nixnutz and Bytore will be hosting the winter meeting for North Central PA Aquarium Reef Society
February 8, 2004 at the Hegins Fire Co. Hall in Hegins, Pa 17938
I can leave my cell number just in case and if somebody else wants to add a number that is fine too in case.
570 337 9069
So who is coming and what are we trading ?
:celeb3:

I think we might need the address just for those who are using computer to get directions... We will have a link in the site for this too.

If y'all would like, I can add a have/want page to the site. So long as you keep me updated, I will be able to update the page. That should help with the 'mile long thread' problem. Send the lists to ncpars@hotmail.com, with the subject 'Have/Want List'. Include your name, RC handle, e-mail (optional), items you have, items you want, and arranged trades.

Of course, if no one likes this idea, I won't do it. :D

by the way guys
anyone else got any local pet shops to sponser the club wheather it's a donation to the school project or something we can raffle off as a prize for our home tanks. lets not forget what the club is about. i love getting frags for my tank as much as the next guy but we need to educate the public to since there airen't alot of pet stores that sell coralsand some are over priced anyway

anyone else thoughts

As it stands I will be there and I have posted notice of it and this thread in the PARC forum to get the Philly people out. I'm sure someone like MadDrama can stir up the NJ crowd. As for frags... I'll start posting a little further down the road.

And BTW I can throw at least a good frag in the raffle pot and I'll bring a gallon of wicked chili con queso and some chips.

nixnutz
11/28/2003, 02:43 PM
:thumbsup: on the chilli con queso!!!

I knew I could count on you. Don't forget to save me a wicked nice zo frag. I'll email you some pics of what I got and you can pick one you don't have. Deal?

Bmkindig-ByTor and I are working on a couple sponsors and I'll make sure I got something this time for the school project.

zooqi
11/29/2003, 03:32 PM
oh,, I have not been on the puter for more than 24 hrs (I feel sick):) I have been busy with black Friday and driving all over PA today.

The gift certificate that you have can be used toward salinity tester that they need (the old one is not correct) and I have been using mine. They also need mag float (The biggest one)

I will see what I can do as for my setup and not sure if I will be able to put something together or no but I will know right before the meeting. You know that if I want to put a system together there I can do it in a couple of hours running and ready to go but I will have to see since is not that close to me but I will try. I will try to put deals together like last time too. :)

Thank you, I got tons of them and I usually keep the once that are in a good condition. If there is anybody else who wants them then you can bring them. This is one of those things that my wife complains about that they are all over. I take them to the garbage all the time.

Looking for

Bugs, Large show size Soft corals except leathers, finger leathers, Kenya Trees.

What I have
zo's, zo's, zo's, zo's and zoanthids :)
I can't pick certain colors and send pictures of each individual because I got tons of them and getting hundreds more in a week or two but I go with frags (for example if you tell me that you want to have 10 different frags or 40 different frags or so and you can email me to discuss trade, sell.. my colors are super nice and they will be frags of zo's from different areas of the world. At the last meeting I had them as a whole rock but this time I have broken them to small pieces so everybody get different colors.

zooqi
11/30/2003, 02:06 AM

I was reading about a meeting in Ohio where everyone brought a container of there sand and put it into a large bin and at the end of the meeting it was mixed and everyone got out the amount they put in. Has anyone ever done something similiar to share bugs, I think this is a good idea if it would work, what do you guys think?

yellowtruck75
11/30/2003, 07:47 PM
Mo
You said you are looking for large soft corals, what about a large piece of colt? My Colt is huge and out of control ask Snookie he saw it. I think it doubled since the last meeting where I fragged the heck out of it.

zooqi
11/30/2003, 09:26 PM
I need corals like a foot wide or wider or close to a foot. You got pm. Mixing sand and getting different bacteria is an idea. Bugs can be collected from a system and some sand might be mixed with it with some gravels. Some companies sell them. I got tons of different kinds of bugs and I'm sure there are others that I don't have. I have a diamond loop that I used to look at them all the time and I'm working on a camera that I can take some pictures of them soon and hope this week.

