Concerning this topic, the Moderating Team has come to a conclusion.
Some of these topics hold valuable information, though difficult to find in long multiple page topics involving many members. Some have more organizational related information than actual fish information. They are in many ways conglomerations of personal journals, all squeezed into one topic.
There is only one owner or boss here, which is William, the site owner. We are all his guests; this includes the Moderating Team and myself.
The topics will remain closed, Photograph And Journal subsections will be created in the appropriate sections, and these closed topics will be moved to those subsections; Livebearers, Oscar, and Snake Head clubs. The remainder of the club topics will stay where they are, but will have subsections created for journals as needed.
This is pending removal of member numbers, self-appointed titles, and links concerning these topics from signatures. The Moderating Team has been very lenient recently with signatures, many of these are not within the rules, but were allowed to remain. Please review the signature rules here; [URL="http

This is being done on a trial basis, as with nearly anything the Moderating Team does there is consideration for adjustment.
This in effect offers personal journal areas for members, which is much more consistent with the organizational layout of this forum. It allows for conveyance of some rather involved aquatic information in a more organized manner. It also eliminates any confusion as to who actually owns and runs this site. Organizational consistency is a must when it involves a forum of this size, and is something the Moderating Team is consistently striving for. The Moderating Team also strives for member enjoyment and involvement; we feel this agreement offers the best of both.
