Yes not enough traffic. When someone has a question, they would like it answered. Post it here and you might get a response, post it on a different forum and you'll get many different answers and opinions. When something is wrong with your tank you dont have days to possibly get an answer.

Well, to be honest I don't think you can have a problem with your tank that hasn't been answered here already You'd be hard pressed to not find a problem discussed here. And to furtherly honest (is that a word?), the board has more traffic now than it's ever had. Is it Reefcentral? No. But that's like comparing the PNE to Disneyland. We're a small board in a small country. RC is huge with an international following. But if you can't find something here, using a Google search with RC limitations will certainly give you an answer, so never any need to wait days.

There are many questions you wont find answered on here about my tank or others for that mater. As soon as its somewhat a technical question there's only few guys on here that might be able to answer it. Every other answer seems to be "do a water change" Many people do use google and rc because they know their odds of getting the right answer are better there, but what would be the point of this forum if you just kept telling people to look there? This is a great local forum but it would be nice if it had more traffic. You gotta call it fow what its is. |

Just now I approved a dozen new accounts, as I do most days lately. So lots of new people, and less (participating) old members. This is also cyclic and as the new ones get up to speed, they start answering, and the old ones have for sale posts Really, having been here for 13 years now, I find this year the same as year 2, which was the same as year 7. But we get lots of new people (167 so far since Jan 1). We just need people to chat more.

Yes, and for the most part, the community here is pretty good. But things like "what salt should I use", what do I do about ich", etc, tend to get a bit old and easily searched on. And hard ware specific is tough, there is so much out there, that the chance someone has what you have AND has/had the same issue are few and far between.

I've been here for awhile and certainly don't consider myself an expert, just experienced. I don't bother answering questions when people could easily use the search function. I get that people are surfing from their phone and its hard to access etc., but some days there are 2 or 3 threads pertaining to the very same thing. It gets old.

Yeah like the quarantine threads lately. Holy crap there are a ton! I get tired of answering them all but I try to because I think it is very important
Iceman, I didn't answer your test kit question because I haven't used Red Sea test kits and I see a question about RowaPhos now that I didn't notice before - can't get them all. Same here. No letters after my name, so I'm certainly not an expert either. Last edited by Myka; 02-17-2014 at 11:46 PM. |
