Think about what you are losing when you lose access(???) to Reef Central. You lose the advice(could be good, could crash your tank, could cause you to buy into the latest crazy acanthastrea fad and spend your whole paycheck) from people that may or may not be knowledgable. Doesn't seem like a major issue.....and as soon as things calm down......he will be back. Or he can take a lesson from another of our members and just log in as JennaJameson ;-)

Leave the mods alone. They get testy and have to flex their e-muscle from time to time. It will pass.....just ask JennaJameson.

Being the pragmatist that I am, I realize it is much better to give someone in the club a call, or meet out for a beer or two, or buy a couple cases and sit at my house and discuss in person the issues I or others are having. With or without Reef Central our tiny little grassroots club will survive.

I heard a quote once about arguing on the internet being like running a removed
That being said.....it is Friday....let's go drink some beer.

THE SFDG IS BACK(as long as this post does not get me banned).

So wrong but so true. It is great to have the SFDG back.

Please don't use quotations like that in the future. Thank you.

Hollback.......did you hear something? A point being made perhaps?

BrianD......you are not too far away from here......you should come down to one of our meetings or to the frag swap. Are you a member of CIMA?

Thanks for the invite.

I think you are just saying that so one of you can pick me off at closer range.

That is silly. I abhor violence and am quite offended that you would insinuate that I or one of my compatriots would think of doing such a thing.

I would edit your post and place "REMOVED" over the picture but I can't.....so I will just lock this thread or remove it......wait.....I can't do that either ;-)

I just would like to commend the mods for at least keeping a line of communication open.

I was recently banned from a local sports forum for making ONE marijuana joke. There was no questions asked, just booted. I enjoyed the site but have not gone back since.

With 100,000 members they don't really have to care if people don't like it, because there is such a large user base, but it's a positive thing that they do.

pyranha, please accept my apologies. I should have known you were a peaceful person based on your cuddly avatar. May I pet your fish?

Apology accepted BrianD! You can pet my fish if you like....but keep your hands off my monkey. ;-)

Good...Brian has demoted himself from Staff to Mod.
It's good that he knows his place around here. Now go fetch me a beer.
