Does anyone feel like this board has become

lando how r ya buddy!some of u guys with big mature tanks probably have enough critters to dispose of the body parts ..hmm still be stuck with the bones tho...
 
I disagree...there has def been an influx of "low post count gimme gimme gimme" threads.

Not a big deal, but it's nice to have an introduction from them before they post wanting all our used equipt for pennies lol.


Yes, that was my point. There is a high number of "I am new here, ok that being said, I am looking for an used reef ready rimless 120g with stand"

Just seems odd.

forum seems ok. IMO the FS/ot isn't that bad. it's more like the good posts are less frequent. maybe a surge in overpriced hooptie tanks. i 'll throw my name in the hat for grumpy old bstd award. i don't leave the house enough to want to kill anyone. maybe someone could start a good phil thread? mermaids?

Apparently, I am in the minority. Let the lf threads with 1 post to your name continue. Who knew I would become the cranky old person.
 
Well I was going to put up a list of frags for trade but I could do a writeup on organic carbon dosing and bacteria in reeftanks with q and a instead if folks prefer. Figured if I just did another arcane thread I might get invited to Gary's basement as a target,though.

LOL!

Tom I think with 16k posts, you can thread up anything you darn well please! ;)
 
I remember when Paul B's tank was only 25 years old, Gary G lit his house on fire via a Icecap ballast, Gary M was on his first "Canvas", and frag swaps were 15 of us and a few cases of beer in the coolers that were not filled with frags. It was like "hey you want to trade this Todds torch for some of that really easy to get frogspawn" and oh hey here's a free purple tang I'll through in. Still like the buy, sell, trade threads though... kept my hobby addiction going all these years!

There is actually a lot of this stuff going on but its in smaller amounts behind the scenes. I think there are a lot of people on these boards these days here strictly to use people to get free stuff. I know i am not the only person to say this off the boards but probably the only person to say it out loud. There are a ton of shady people floating around rc right now and I think its causing a lot of off board trading.
 
I don't have a tank down there yet but does anyone want to come see my basement its pretty nice.......
