Ok, its back open..... Lets follow the rules

[wooglin]

Be sure to use the forum for club activities, describing our tanks, talking about that hot new coral we saw at the LFS (your not included Robert or Sean), etc. Also if CWA or anyone else posts stirring up trouble just ignore any posts. I feel like this could have been avoided had we just turned the other cheek.

Thanks,
Alan

[kevlouie]

excellent, as long as we know the rules we can play by them

hmm...I just read a thread (tank is full..) and I think I know what happened now. seems a little silly.

[wooglin]

These are the two areas where we had problems. Basically no name calling, and no promotion of commericial ventures by the owner or an individual that stands to gain from promotion of said commercial venture. In other words Sean and Robert cant post about stock, but can otherwise participate. Anyone not affiliated with Emerald Bay is welcome to talk about new corals they have seen at any store, purchased, thinking about purchasing, etc.

Which rules did I break?

[wooglin]

"harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, profane, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable material of any kind"

Many took part in this type of discussion, and should have turned the other cheek. Lets consider the issue closed, its best for all involved.

Since your not a member of the Reef Club and have expressed that you do not want to ever join, I am not sure why you would want to post here.

Would you like to join? You are more than welcome to. We would love to have your expertise added to the group. I have heard that you are very knowledgeable about Reefkeeping.

[reewik]

Got it.

[iReef]

Glad the forum wasn't permanently shut down. I had been hoping for a long time someone would start a club and I just found out about this one on Sat. when Robert told me about it.

What do you have to do to join the reef club?

Are there any female reefers in this club?

[wooglin]

Just show up right now. We will come up with a formal membership process, nominal dues for functions, etc soon. Try to make it to the meeting this Sat. Many folks bring their family so there are Women present. None that I am aware of are the primary Reefer, but this is an odd hobby, in that most couples are both involved. Its the only hobby I have been involved with where it is like that. I also fool with RC aircraft and it is rare to find a couple involved with that.

Very well put wooglin. All three times.

Hey Wooglin, where do you fly at? I fly planes and helicopters in Columbia. I agree about not many women involved in R/C flying. My wife comes with me some and likes to watch but doesn't have any desire to fly. There are a few other wives the come and read or something while there husbands fly. I only know of one woman who comes to some of our flyins that flies. She is from Henderson and can fly better than 99% of the men.

Sylvia, until I noticed you were a woman I thought you were going to meet women. It is wierd how you picture people when you haven't met them.

I am glad that the forum is back up. Was starting to have withdrawal.

[wooglin]

I fly at the park at Edwin Warner, and the small park in my neighboorhood. I fly electric exclusively. Small planes that weigh 16 ounces or less. I have two right now, one weighs about 10 ounces, the other about 8. They run on rechargeable Li-Poly batteries for about 30 minutes per charge.

[rcmike]

Cool! I have tried electrics a couple of times but never really got into it. I haven't tried any of those LiPo batteries though. I have heard they are awsome. I had an Eco electric heli once but I sold it. It was very smooth and quiet but fragile. I crashed it once and it was almost destroyed. Here is my pride and joy. It has a 46cc Poulan chainsaw engine.

Sounds like a fun hobby. there is a park by me that has an airstip and everything. I am in Lavergne And have no idea what the name of the park is.

[fishdoc11]

My dad used to fly planes and judge contests at Edwin Warner back in the 70's. Good memories. Mike, do yall fly at a guys private field. I did some work for a guy ( I think his name is jack ) that works for Parent Co. and he had his own field in Columbia. Real nice guy.

Nope, I fly at a field that is leased from Solutia. It has a 500ft. runway and is a very nice place to fly. Here is the club www.columbiarc.com
