Need opinions on new forum

[MonoSebaelover]

What would you guys think if we were to add a puffer forum. I'm running it by the other mods but want to know what you guys would think of it. I know there is a lot of confusion as to where to post questions bout puffs, and by creating a puff forum that would end confusion. If you look at all the topics in bw 90% of the them are puff related. Was just an idea, let me know what you all think.

Yay! The Puffer people in one spot? I could live with that.

(Of course, I'd know where to hound all of you, too...so consider that...and the fact that I would be nice and not literally hound you.)

Then where would the brackish non-puffer questions go? Ten percent of curent traffic does not seem enough to keep a forum alive.

 

[ChilDawg]

RTR,
I respectfully disagree for two reasons.

(a) The Propagation forum is still around, with all of two threads.

(b) The need to distinguish between BW and FW is probably important enough to keep open a Brackish forum, even if the Puffer People traffic is removed.

 

[ChilDawg]

Okay...9 threads, 24 replies...oops.

While I can understand RTR's concern for the "non-puffer" brackish threads, I do think a "puffer" thread may be a good idea. I think sometimes there can be a bit of confusion for some when they have FW puffer questions, ask them in the FW forum and not receive the amount of different feedback they are hoping for...... whereas coming to the "brackish" forum, they seem to get more....since this is where a lot of the "puffer" people hang..... leaves the forum a bit confusing, for example, asking questions about Dwarves in the brackish forum, one might think they need to stress that they should NOT be in a brackish environment..... when the author may already know it, but just didn't get what they needed in FW....... ok, did I do well enough to confuse this all??

 

[ChilDawg]

It's perfect, Dangerdoll...a point has been made by your post, and hopefully it will be used to get the new forum!

 

[Dangerdoll]

Thanks Chil, my fingers are crossed for ya to get it rolling.

 

[ChilDawg]

Thanks, but it's MSL's project...I still have little say on this board, except on the grassroots level.

If demands there why not?you'll still be asked questions by non-puffer keepers as brackish fishkeeping is a fairly undocumented area.How about an online book on brackish fish and their care compiled from the aquarists shared tips and knowhow?
