this community sucks

[AcroNem]

I'll start with saying welcome I'm sorry you didn't get the responses you wanted, I've had threads not get a ton of responses but it looks like you've had a bit of interaction with yours. Hopefully things change and you see the response you were looking for

 

[fish farmer]

I've tried all of these. Its like I just get ignored...

I looked at a few of your threads, you got good info, enough to where you can search for more if needed.

Threads get buried quickly without a bump.

About 5 hours ago I saw a thread I wanted to respond to, someone with a 29 gallon tank asking for aquascaping advice.

I didn't have the time to reply then. I tried figuring out where it was now, done seaches for it...nana...gone for good.

We try.

Its just weird how when I speak up about something I get replies, some in which are pleasant and others that are rude. Should I just post all further posts in reefsquad then?

We all suck so why are you worried about reefsquad or anyone else here? Find a place that you fit in and run it where the people don't suck or they aren't sarcastic

Those darn sarcastic replies are so annoying I can't stand them so frustrating

I'll officially say, welcome to R2R! I love movie quotes, which is why I posted that clip, but seriously, there's an enormous amount of knowledge here and a willingness to help, but as mentioned before, things move along quickly when thousands of members are posting, reacting, etc....... Patience is key and if you lack that quality, then you'll be very disappointed in this hobby. I think by now, you know how to post a question and get a response. Good luck and happy reefing!

Welcome! I am also new and will post sometime. In the interim, I"m reading and learning a lot of valuable information.

I wouldn’t worry too much. I see this forum for what it is at its core: Entertainment and useful information. If you post a thought-provoking thread or ask a question that likely affects many of us, you’ll get more responses. For example, if I ask how many people use sicce wave pumps in one thread and how many people use vortechs in another, obviously the latter will get FAR more traction because it involves a far more popular product. It’s not a question of being ignored, it’s just that some questions are extremely niche and simply don’t apply to a wide enough swath of people who’ve shared that experience and can comment on them.

:mad:


that was my thread. I was thinking I am experienced and knew what corals I should stock. After all, I share my go to corals all the time and get likes when I do.

But I walk out to the field, took off my armor and started the thread, exposing my petunia interior to posts like "your plan sucks" .


And the thread sank like a brick


such is life.


How ironic

I think everyone (including myself) should follow @revhtree example. It’s his forum, and he’s been kind in his responses on this thread. People make mistakes. I’m going to assume this thread title is a mistake and move on.

For what it’s worth, I felt the same way in the beginning, especially with my build thread, but I messaged @revhtree and asked if there was anything different I should do. He gave me some great suggestions and they worked. I would change the title to this thread.

There is way too much going on in the world to have everyone angry. My best friend’s dad is in the hospital, organs shutting down and he & his sister (who has stage 4 breast cancer can’t get in to see him. Pete will die alone and they can’t say goodbye to there dad...

That’s really sad. I’m a nurse and have been seeing some really heartbreaking things. My mother got sick this week, she is currently in isolation waiting on test results for covid she has systemic lupus and had had cancer 6 times now so I really worry about her. I hope everything in this world takes a turn for the better soon

102 replies since February! I have a build forum going that has had one reply (that wasn’t my own) and I’m not sweating it. I feel as though I’m talking to myself when I post.

I received a really nice welcome in the meet and greet when I started. Other than that, I’ve gotten 1 reply. It’s hit or miss on most forums based on a lot of factors!

Hang in there! Glad to have you here!

Build Thread - My new 65g SPS dominant tank build!

Hello all! I started a new tank build yesterday on a 65 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump. I’ll update as I go, but here are the pictures so far. So fricken excited!!

I’m so sad to hear about your mom! I’ll throw some thoughts and prayers out for her for sure! It’s rough all over right now.

Thank you for being a nurse! Everyone in the medical field is a hero! I employ a team of doctors and nurses and you are all on the front lines! Hats off to you!

My 2 cents ..... I’ve had plenty of threads that passed into oblivion with nary a whimper .... sometimes because I asked something that nobody had an answer for, other times I guess because nobody but me thought it was interesting and then sometimes because I posted in the wrong forum. Lots of different forums on many different topics, ask the mods to move your SPS thread and it’ll get more eyeballs. Also, don’t create redundant threads ... it confuses people .... well it confuses me LOL. No need for three separate 120 stocking threads ... maybe the mods can combine them for you. Also, as you get familiar with this place, send somebody who appears to know something about a topic a PM if you’re not getting useful insights otherwise. Lastly, ‘help people help you’ by providing as much context as you can for your question. Post doesn’t have to be a novel, but some background to the question can help focus answers.

This is true.. I have 2 threads that never got responded too, but it happens, prob my fault for various reasons. i think a lot of people will see posts that require the OP to research and learn, the information is already out there for the taking a simple search will come up with a 200 thread post about it. I honestly tend to not answer these questions, i feel research is vital to this hobby not to mention the confidence you get from someone not just giving you the answer. I feel like taking in all the information and rooting through all of it and making what " you" think is the best decision for your tank or whatever it is your doing. i think this is a lot of what makes us better at our chosen hobbies and or work.

Thank you I truly appreciate it. She’s an amazing woman and truly wish she’d catch a break. She’s one tough cookie

The medical world is taking a beating for sure, but hopefully we all come out of this shortly, stronger, and with a lesson.