I have a huge frag of the sinualria that is quite close to a 10" across when fully open. It has in a nice greenish/blue hue to it. You guys who like blue lighting will definately see it :-).

zooqi
12/01/2003, 11:41 PM
It seems that we have two threads about frag list for the meeting and it makes it hard to know which one to follow and where to post. I don't know if we should post the same list in both threads or what so everybody can see. What do you guys think?

71goalie
12/02/2003, 09:22 AM
I just found this thread. The meeting looks like a possibility for me & my wife, as long as I remember to tell her to take off from work. I don't have any frags but I have some dead presidents. It would also be nice to finally meet everyone. To whomever is keeping a head count, I will let them know my final status in a few weeks or so.

Brad: The young kid @ Shear Heaven is Shawn (Sp??). It's taken my wife & I a few times going to the store to get him to "warm" up to us. I've found that as long as you don't go in there acting like you know everything there is to know about saltwater, they are pretty friendly, including Jim, especially if you let your wife do the talking! ;)

nixnutz
12/02/2003, 12:48 PM
I agree MO. We should let this thread die. Create a new thread called "Frag swap-Feb 8, 2004-Who's coming?" That way people can go there and let us know they're coming.

The other thread has pretty much remained a livestock trade/sell thread so we can keep going with it.

Maybe also start an equipment trade/sell/WTB thread.

Fizz


I think that is the best way to go.

Fizz, can we get a web page to let people post if they are coming and enter their list of items and their want list?

If the members can post the information themselves, then this is easy. Then we could use it in the future for all meetings.

Possibly something like frags.org, but simple. Give each person a profile and login?

What do you think?

Fizz71
12/02/2003, 11:33 PM
At this point I don't think it's worth investing in a whole new domain name, but I can throw something up on my site. We could put it on ncpars too, but only if they are Microsoft based. If it's unix..then I can't code it. I've been Bill Gate's b*tch for about 10 years now so there's no going back for me. :)

I'll see if I can put something up by tommorrow. I'll steal some code from my other sites to get something up quick, then we can improve on it as we go.

Hello folks,

After an online chat with Bytor, I've learned of NCPARS.

I've also been chatting with Nixnutx who informed me of this planned swap meeting.

Both have been very friendly and generous.

I've talked with a couple of my buddies and we would like to join in the swap meet.

Please keep us informed by sending any information to me at kirksimon@comcast.net

Sincerely,

Kirk Simon

Try this out:

...and I know the images aren't working so please don't even try to upload any. I've never used ASPUpload before and I have it working on my machine, but I have to work on getting it to work at my host.

But in the mean time..we can still see if this works for us.

The code is pretty raw..barely tested..limited error checking. If you blow it up, let me know how (PM me) and I'll fix it. The colors are taken from another site..I can mess with that later too.

12/03/2003, 03:11 PM
I see Tagament's in there already. Let me know what you guys/gals think. For now I'm thinking about rewording it so that frags becomes frags/equipment since it's all the same, unless you folks really think it needs to be split.

I am trying to add pictures, but it says:

"An error occurred: Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment "

It's really great though! Mal3--I accepted your request. I think I'll request some of that gorgonian.

You just click ONE TIME (tag) on "add my name" and it adds you. Apparently you did it right, 'cause you requested a ByTor orange from me and I accepted it. It now shows 1 promised for you. Once you hit "add my name", it won't add you until the person offering the frag accepts your request. So hitting the button 8 times (Tag) just doesn't work (g). HTH

I am not sure you understand. I put in my frag list and next to requesting, the add my name link did not appear for other to select my frags. Why did the link not appear? Do I have to turn it on?

