Serious!?! Those are facts not fiction redneck, please resume hoarding guns and being racist :P

I like gun rights yes, I'm also married to a minority so no not racist.

^^That is a foul' date=' Kriz2fer. I'm going to refrain from calling you a troglodyte for now... Since you've managed to assure the thread is about to be closed anyway. [/quote']

 

take however you want man. look at what happened.

now we can stop that president. .. the people have spoken.

people went to the polls and nobody cared about climate change or other crazy libreal ideas, nobody cared about gun control, nobody believes this nonsense war on woman lies. they care about the money in bank and shows. now let's try to improve this horrible economy that's bestowed upon us.

It's use to be a 20 dollar gift. is that still the deal?

 

You can run a tank without water. How about being specific about size and frequency?

 

a 10 to 15 percent water change weekly should be fine in his system without a skimmer. there are a ton of people running full blown sps tanks without skimmers so I think in your case it should be sufficient.

You can run the tank without a skimmer. just do weekly water changes and you'll be just fine.

You can run your tank without a skimmer. just do some water changes weekly and you should be just fine.

yeah the hobby really isn't fun without the interaction of local members. I'm remember some old guys that use to be on the forum who hung out with and that was probably the funnest time I ever had in the reefing hobby.

no please don't misunderstand me. I love pnwmas, it's the only forum I visit still but I wouldn't know what I know toady without reef central. pnwmas Is more like a club to me then a forum.

And you are ranting about what? This is kind of like the geico commercial where the dude says' date=' "everybody knows that."[/quote']

 

The wealth of knowledge on that forum is unmatched anywhere in this hobby, from new equipment, aqua scape, testing methods to bacteria control. it's an international forum with people from all over Asia to Germany bringing new ideas and info. I would say a majority of everything we know here at pnwmas was first introduced at reef central. if more people spent a majority of the time on reef central we would be more knowledgeable.

So you are confused because members here are also on Reef2Reef but not Reefcentral? Almost everyone I know here is a member of all 3 and Nano-reef, I guess I'm missing the point?

 

There is no affiliation between Reef2Reef and PNWMAS.

there is no point. lol its called a rant.

 

I am going with MAGIC

how many samples have you sent in? please fill me in on your extensive knowledge on the subject

For this analysis, samples need to filtered as soon as possible. Particulate phosphorus will be degraded into more PO4, depending on bacteria, sample temperatures, lots of factors

is there some kinda of connection from reef 2 reef to pnwmas? I have noticed a lot of members here are members of reef 2 reef also. I guess the surprise is the forums is relatively small compared to reef central, In comparison reef 2 reef has 45,000 members and reef central has close to 300, 000. some of the brightest stars in this hobby frequently contribute to that forum. not to mention a majority of the topics posted there started over at reef central. I guess it's a little rant be never understood the connection.

you do understand that your levels will change over the course of the shipping process? by the time they got you sample levels could have been different.

great okay.

I liked being able to see who was reading the thread I was reading.

fix the signatures or allow it to function.

and....that's all I can think of niw

 

 

Dictators? Security dictated change in this case - not us. Why couldn't we keep the same look? You know, honestly, we could have matched it pretty well to the same. Why didn't we? Because you can't have progress without change. Every time facebook changes something, the same thing happens... people complain about a free service changing. Yet, facebook didn't include you in this change, did they? Nor does google consult you everytime they change the look and feel of Gmail. They do it, you get used to it, and the world keep spinning.

 

You don't want that extra click to get to the forums? Man.. That seems pretty silly to me. If you had to gripe, you had to reach pretty deep to pull that one out. Hurt your fingernails on the bottom of the bucket?

 

In the overly justified world you've created in your mind, all changes from the color of the teeth on a smiley face to the core forum engine and security patches that happen would all go through the members and ultimately everybody would have the yay/nay on new features.

 

Here's how it works in the real world. In the real world, too many cooks in the kitchen causes chaos and decisions never get made. Making everybody happy is impossible. Board of directors and officers are assigned to make the decisions that would otherwise never get made. That's why they exist. See facebook/gmail example above.

 

Frankly, I'm insulted that I spent so much time working on this...I poured many MANY hours of my life into helping this site... stayed up until 5 in the morning, bleary eyed - only to wake up to complaints and insults. Luckily, I'm pretty thick skinned and I'm not going to let a handful of grumpy people stop me from helping the major majority of this site.

 

Honestly, I kept it pretty open in my original thread saying that suggestions were welcomed and that change was not impossible going forward. I'm still open to change. How about giving some of that constructive criticism my mother used to tell me about? There's a reason those other sites stay stagnant.. and that's because they fear change because of responses like this.

 

I, however, am not afraid.

The best thing to do is not respond to these comments. I can understand your frustration after long hours and hard work trying to please people with good intentions but people don't like change and there probably nothing you can say to change there hearts. you have the keys to this forum, so do what you think is best and Ignore the negative. as a leader you want to separate your self. just listen to the people and make needed adjustments.

it needs to have the front page with all the recent post. that was very convenient.

Dang wallerys pizza? that's a long drive.

wow looks like a well runner meeting and nice picture also. thanks

pictures?

Okay good as long as someone got some good shots.

where are the pictures?

you can cut those aluminum strips a lot smaller where they barely connect the 2 lights. looks a lot cleaner with less metal.
