea of who runs things.

The CTARS group is incredibly friendly and helpful. And to be brutally honest any worthwhile fish store in the Connecticut area doesn't need to physically see your card - you mention CTARS and you will get the discount. Most LFS owners and employees have accounts on the reef central website and frequent these forums. If the LFS you go to won't honor a discount without the card, you may want to bring that up with the club President and VP as well - it's understandable and makes sense but most stores have an understanding with our club. When I paid a year ago it took nearly two months to get my card. These guys aren't paid to do this work, it's an addition to their hobby and they have a lot of responsibility on their shoulders. They are juggling full time jobs, families, and other things besides the hobby's meetings, CMAC, etc.

I know it can be frustrating or upsetting to not get the help you need, but taking it back out on the community won't get your issue resolved any faster or with better results. We are the people you want to integrate with, not distance.

I'm sure you'll get your problem fixed, but best of luck regardless.

I'm will be 27 in Jan had to vent emailed James greg and Eric also posted on the ctars membership sticky on top and nothing mite seem silly but if you try everything and get nothing kinds sucks
 
In no way or form would I want to speak badly about anyone or group and by no means be rude or want to distance anyone from myself
 
They normaly mail a card or you get it at ur next meeting with cmac going on I'm sure they just over looked it I appolagize. The only reason I pay my membership is so I can go to meetings the discount is a plus the stores bend over backwards for us you get ur membership back on ur first visit to pc or fintastics and if you talk to them and explain what's going on with out a doubt they would give you the discount great people we deal with
