Here to say "Hi"
 
Just joined, although I've been reading up on this board almost since it started.

My name is Albert and I keep 3 reef tanks (72 gal softy tank - 50 gal DSB/refugium, 12 gallon random invert tank and a 25 gal LPS tank). Well, 4 tanks if you count the Razzle Dazzle thing on my desk (harlequin shrimp and sexy shrimp)

Also do a lot of Starcraft on a competitive level, Diablo 2 and Badminton.

Oh, and me and some friends make websites.

Welcome. What made you decide to stop lurking?

albert_dao 06-10-2004 10:27 PM

I dunno, reading all the bad rep about LFS stores, I kinda had to say something. Haha.

Delphinus 06-10-2004 10:35 PM

Oh please, not this again.. Everytime the issue dies, someone just has to bring it back. It's been weeks since there've been anything like that!!!!

Seriously, I hate those threads. There's absolutely no way to resolve them.

In the end, I hope that we just have some civil dialogue. Recognizing that people can be coming from different places when they speak.

Ultimately though, as a LFS employee, and razzing aside, know that you are welcome here to post your views and your experiences. :cool:

albert_dao 06-10-2004 10:41 PM

You've got a good point.

Just my nature to insert opinions (I frequent a lot of debate boards in my spare time...)

How big is this sect of CanReef anyway?

Delphinus 06-10-2004 10:43 PM

To be honest, I'm not sure. When we've had get-togethers (it's not all that often, though), there have been some 30-40 people I think at some of the bigger ones.

Debate is good. It's just that the LFS one has been cained before. Let's debate something less volatile, like religion. :razz:

Competitive Starcraft eh? Is that pro gaming league still running? I remember they used to play Quake II and Starcraft in that.

albert_dao 06-10-2004 10:47 PM

That's a lot of people!

Hah, wierd, I've always maintained it that Kari was on dope or something when he brought up the reef meets.

Well, I really have only one thing to say about religion: Organized religion is the only way that a nation will ever achieve unity.

But yeah, as far as competitive leagues go, there are quite a few. WCG, WGT (the one I play in), regional leagues etc.

How about global unity?

albert_dao 06-12-2004 06:24 AM

If everyone was of one religion, we'd have that too.

Cap'n 06-13-2004 04:02 PM

So who gets to pick which one we use?

AJ_77 06-13-2004 04:05 PM

Rev Moon, apparently...

:confused:

I have to disagree with this.I think we would still see fighting between different sects.Cath/Prod,Suni/Shia.

albert_dao 06-14-2004 06:31 AM

What are you talking about? There are no such sects under MY religion -- Albertisium

Cap'n 06-14-2004 07:27 AM

Ha! When I rule the world...

Indeed he was. In fact, he's also my long lost brother.
