You Guys Rock!

[Ludwig Venter]

I've been so pleased with the advice & all that I get on this forum, that I never even considered to try another.... but the one thing that bugs me is when I see any "free to a good home" or "guaranteed BN Breeding pair for sale" etc. etc. etc.... & I know that I cannot participate in these deals, cause being in S.A., it's just not practical.......

So yesterday, I decided to register on a local forum, and (as a newby), I politely said hello to everyone and intro'd myself.... I entered the site again this morning, & since my last posting (yesterday at about 10am), NO new posts were made on the entire forum and I was the 7th person online (guests included) FOR THE DAY!!!!

I decided that maybe I was just unfortunate & drew a bummer, so I joined yet another LOCAL forum and likewise.... (even posted a few photos) to date, I've not even had one view, and the last posting, was made sometimes last Thursday!!!!

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!

My plane landed in South Africa, you have a nice airport in J'osi! Anyhow, I think this may be the largest and most active aquarium forum.

I def dont think this is the largest... there is a marine forum that dwarfs this, but that place is huge......

Most local forums are like that Ludwig, even here in the US.... There are far less hobbyiests locally obv then when you include the whole world, so there are gonna be fewer posts, threads, and overall participation for the most part.... hence why bigger, "everybody welcome" sites are great!

When I went to Zambia I got mum to take me to the LFS, they weren't too bad, they had alot of zebras, some guppies, and pretty good supplies.
