Does anybody know if JamesC (www.theplantedtank.co.uk) is still in the hobby?
After 2 years in UKAPS I still discover interesting things. The information stored here is huge and TBH, I am subscribed to other forums in my country, and I can tell you that the information in this forum is excellent (both experience share and scientific level).While I agree that many queries are in their 100th or 1000th repetition, for the newcomer to the hobby, this is often not apparent
That's something I am learning now... take a deep breath, keep calm and don't post!!! Just unsubscribeI just retract from a post where my views are obviously not shared, unfollow it
it takes courage to post photos/journals/excited ramblings of your new venture.......
maybe that has to do 1) with people not using search engines 2) people having the same problems every time, it's hard not to get jaded by thesecomes across as quite elitist
Never thought this was so important, I didn't introduce myself when I joined UKAPS... Well, from on now I'll say welcome, not really too much effort if it helpsOne thing that stands out to me is the lack of a simple hello when people introduce themselves. This would go a long way to making new members feel welcome. Especially if this comes from long standing members whose many posts these people may have already read.

I know what you mean. Some folks take our hobby too seriouslyHe had become very frustrated with some of the "bullying" on the forum, and chose to withdraw.

These still lurk here in the shadows of Mordor every so often I look at the Intro forum and place a like on every new post, and if the thread is on 0 post I will always post the first if necessary.We have those??
