Have any of you visited? Scott was nice enough to show me a couple of threads there a week or so ago and now I can't help going back and looking. It is like a freakin' car crash. What is up with some of these people? I remember reading a request a while back in the Feedback forum that one of them wanted something better than "Reefer" as his title because he has over a 1000 posts and spends all has time there. It was one of the dans; dan hippo or connor or something. There are maybe ten or twenty of them. I mean that friggin' idiot SaltyDog (from the GARF wars) is still there. My doctor says I shouldn't dwell on stuff like that but I want to round them up (all of them, not just the dans) and smack their little smart ass faces right off their goddamn heads. Thanks for letting me vent.

Troy,
I know what you mean.. They are a different bunch. I used to dwell there and post quite frequently but they got a bit out there for me. I can't imagine how much server space they take up with some of their threads. Now those are bandwidth hogs.. LOL! We won't go into the God complexes. . [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] hee hee. sorry that slipped out.. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] |

Just a tad harsh. That is what the sump is for.
Some of the guys like SPC are invaluable to the main board. Also they are Americans and think different then we do on many subject. Did you realize that you are 242 from squat on this board? [ 21 January 2002: Message edited by: naesco ]</p> |

naesco,

I see everyone is "reef keeper". Dr. Ron is reef keeper, steve is reef keeper, EmilyB is reef keeper, even "Kirtis" is reef keeper??????? Can we have more levels of the "reef keeper"s. eg. 1/2 squat reef keeper, full squat reef keeper, senior reef keeper, squat+ reef keepers.........etc. I think you get the ideas.
Or, how about awards to those of us that dedicated our time most to this board versus the RC? I spent almost 100% of my reef chatting time here and just want to be recognized as the most brand loyaled, nerdy reefer of the reef keeping communities. Just wanted to point out that this is the kind of poster that you have to sift through when looking for valuable advice at reefs.org . Sorry if I offended you Naesco but on the other hand I'm glad something finally brought you out to the local board. Hopefully we'll get to see you at one of the meetings. This weekend I should have some information regarding a starting point for certifying the local retail industry. Your help would be much appreciated. Did you realize that you are 242 from squat on this board? Gimme a break. Do you realize how little I care. Reefs.org was a good board once upon a time, now it is an exceptional resource outside the boards. Most of the intelligent posters are long gone. |

No offense taken. I was merely pointing out that there are some really good reefers that hang out at the sump with the others.
The squat part was attempted humour. I will be happy to help. Please email me and we can talk. Thank you. [ 22 January 2002: Message edited by: naesco ]</p> |

Sorry if I seemed a little snappy with the squat thing. I'm just disapointed with reefs.org as a bulletin board. I was kidding around in my initial post, not that I'm not irritated by it, just that I probably wouldn't round 'em all up and slap 'em. Anyway, when I get the information, I'll let you know.

I couldnt possibly agree more Troy,
I visited and was active on that board daily up until the "Dump" had started. I too believe that Reefs needs a Danerectomy! (no offence Dan150 [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] ) I thought it was a cool idea when introduced.......now i think the last time i seen it there was a thread regarding what a certain lady asking advise as to what to wear to a dance or something,i think it slipped of the page at about 8 pages of absolute Sh!t..... Now youll be hard pressed to enter the Chat,Sump or discussion due to just way too many members with swollen heads. Its kinda funny actually,the same losers who always had something to flame about have migrated to the sump....and now can flame away with very little moderation,then they talk about having lots of posts....ROTFLMAO! with about a teaspoon worth of valid information. It seems a year or two ago i could speak openly,seek advice and get well educated replies and opinions from most...even occasionally from leaders in the aquarium hobby. Whered they all go? hmmm.... As this is,i enjoy off topic conversations....just lets me know theres another side to yall!(dont worry,i wont tell anyone [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img] ) In the Lounge,Sump or whatever where the line is hard to define with moderation,it seems many on that board cannot grasp that often its the user who should moderate himself. Naesco,Welcome [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] ! I believe i remember you from a year ago or so on that board(pre-sump era),and its good to see you here. Do you still believe that the board as a whole still enjoyes the combined knowledge base aswell as the general atmosphere it used to hold? Marc. [ 23 January 2002: Message edited by: Fudge ]</p> |

