all in all if you feel that strongly dont log on lifes to short..if the mods and owners dont care why should we.. be happy and happy reefing to you..im gonna kiss some babies..while drooling over fish and corals.)

disclaimer: this is a post of my opinions and mine alone and in no way am i paid to do so. nor do my opinions reflect any of that of canreef staff. if you wish to hate me for my opinions please do so in silence or pm i will not respond to an argument.

There is still a lot of reef talk on here but I personally enjoy the lounge section for the non reef posts were you get to know other members on a more personal level.

Hehe, I don't mind the useless banter as long as it is in the Lounge. I choose not to read Tank Journals that have a bunch of chatter in them. I've seen some sites where commenting in Tank Journals is only allowed by the author which I think is absolutely brilliant. Separate comment threads are made for the journals. That's my biggest pet peeve about the useless banter, is when it is gumming up an otherwise interesting journal thread.

On the other hand, I rarely post on RC...I don't care for those forums at all. Too many people and too political. I find either threads get lost in the heap and get no answers or they get 50,000 replies and it takes 3 hours to sift through 300+ pages to find the info you're after in between all the clutter.

Aquattro 05-27-2012 03:21 PM
Seriously??? I recall reading madreefer's posts on Brett's "alternate site". He hated it here because we didn't allow certain things. He was never posting here again. Now you're posting here again, complaining we allow too much??

You are welcome, no, encouraged, to go to RC instead. Hopefully they enjoy you as much as we have. See ya later.

Wasn't the point of having this "Random Thought Thread" to keep our random thoughts confined, more or less, to this single thread. I think it is serving its purpose well. Same with the Lounge.

sorry Greg, but due to recent complaints, we're going to have to ban the use of the words "months", "golfing" and the number "2". Please try to banter with more useful words/numbers.

Ouch dude this is a social website about reefing and marine what kind of expectations were you expecting its a site for all ages. a more serious approach where you don't have to read posts would prob be a book....never too late for books;)

I've made friends, learned a lot, got great deals and have helped many others......I fuss all that is not what the sites about eh , personally this site is ran a lot better then others....I noo don't post on RC....rarely anyways....canreef is very friendly and even Though we have fun( God forbid) we teach and learn.

If this site was as bad as you say has I been running so long,

Coralgurl 05-27-2012 03:58 PM
Hey, I'm a newb...with a years experience, doesn't that count for something?? I know a lot less than a lot of peeps here but I have learned a thing or two on this site. I like the people here and appreciate the time given to answering my questions. I also like how this site allows me to get to know people that otherwise I likely wouldn't speak to. I've been to RC and find there's so much going on and so many people that the personal touch is not there. Here's hoping this site remains as it is!

My random thought ...what makes a madreefer mad? Is he angry mad? Or is he crazy mad? How did the madness happen? How can we turn the madreefer into a gladreefer? Maybe we can't, which might make some sadreefers.


I'm going to go for a long run now and contemplate the madness...

Hmmmm..."Mad as a hatter" is a colloquial phrase used in conversation to refer to a crazy person. In 18th and 19th century England mercury was used in the production of felt, which was used in the manufacturing of hats common of the time. People who worked in these hat factories were exposed daily to trace amounts of the metal, which accumulated within their bodies over time, causing some workers to develop dementia caused by mercury poisoning. Thus the phrase "Mad as a Hatter" became popular as a way to refer to someone who was perceived as insane.

So maybe, to become a mad reefer, it could be prolonged exposed to calcium?

I thought they went mad from the habit of holding the hat pins in their mouths, the pins at the time containing mercury. Yours sounds better though..

After a longish run, I still have no answer to the dilemma, I guess some people are just, well, mad!

In the interest of good taste and respect to our younger more sensitive readers I'm stepping away from any reply. Have a pleasant evening. Besides that I don't want to get onto Santa's naughty list....... Long live the great pumpkin!

People should check out all the pic's I posted in my 34g cube tank journal thread. Click on link in signature to see :mrgreen:

fishoholic 05-28-2012 02:02 AM
Don't you hate it when you forget something.....in this case forgetting worked out for me. Doug forgot his new Coral magazine on nano gobies at my (soon to be our) house. hehehehe now I get to take my time and read it :biggrin:

fishoholic 05-28-2012 02:07 AM
FYI I forgot how much crab molts look like the actual crab. Doug's pom pom crab molted yesterday and I thought he died :eek: hoped it was possibly a molt but thought he died. Was very very relieved to see both pom pom crabs alive and well in the tank today.

That's odd, I'm pretty sure I remember there being a LOUNGE over at RC, and if memory serves it's a lot more random than this place... *shrugs shoulders*

Dr_Hicks 05-28-2012 08:37 PM
People say to expect the unexpected. But doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected expected? If this is true then whos to say whats expected or unexpected?
