Do reef central doesnt like reef2reef or something?

[Bacon505]

I tried to link my build in reef central because i got tired of their image posting method. So i try to link my build thread that i have here and it censored out the reef2reef part. I wonder if there was some beef going on between the two site

I would assume they block out most websites, but I do know that a lot of people here on R2R will make fun of those on RC because some of them are pretty rude and generally those that are members of both will consider this forum a bit friendlier. Often when you see somebody say something rude to a newbie here someone will respond with "Take that to reef central" lol

I like reef central too but their like i stated, too difficult to post a pic there

You see nobody is censoring the "reef central" part here....lol

Reef Central doesn't even like Reef Central. They hate everyone.

RC has restricted the use of certain links to business and certain links to other forums for a numbers of years. It's nothing new and no beef exist, water off a ducks back. Happy to have your build thread here, nice system to say the least.

It's understandable from a business point of view, since imagine how much extra work it would create on their end to have mods checking ALL topics to delete potential spammers linking to other sites, etc.
The point of them hosting a forum is to keep traffic inbound. The more outbound movement (also potential member loss) = less they can make off sponsors, etc

Of course it would be in their best nature to improve services such as uploading photos, but that is for the end user to decide =)

What he said. RC hasn't allowed links to non sponsor websites as far back as I can remember.

The "beef" is only on one side. As already stated, RC does not allow links to outside forums/sites.

In my experience at RC, there exists a roaming gang, best described as a gang of the most aggressive & ugly, poor excuses for hobbiests that could exist. They go hunting, looking for non - inclusive participants to attack over the most minor of issues, even using strawman arguments if necessary. You cannot reason with them. I'm no shrinking violet but ceased participating there for a long time, only recently returning, rarely & exclusively to one stickey thread only.

R2R is a fantastic forum, & I hope it remains that way.

Wow! You described exactly how i felt about them. I don't participate in RC much. I recently answered a post to help a newbie. Someone almost chewed my head off. I immediately removed the RC bookmark shortcut from my toolbar.

I was blocked for years. Recently found that I was able to start back up. Quite honestly found nothing to make me go back. It is,a different forum. When it first started up it was like reef2 reef. But it got ugly quickly.

Thats why i made a post there recently, to try helping another participant.
There are good participants there, no doubt, but it only takes a few rotting onions to ruin a bowl of fresh fruit

I feel like RC is so out dated. I got so frustrated trying to add image to my post there that i have to go throught photobucket for the link and stuff.

After being on this site, why would you want to go to RC? This is hands down the best site on the net!

RC = Bitter angry old men with power tripping mods

I left that site in the rear-view mirror once I discovered this positive awesome forum.

 

[chefjpaul]

I posted a link from the R2R fish disease forum on my local site, a part of RC, and the whole post got deleted.
I was just trying to get the op & readers correct info to help their fish, as wrong info was being given.

I thought this was so wrong, mainly for the sake of the animals, it becomes more egos at some point.

It's kind of like going back to an old neighborhood after you have moved.
When I was on it 10+ years ago it was a great site. Initially. But it devolved in to a less friendly site over time.