Requesting: {Add My Name}

nixnutz
12/03/2003, 09:58 PM
It won't appear for you because you're offering the frag. I can't see it on mine either, but it's on yours, Sanjay's, and Fizz's. You can only see it on everyone else's offerings. Does that make sense?? I hate message boards sometimes....LOL

Now go to "My Stuff" at the top of the page and click on it. Then scroll down to your encrusting gorgonian and hit the "accept" button for my request and Tag's request.

Rahn :D

12/03/2003, 10:08 PM
Is it possible to take your name off a request list. I am planning on coming but if we have snow or bad weather then i will not be able to? If I want to know about a certain frag I just contact the "seller" personally right? There is no way to do it on that website?

I see you have colt frags avialable but unmounted because you can't get them to attach. Try using fishing line and a needle. Works for me everytime, just thought I would help.

nixnutz
12/03/2003, 11:01 PM
Tried to do that and it wouldn't stay hooked. I think I've got an exceptionally slippery breed or something. :) I did the fishing line thingy and it held them the longest, but not permanantly. Thanx though.

Now that we're on page 4, here's Fizz's site he made up for the swap. When you enter your name and password, be sure to use your RC name so ppl can contact you.

There was a thread on the theil list about attaching colt frags by using a plastic fork with the middle tines broken off. You might try that.

Nice website but one suggestion. Everyone is either trading and/or selling so it would be nice if there was a price listed with the item. Even if just trading it portrays the perceived value of the item and eliminates some unnecessary correspondance between the traders. Food for thought.

Is this really true? The only time the number should reduce is when it is ACCEPTED by Sanjay..requesting shouldn't affect the numbers.

Ok...I'll think about that..I figure this thing will grow anyway.

Thanks for the reponses guys..I think it looks nice too..I didn't really test it with alot of valid data, so now I can see what it really looks like.

I'll give my host a day or two on the images. The code works fine on my local server. It's a real pain..I'm so used to having total control over the servers I work with.

There was a thread on the theil list about attaching colt frags by using a plastic fork with the middle tines broken off. You might try that.
I've had good luck just "pinching" the frag between two pieces of rubble. The frag usually attaches to both rocks, but it's simple to cut it loose.
good luck

Most of the reefers can attach them if you brought hem unattached but in some system they don't attach fast and it takes long time.

Mo-You got it. I re-arranged some live rock and found a piece attaching itself under a rock.

I'll just go un-attached if anyone wants some. Thanx for the suggestions guys.

Hey campers, I made a few changes to the site:
http://www.fizzhome.com/ncpars

Profile now includes "Real Name"..this will show up on certain screens to help you identify folks you're dealing with at the meeting...of course they have to provide it first. It's on the profile screen. First name or acutal nickname is fine.

Items now include "Cost"...But you don't have to use a single number...You can put in something like "$5 to $10" and we'll understand that it depends on the size of the frag if you have more than one.

I also put some automatic scrolling so if you "Add My Name" it would come right back to about where you left off. As well as some links on other pages to jump to certain regions.

I also fixed the problem of the wrong names appearing..I think I got them all.

And finally....IMAGE LINKING IS UP. Uploading was temporarily removed until my host gets off their butts, but if you upload your image to your ReefCentral photo gallery, you can paste the full URL in there and it should work. It actually accepts any URL since it opens it in a new window, so web pages would work too.

Enjoy.

What can I say but..Sh*t happens. It's also worth you folks with requests for more frags than you have to NOT reject the person. Leave them in the "request" section..that way if somebody fails to make it and cancels the request..you have a line. :) This also means it's worth it for folks to put in a request even if there are none left..for the same reason.

And in case you folks haven't figured it out, the names for requests and promises are always in the order they were requested or promised, so whoever's name is first should be next in line. Accept of course that little code I put in there to always move Fizz71 first. :) Just kidding.

