I'll throw in my Kudo's to the mod's here as well. I can see why there isn't always consensus between members, vendors, mods and admin. We're all different and have our own needs and wants. And sometimes people get frustrated when it's perceived that those aren't being met.
But through all that I think the thoughts expressed have been fair and civilized and have struck a balance between differences.
Thanks to those on the forefront, and those in the background, for providing us this forum to share our passion (addiction) and to learn from one another.

Default Some people just don't get it.....

I think some people need to remember a few things...
I don't recall paying anything for the use of the forum.
I've benefitted greatly from using it, both in knowledge asked and left by people.
The ability to buy and sell both new(from venders) and used from other members.
I've met a lot of great people, willing to help out in a pinch. Whether it be feeding my fish and watching the tank while I was gone, or just sitting around BSing. A few of the people I've met through Canreef are now some of my closest friends.
If there's a need, and for me there has been on one or two occasions. Where a mod has had to step in and help and diffuse a situation, they're there quickly.
Some people have forgotten this, and seem to think that this forum is there own personal tool that should bend to their every wish.
I'd like everyone to think for one moment about this. What if this forum was to suddenly stop. Shutdown indefinitely. Then what? Where would you go to get the information and guidance that we've all used from this site at one time or another?
This forum, regardless of what others have said in the recent past, is possibly the best forum in Canada.
Here's what I think. If you think that things on this forum are that bad, move on.
And remember, this site doesn't run itself. The mods are the backbone of this forum and are needed.....

Well said. Well said.

I wouldn't know what to do with all of my spare time at work if Canreef were to suddenly dissapear... I would go nuts. Youtube can only provide me with so much entertainment!

If you have issues with how this site is moderated, you probably don't belong to many other online forums...

We are given quite a bit of leeway on this site.
