Pike Forum.

[andyourblueblood]

i think there should be a pike section. anyone else agree? i could moderate.

Off the top of my head, without researching topics and posts, a pike subforum is way behind oscars, angels, discus, dwarf species such as apistos & rams, and probably several others. If you have ever seen a forum with loads of sub forums it is difficult to navigate, and just looks plain trashy as well. If the owner of this site wanted trashy it would have gone overboard with sub forums long ago. The owner wants an easy to navigate forum, that means no trash.

Moderators are chosen by the owner of this site, William, who is also the administrator. It is not a spur of the moment decision, it is a process where input from the moderating team is taken into account. Previous post history as far as aquatics knowledge, maturity, level headedness, and a long term track record of assisting this forum also adds in. If any of this is missing, or weak, the odds of being a moderator is a real long shot.

so your saying to split up the new world forum would be trashy? i think it would be easier to navigate. when you have a forum for one specific thing people get better answers. if you had a forum for oscars angels and so forth you wouldnt get as many mixed answers. a far as the moding part...i doubt there are many people on here who could teach me something about crenicichla. not saying there isnt more for me to learn, just saying i try to keep my self on top of the game when it comes to pikes. im sorry not for arguments sake, but i totally disagree. i love this site but there is always room for improvment. i think it would make answers more accessble due to the focused attention on that one forum. to have all new world cichlids in one place is so vague. it must be hard to moderate something so vast. there is no end to it. just dropping an opinion. i mean what the heck right...its all in good fun.

and cheers to you william for a great site!!

also i dont mean to be a jerk by any means but i could show you another forum that is like how i said. i know everyones response is going to be "well then go on that forum." and i do. i just believe that the people there are more concerned with being better than the next person.

although you may be right on the part of having more precise answers, i feel that the sub forums will be less inactive and therefore appeal less to people. i like this site because there are 2 or 3 threads created in each forum, and also the fact that people reply back.

if there are so few posts then we are to blame for not expanding. as users it is our responsibility to not only use the forum but get other people to use it too.

just for example of a site with subforums

whoops just read the rules url deleted! sorry sorry sorry!

im not sure if i can post that but i did it for reference. it can be deleted if i wasnt suppose to, and i apologize in advance.

as for the breeding info, its on its way.
