Killi Board

Ok well I dont know if you've ever been to the AKA forum but you should go there. Its a pretty desolate place because its not as fast answer as TFF is but but it has a lot of members. If a killi board is made here and its half as popular as the betta forum and people there know about the killi forum(which they will if its made because of me and probably BigC) they will come here and bring more killi people that they know personally with them and probably use this more instead of the AKA because noone much posts there because of the unsurity that there will even be any responses which there will be here. Its the same if there were a bichir dedicated thing like the American Bichir Club(ABC haha) and a bichir forum was made and it caught wind on the ABC then I'm sure people would come check it out and make it more popular. If it isnt as popular as I think it will be and its made anyways cant it just be removed if there arent enough posts? I say make it and see how it goes because I can do advertising on AKA within the rules and make it a good forum but if I dont follow through it can be removed if its possible. But just think about it, if there are more members and more posts it can just help out the forum, It wont hurt to make the forum and see how it goes, you never know it could be a success like the betta forum is or it could have as many posts as the Sponsors forum like I said trying it wont hurt. And like I said in one of my earlier posts if mods are a problem as far as the killi forum goes then I would be happy to do it. Just puttin it out there. I have faith that the mods will make the right decision.
 
Ok think about it, If you were on a specialty site that sucks and someone says to you "come to TFF and you can post in an oddballs forum because there isnt really a specialty forum for :blank:" What would you say? I'll tell you what you'd say. You'd say "Why would I leave this specialty site to go to a site that doesnt even have a dedicated forum to these fish, what good would that do me?". But if someone came to you and said "Hey come to TFF theres a new dedicated forum for :Blank: and I'm thinking it'll probably get lots of posts per day and people check that forum all the time so you'll probably get at least one reply to your posts rather than :blank: forum. I'm thinking It's gonna take off so you should come check it out and maybe post a little bit, tell your friends." Then you'd say "Well what the heck, I could go there. It's probably better than this crappy forum." Then you'd come here and say, "This is better than that other forum, I need to get the word out about this place" And then there you go, Forum takes off a little. It happens in the real world too. Like this new mexican restaurant opened up around here but there was another established mexican restaurant kind of nearby so a few people went to the new one and liked it and told all their friends and everything, now that is probably one of the busiest mexican restaurants around just because of hearsay.
 
why would people who aren't active in their own forum be active in a similar forum here? Your logic doesn't really work. And if they want a reply, but stay where they won't get one simply because it's a "specialty" forum, that's pretty foolish.

creating a supply where there is no demand makes no sense. Bring people who will talk about killis, make them important enough to merit their own board, and i'm sure you'll get one, at the very least a sub forum, but this is premature.
 
You answered your own question..

''I'll tell you what you'd say. You'd say "Why would I leave this specialty site to go to a site that doesnt even have a dedicated forum to these fish, what good would that do me?"

A killi forum isn't going to happen, I think it's pretty obvious.
 
Heh, people agree with me :look: Loko, it would be much easier to undertand what you're saying if you simplified it slightly/added in a few more commas and full stops. I gave up reading after a few lines :lol:

You've already admitted that you go elsewhere for killie stuff anyway, I would assume that even if you were priveledged enough to get a section on here you wouldn't leave the specialist forum. In your own style, you wouldn't say 'I'm going to TFF becasue they've got a new killie subsection which is going to have everything I need so bye'.

And if you were on a speciality site that sucked, you'd find a better speciality site :lol: Not rocket science.

What narrow mindedness and lack of vision :rolleyes:
What a dull and boring place the world must be for people who foresee no growth and expansion. Never is a long time ;)
 
Well, i stand by what i said when i said there is no need for it, and about the point that killis breed differently to other oddballs, isnt there a pinned thread on mop spawning or something, and if you have a question what harm does it do to post a question in the oddballs section? its not like these killi questions are bombarding the oddball forum is it? a thread every 3 or 4 weeks sounds more realistic. What exactly is driving you to campaign for a killi section anyway? I think you need to realise that there really arent that many killi enthusiats compared to other things. there is a seperate betta section because otherwise the anabantoid section would be completely bombarded with 100 threads a week on bettas and 3 a week on gouramis etc, there are seperate catfish sub-forums because there is a large group of people who own plecos and a large group of people who own cories, both of which are very different catfish. The oddball section on the other hand, a couple of people own rays, a handful have bichirs, a few have gobies, a few have killis etc etc, the odd couple of people have oddballs here and there, and this applies to killis too, i see nothing that sets them apart from the rest popularity wise, and as for care wise, make a pin or two on them, theres already one on breeding them, maybe make one on basic care, (which probably isnt needed due to fish index anyway). So i dont see what makes you so eager to campaign for a new section for killis, what disadvantage is posting killi related threads in the oddball section causing you? Personally i think you need to stop backing this idea up for a minute and actually look at it realistically, because you seem to be struggling to come up with valid evidence that we need a new section, and about the fact that it would attract new members, well, maybe one, but we may also lose a couple because they look at this forum, find it hard to navigate, untidy, and confusing, anyway, we have hundreds of members. Whatever happens, it doesnt bother me too much, just it would be a waste of time, forum space, it would litter the forum, make it harder to navigate around blah blah blah. If it happens, well, i wont be visiting it much and it wont cause much of a problem to me, i'll just watch the number of threads stick and 7 for months on end.
 
bloo.. don't you have anything better to do..

you add nothing to the topic, you just make a pathetic attempt to take a shot at me..

find something else to do.

I thought Bloo's comment was very tasteful and appropriate considering the sour attitude many people have approached this situation with . In fact - I rather wish I could be as insightful . :sly:

Anyone who has read Bloo's past replies to posts on this forum will know that she wouldn't stoop so low as to have a cheap pop at someone. I think that you are taking this way too personal.
She probably has better things to do, but she chooses to come and go in this forum to put her views across as is her right as a member.
Everyone who uses this forum should be here for the benefit of the fishkeeping hobby, both to help others and to learn. Idle tittle tattle is of no use to anyone.
Lets get on and leave ego's out of it.
 
I really do not see why everyone has to make such a big deal about maybe having a killi forum. I expressed that I thought it would be nice to have a seperate forum and some of you try to stir up trouble and I'm sick of it. I realize that a forum is for discussion and all but what we're having on this thread is not healthy discussion its bashing and rude. I really have nothing more to add to this topic because if "so many people are against it" it seems like it would be a bother to people who really dont matter on this forum anyways. If William or another mod was to come say on this forum to stop replying on this thread because its not going to happen then I would probably stop replying but things like that coming from vancouver and geo mean nothing to me. Again I will say its in the mods hands and theres really nothing I or any of you bad mouthers can do about it right now.

:huh:
excuse me, but i dont think i said anything that offensive, just showing another perspective, it's all about reasons for and against, and you made this thread to gather opinions, and if you cant accept the opposing opinion then no wonder this thread is going no where.
:grr: why do i even bother.
