What the hell happened

[seminolecpa]

Norm,

He won't be able to read those threads. That board is open to "current BAR members" only.

 

[prattreef]

I feel so, so marginalized j/k. If you get a chance just PM me some info on MR. BTW, does BAR do anything formally with public schools etc.? I'm working on a project at my son's elementary school setting up 3 small systems. We have several other members interested in this kind of thing too. I going to be opening a MR forum specifically for discussing "philanthropic reefing projects."

 

[seminolecpa]

Well right now the only defininition of "current BAR member" as far as the forums go mean that you pay your $20 dues. Did I mention that non members don't have PM access either.

That mean treasurer guy made me do it. We have to pay for webhosting etc somehow.

Begin influx of paypal payments.

I don't think we have anything like that currently, but there are a few teachers here who have setup tanks in their classrooms and some of the members have donated.

That's pretty much where it stands now with us too, but I would like to create a space for people to be able to discuss these projects-- teachers share lesson plans, support each other, share strategies etc.

I don't want to totally hijack this thread, but here is a link to what I did last year. This year we added a third system.

[quote author=LordHelmet link=topic=3036.msg33033#msg33033 date=1202928844]if you notice it is the same 20 or so people posting and trading. i think we should heavily focus on this at a meeting. and let people know that any coral is a good coral for DBTC. just so we can get some more common stuff for people who don't meet the criteria for say some monti setosa, or undata, or TPM. my 2 cents

DBTC shouldn't be about trading

Definately any coral is good for DBTC. I post that periodically to remind people.

The X-Treme stuff only started last November after DBTC had been quiet for a while.

Wasn't the True Leng Sy the first coral posted in DBTC? That's available to anyone that's good with montis, which are pretty easy.

There are lots of non-demanding corals in DBTC

 

[LordHelmet]

sorry i didn't mean trading. i meant sharing. but yes i agrea with what you said.

insert soapbox emoticon!

[size=10pt][size=10pt]SLOW DOWN WITH THE DBTC THREADS OR I'LL LOSE MY JOB!!!!!!!![/size][/size]

Ok not really but DANG people slow down, I can't keep up.

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Seriously!

We'll have to lock the DBTC forum during regular business hours, haha

 

[Elite]

Hey keep it going.. I need something to do at work ;D

 

[Mr. Ugly]

;D ;D ;D

Not for long, if you keep that up!

Ummm hello all those DBTC entries are sure to do much worse for our total bandwidth usage than allowing non-members to post!!

 

[Raddogz]

Bandwidth usage is no longer an issue as it has been in the past.

Bring it on folks !!!

 

[LordHelmet]

i need to stop neglecting my kids.

and whens this chat thing gonna work. today would be the day to use it.

 

[tuberider]

In the helping others out vain, I have a few local troubled kids I work with. I've setup tanks and showed them how to get started in the hobby. They seem to like it more than smoking Meth so that's a good thing. Every little bit helps with these little guys in recovery, I know first hand.

 

[Gomer]

You know...with the mass DBTC(X) yesterday and today, we should see another second gen mass spree in a few months+

 

[Ibn]

One would hope so. It's either that or the giant is going back to sleep.
