No, everyone is mostly not helping or trying to make things better. Some are whining, some are dictating, some are just being difficult. When the crap gets this deep, I'm thinking we're just gonna turn around, or do what we wanted to begin with.

Thanks for all the help to those trying to help, but the staff will decide from here. Have a great day..

Catherine, that would be your queue

In the same breath I'm not saying it's easy, and I'm not saying you should all just quit because obviously we need you as much as you need us but I'm just saying we all make the beds we sleep in.
Exactly. And if given the option, I choose to make a bed that is comfortable for me to sleep in, not one made of nails.

My point being is that there is no incentive to make something harder than it needs to be. It's not about a financial incentive, it's about doing something that reaps a reward. I see little reward in repeated hashing over the same points again and again. Thus, until membership asks for me to be removed ... or until the day I decide to leave the board ... you have to put up with me as a moderator here. And my position on this is it this issue needlessly polarizes the membership, and there is little to be gained from it all. Luckily, I am but one voice on the staff here so if you feel this unreasonable, feel free to garner support from any of the other staff members who you feel might be sympathetic to your cause.

Canreef does have buy/sell forums which does kinda put you in the ebay category > buyer and seller meeting ground. And wherever that happens problems arise.. again for whatever reason Canreef choose to have those types of forums and this all kinda goes with the territory.
Respectfully, I disagree with this as well. The buy/sell/trade function is intended as a sideline because we all end up with equipment weno longer use. Ebay is as close to a free-for-all, if it's sellable, you likely can buy it on ebay. And good for them, I'm glad they're there, I use them all the time. But ebay is about business and each and every transaction on ebay results in revenue to the enterprise. Canreef is in no such category nor does it wish to be.

Being "Canreef" and not ebay or reefcentral does not mean there is nothing that can be learned from these other successful sites, which is why they have been mentioned, not to bash Canreef but to make it better and like this thread has established no one is ever 100% including Canreef and the sucky part is it takes work to get things great which is what we are ALL doing in this thread... working to make Canreef better
Frankly I think Canreef is doing just fine being Canreef. And who's to say those other sites can't learn something from us? If it wasn't already a somewhat successful model then the bandwidth costs would likely be far less than what they are. So while suggestions for improvement are always welcomed, recognize that not all of them are workable and thus not all will always be adopted.

Tony, you mirror everyone else's thoughts on the staff. Thanks again for your input.