And Sanjay...if you get a chance could you let us know what the cost is for your frags...I have nothing to trade so I'll need to buy and I want to make sure I have enough cash that day. I've also been told your frags are generally on the large side (not a bad thing of course) and your corals will be my first SPSs so if the cost is too high, I may just take one montipora.

Thanks everyone...keep using that site..it seems to be working well. I'll be adding a wish list and probably some more profile items like email (optional of course) and password change capablities.

http://www.fizzhome.com/ncpars

And to those folks that aren't coming..you can register on the site and mark yourself as NOT COMING (which is actually the default) just in case you're curious about what's out there.

I give up. I think I figured out why the uploads still aren't working...It appears they don't have the latest version that I used that allows me to rename files before I save them so the whole thing is being scrapped. If you want images in your listing..upload them to your RC account or someplace else. If you're really desparate you can contact me and I'll put them on my site for you.

And if you haven't already noticed..I added a button to the trades screen to sort by the date they were entered. Keep in mind it's sorted by the DATE and then the user. So if I add something at noon, and you check it out at 1pm...then Millisec adds one a 2pm...if you come back on the same day Millisec's will appear BELOW mine since I'm alphabetically before him. Bottom line....If you check more than once a day...make sure you scroll down a little bit.

Enjoy.

The site is bloody fantastic. PERIOD. It saves SOOO much time and effort. I can frag some things that are on people's wish lists, since I now know that there's an interest. More product. More frags. More happy campers. I really believe that it'll be a major factor in drawing a LOT of people to the swap itself.

I wanna make the trip to see him but have not gotten around to it yet. This summer I drove out to his place to visit and buy some corals (mostly rics/rhodactus). He seems like a nice guy and MAY be open to the idea of coming. Given that his supply doesn't even approach the demand for his stuff, I doubt that his prices would be very well received. I *DO* know that what gets his attention is the chance to get a zoo he doesn't have. For THAT, he'd make the trip on his knees. You may be the key to that, Mille.

Just a thought... and the Pitt crowd has a lot of his stuff.

I've had it for about 6 months. the thing has more than doubled in size and is irritating some mushrooms and polyps that I have in tank. It eats VERY well. It actually ate a cleaner shrimp. I know because it spit out the exoskeleton. i can post pictures later if someone is interested. I would just have to check with my wife (aka "The Boss") if that is what she wants to do.

You can't. It has to be posted somewhere on the web, like on RC. Then you just paste the url from RC (when the pic is screened) into the url box at the swap site.

The hardest part is getting the file size under 50K. Once you do that you just go to your gallery on RC and select "upload". Then browse to the spot on your hard drive that has the pic. A copy of the pic is uploaded to RC and the pic is then in your gallery. To get the pic file size small, reduce the resolution to 640X480 or smaller and save as a low res jpg.

Also a way to go. Then you're just posting the url to your isp. The downside to this, is that dialup users will take forever to view your pic's.

Hey guys...I posted earlier but I guess it didn't get saved. I'm sorry the site was down..I'm actually off work until Monday so I'm not on here as much.

Anyway...If you get a message that says "cannot find site" or something like that..there isn't a darn thing I can do about it. My hosting company cost me about $20 for the whole year, including the domain name. It's cheap, but the downside is that their uptime sucks. They've been pretty good lately, but still drop once in a while.

Now if you get an error on a page in the site..let me know so I can fix it, but if the whole site is down, my hands are tied. It's sad because I work for a company that does hosting..but even they couldn't compete with what I paid for the fizzhome site. Actually...our two main computer techs BOTH have sites on the same host as me..so that should tell you something...my company is NOT cheap.

It's been up the last two times I checked, so I guess they fixed whatever the problem was.

Watch it! I've had the special name TAG for years. Hands off! Given how big this swap is getting I'm, guessing Rahn can use all the delegates he can get. You can be the Southwestern big mouth, er, I mean liason.

Hi everyone.

Well, I guess I am going to jail or something by the RC police.