I have never participated in the sump except for one or two very short attempts at houmour.
I don't like the politics. Unfortuneately the board itself has lost a number of the guys you could count of for advice. I am really active on the industry forum of reefs.org trying to make a difference. |

.... :D :D :D
Just found this thread.... funny! Lighten up guys! As a sump frequent dweller, I understand how it must look sometimes, but I laugh at most of it, myself included! :D Mitch |
the sump at reefs.org
I go to the sump to laugh. I never take it for anything more than some bored reefers who want to be sociable but can’t meet everyone (since we are from everywhere in the world)
I also enjoy the industry forum as I am learning a lot more about the industry as a whole, and what our hobby is doing to the natural reefs in the world. I am a big leerker and hardly post, but I do read a lot. This is my main forum and I am here everyday checking out what people are doing, especially DIY for lighting.

Whats with this {squat} stuff? I think I'm missing out on something here http://jabot2000.homestead.com/files...ons/suspic.gif

I quote here from another forum but it goes some thing like this.
1. The 1st rule about the {squat} club is don’t ask what the {squat} club is. 2. The 2nd rule – see rule #1 On another forum, they tried to reward reefers who offered their assistance and help to other reefers, as you gained 1,000 post you became a {squat} member and 2,000 you get double {squat} {squat}. As I said it was meant to reward people who tried to help others, and you would receive a $100.00 gift certificate from a vendor or something. Not really sure what you get, Mitch can you help here? The problem was that many people starting just entering in “ ^ “ or silly stuff like that and it would count as a post, while others spent their days lurking in the sump and just posting there. How do I know this you say, well I am a lurker in the sump, it is really funny sometimes, but I do majority, but not all of my posting in the main forum. I use Canreef as my 1st place to visit everyday but sometimes to get other opinions, not that I don’t value everyone’s here, I post on other boards. Titus – what about some sort of an award for posters here? We have some members who have been very helpful to many reefers and I for one would like to see them get some sort of reward. Is there anything that I can help you on this matter? |
the sump at reefs.org
Basically, it's a standing joke. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Way back when, someone asked what they get when they've got about 1000 posts to their name. The reply was...you get {squat}...aka nothing. Now it's something to joke about, and we thought up some stuff about squat club, squat gift certificates, (I posted that I got a new Lexus... :D ) The funny thing about it is that some newbies actually believe that you get a gift certificate. So, if some poor soul posts a serious question about {squat}, the rest of us have some fun at their expense. It may sound cruel, but it pays to lurk only in the sump to learn that everybody is joking pretty much all the time, and if new people can put up with the jokes, and laugh at themselves once in a while, we always welcome new, sarcastic humour.
This thread was my squat post, for example. Mitch [img]smile.gif[/img] |

That is hysterical!!!! It started just as Mitch said. One of us was goofing around and asked what special thing happens at 1000 posts. Someone else replied that you get squat. So cool that {squat} is turning into an urban legend. I'm disappointed that none of you touched on She-Goat. lol [ 23 March 2002, 22:50: Message edited by: tangirl ] |

Thanks for letting me vent. Hello everyone! Troy, it appears that you don't like the sump to much :D , not to mention all of reefs.org. At my age I try not to get this angry anymore but I can understand someone not liking a particular BB and not visiting it. Thats what I do, I just don't log on to a BB if I don't like it. I would definately follow your Doctors advice though, its not doing your health any good to get this worked up over a bunch of people trying to have some fun and interact with one another. Steve |

let's hope a bunch of new yahoo's don't ruin a good board.
