I think you are over analyzing this. FWIW purple hornets are not rare, just expensive, and that's a shame. I for one am not trying to see any coral stay RARE. I guess I could have not told anyone and kept it rare and expensive in this area too. I don't see what there is to lose by signing up and posting 25 times. As far as shipping goes. all corals are shipped overnight for about 50 bucks. i would assume that others know this going in. I know three others have signed up. But you have made your concerns known, and can move on. Thanks.
Well since you like to blunt allow me to do the same. I for 1 made it a point to let you know I was not bashing. All I was doing was letting you know what could happen in place of getting the free polyp. You,re right you dont have anything to lose for signing up for free & making 25 meaningful post other than your time. You also stated they had about 150 members as of the other day. How many do they have now? If all those people are doing like you do you really think they have the inventory of Hornets to spread the love? As more people join & make post it will move them up quickly in the google directory & it will grow really fast. This happens all the time when theres something really nice & free. On top of that you & the others have made there site grow. As far as your last comment about moving on, If all you want is someone to agree with you or give you a great job or a way to go then a public forum is not for you. All I did was offter a different scenerio to what may happen, It wasnt a attack or a bash.
Also you are correct that standard shipping is pretty standard of 50.00 overnight for corals, but thats for someone actually spending money & making a purchase, not for a free expensive Polyp, they will want to make something for the handling or put shipping really out there, thats just my opion. On top of that you are already trying to combine shipping on multiple free polyps, seriously do you think thats gonna happen? I will say this 1 more time. I hope you get it, you spend alot of time looking for great deals & bargains & I hope it pans out for you.
Well get it or not...I had a good time on the forum the other day. I got to meet some new people, swap some tank pics, and had just an all around fun time. If I get the zoa- then I can dance around. If not, I still had fun.
It seems everytime someone has something to say or show off, someone else on here has something negative to say about it. I don't for the life of me see why this has to continue. I know most of you remember the huge drama when I made an idiot of myself with Saltydawg. Others made almost identical comments, I got jumped on and had the good grace to publicly apologize. Maybe a few others could follow the example or go with if you can't something nice then shut up!
The past few months have been nothing but a power struggle on here about who gets to be in charge. What a waste of time! That if nothing else will drive me to look for fun on other boards. I am sure some of you are thinking so what, we don't need her. True one person is not a lot but eventually others will follow and that will be the end of the club.
Adrian did not have to share his find. I for one am grateful. Maybe some others could try to be too.
Still I dont see what Ive said negative, I was just looking at the big picture when to many people look for something for nothing & the amount of people are far greater than the product. I was basically saying dont get your hopes up to high because it sucks if you get let down. It seems to me you jumped on the trash tallking bandwagon because I just stated something that could happen. I in no way said anything hateful or out of line.
As far as the power struggle, I dont think there ever was 1. It was a small little debate over a couple of issues, it pretty much stayed in 1 thread. You had a chance as well as everyone else to speak your mind. Its over with now & time to moove on. I for 1 am probably the most laid back person you will ever meet & if you reember Im the 1 that has said numerous times it should be fun.
I dont know about you guys. But my life is pretty crazy and when I do get to spend time on here I want to have fun. If I wanted to argue I would go over to my inlaws.
I agree totally.
I apologize if this was long winded but seriously, theres always gonna be a different way of looking at things especially on a forum. Theres no need to get worked all up over the small stuff. Go ahead & bash me all you want now.
Have a wonderful day & Merry Christmas.:idea:
