Come on guys, post anything u want that is tropheus related, otherwise this thread will die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrdog Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Judging on the activity levels of Fronnies, I don't think we should expect this invasion anytime soon . Jamie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Come on guys, post anything u want that is tropheus related, otherwise this thread will die ← No don't or this post will be locked. This is the photo forum and there for is for posting of photo's and the discussion of those photo's. If you would like to chat about Tropheus try using the Cichlid Discussion Forum. If the Cichlid Discussion Forum gets flooded with tropheus discussion and looks to be staying that way you may find we end up with a Tropheus specific forum. Mick I have moved you discussion with the problem with your kachesehere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a bit harsh Ben I cant see how the thread is doing any harm. I think a bit a flexability here would not be out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoliroMan Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Aline....sounds like a great idea! I could help with your experiments and hopefully we can break down the mysteries of bloat so that more people won't be afraid to keep tropheus! Ben...i was wondering when u would shut this thread down! I try to keep to the topic but unfortunately get a bit sidetracked. Please give us a tropheus specific forum and move all post to this forum. I think we have shown clearly that we do need somewhere for the tropheus gang to hang out and discuss everything tropheus. Here's a vote to u guys out there: 1. Should we start a new thread on everything tropheus in the general discussion. 2. Convince Ben to give us a subforum in the discussion section. 3. Leaves things as is and post pics only of tropheus on this thread. I was hoping to reach 500 post but i fear my dreams will be left unfulfilled!

Ben Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 You took it the wrong way Nigel. (I will add some smilies to my post now. It was meant in a light hearted way. Trying to give people a hint thats all. I am as nuts about tropheus as the rest of the people here but the only way we will get a Tropheus Specific Forum is to show we will use it. Hint Hint.

Nigel Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 No problem Ben I think these guys have proven that there would be enough interest to give them a subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrdog Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 This is the photo forum and there for is for posting of photo's and the discussion of those photo's. Hey Ben, if that's the case mate why weren't we given a warning like this about 20 pages ago . I have had heaps of fun on this thread, the most fun I've had on this forum. If it must be locked, then so be it, since this is the photography forum. I just think that this thread isn't doing any harm to anyone, everything said on here is in good spirits. That being said I understand that a person in authority has to make decisions that others may not like. Also, I'm not sure if it's fair if we get a sub-forum and others do not. That's why this thread is so cool, it's like our own little sub-forum. Anyway, whatever happens, happens I guess. If this thread is locked, well done Dave, it's been awesome , and to all the other regulars, it's been heaps of fun . No harsh feelings towards you either Ben . I guess that's about it, Jamie. Sorry Ben, just read your other posts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Guys, We Mods and Admin’s don't want to lock the post at all but it must stay on topic. The topic is "Pictures of Tropheus" and "Their tanks" and "The discussion of those pics". If you would like to discuss things relating to Tropheus but not to a picture that was posted then its time to make a post in the Cichlid Discussion Forums. If there are lots of discussions in the Cichlid Discussion Forums about Tropheus then it would be obvious that a Sub Forum is required and hay presto everyone is happy. But one huge post that takes ages for people on dial up (like me after hours) to load is keeping people away not drawing them in. Take a hint people.

lee427 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 sorry my fault for the just tryin to have a bit of fun .a subforum would be good for all the tropheus heads . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 Or you could just move the hole post to the Cichild Discussion forum that would solve all the problems not that I see any problems with leaving it where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 No problem Ben I think these guys have proven that there would be enough interest to give them a subforum. ← That’s the problem Nigel they haven't. We have 1 huge post and that’s it. I need lots and lots of Tropheus related posts about all different aspects of keeping Tropheus to justify it to the other Admins. It’s the old case of help me help you, well not you but you know what I mean. I think I need to hit some people with a hammer to get it through as a few people have been told this by PM, email or in chat and haven't gotten the message yet. Maybe now they will that I have spelt it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoliroMan Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Thank u all who have contributed to this amazing thread! I have had many hours of enjoyment out of it and i hope u have as well. I appreciate that the mods have not shut it down yet. It is great to find other people with the same interests as yourself and that u r not the only crazy tropheus fanatic out there!! I think we should officially end this thread and leave it stored somewhere in the archives. I give anyone permission to use any of my pics if they want to. Come on calling all tropheus fanatics out there, post like crazy in the cichlid discussion, anything u like about tropheus and let us aim to get ourselves a subforum of our own! I think we will hit 500 posts after all. Thanks Ben!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Or you could just move the hole post to the Cichild Discussion forum that would solve all the problems not that I see any problems with leaving it where it is. ← There isn't a problem with it that’s why it has been allowed to continue. But it's unfair for there to be one rule for one and another for the rest, just because I like the thread and don't want it split up I have to be fair. Imagine if we just created a Tropheus sub forum. Someone would then want a Frontosa forum and a feather fin forum and a cyp form and then one for blues and one for yellows etc etc etc etc etc. Mod and Admin nightmare. I think we have enough already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoliroMan Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Hey Ben, Why can't we have a subforum for each species of cichlid? U could nominate someone to mod for each subforum like Aline for the tropheus forum!!! Lee427 for the frontosa forum!!! etc, etc. I know the US cichlid-forum are able to do it, why can't we? Anyway, we should only be posting pics here remember! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I think we will hit 500 posts after all. Thanks Ben!!!! ← Well maybe but I will have to split the last few posts out soon to get it back on topic so someone will have to post some pics. I am not going to lock the thread as long as it stays on topic. We can all post pics here till it reaches 1000 posts for all I care as long as each and every post is about a pic then its sweet.

Nigel Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 That sounds fair to me Ben with every photo you can comment on the fact that there is no Tropheus subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