I put a post about our club swap in three club forums and a moderator named Larry said that it was SPAM and really came down on me for it.

He changed the posts to a can of spam. Check this out:

I agree, but here is what happened. I posted to three clubs. This is what I received. You can all read it for yourself and make your own opinions.

As I said, I am sorry if this causes any problems. I will take the blame.

Mal



First PM I receive was:

Spamming club forums

Posting an "invitation" to your local club's frag trade in every club forum within 200 miles of you is spam. Reef Central will not stand such activity.
Continued spamming of our members will result in loss of your posting priveliges.

Any questions can be directed back to me, or any site administrators.
Thank you for your cooperation,

Dear Larry,

I guess I do not understand why this is spam? I thought inviting reefers to a local reef event that they would enjoy is a good thing. I am not selling insurance or something for profit. I was not aware that it would be a problem. I thought that is the purpose of the BBS. Is there a rule about this that I should have seen? If so, I am not aware of it. I have seen other posts to reef type events on RC, even by RC.

Certainly, I did not mean any harm, but how else may you notify anyone. Certainly I do not receive any benefit, nor did anyone in our club. I did this on my own, and no one told me to do it.

If I am breaking some RC rule I am sorry, but I did not know any may exits. I would appreciate seeing that rule.

I do understand someone would have to enforce the rules too. However, I am not a terrist. You certainly are coming across very strong in your messsage. Its just a post. I did not blow up RC.

Thank you for the information.

Mal


His reply:

Re: Spamming club forums

Hi Mal,
Your announcement would be allowed in the announcement forum:
http://reefcentral.com/forums/forum...ne=&forumid=191
However, posting to all club forums within your area is considered spam by the board's owner, and administrators. You can post your announcement, but cannot post links to your announcement in all the club forums. Of course, the post is allowed in YOUR club forum.
Believe it or not, this policy exists to protect members from being innundated with unwanted advertisement, and to protect the BB from having people use it for free advertising. It's the sponsor's dollars that keep this resource free to all of us, and certain rules must be enforced to protect those that pay for the right to advertise here.
I will remove the "spam" pictures if you'd like.
Larry


I did send a reply.

I asked to be directed to the policy he referred to so I could read it. I suggested that Larry move the post to where he wanted them instead of putting SPAM cans on them.

I will post his reply if he replies.

I guess the next thing would be banning any and all discussion of fragging and swapping since SPONSORS sell frags and it wrongly robs them of business :rolleyes:

Mal & milli-That has got to be the biggest bunch of crap that I have ever seen! If it's spam by their standards, so be it, but to put a picture there is just obnoxious and rude. I suppose that the owners of the site want to be seen as obnoxious and rude if they choose such people to be their mods? Don't worry about it Mal. I don't see any problem with the posts and I find it hard to believe that anyone in either of the clubs had a problem with it.

If they want to cry about sponsors, what about the "contributing members" in our club? Don't they count as "sponsors"? Were their wishes considered when this mod decided the posts were SPAM? Screw him! And if he reads this post and decides I need to be banned for awhile, I'll just go over to RAG where people treat people right.

I just checked his userid (DgenR8) and it appears as if this guy might belong to the Long Island club. Now I wonder if he acted as an individual or if there was a complaint. I'd be willing to bet there was no complaint and he just decided he didn't like it. Sounds like he acted as judge and jury to me.

reefann-Welcome! You don't have to be a member to attend and you don't have to bring frags. You are welcome to purchase if you don't have frags to swap. Bottom line, if you can get a ride, you're welcome to attend. Hope to see ya there!

Enough!
My corrospondance with Mal was by PRIVATE MESSAGE, his posting it in public was IMO wrong. What's done is done though.
If any of you have a problem with me, how I Moderate on this board, or rules and regulations of this board take it up with the site administrators, or in the feedback and questions forum:

Should you wish to take it up with me by private message, I will keep it that way.
