Hi everyone,
Well, I'm not sure where to start, and this kinda feels awkward, so please bear with me.
Anyway, I heard through the grapevine, about a week ago, that I'd had a 'falling out' with Reef Sanctuary, and I just wanted to come back and hopefully correct the misconception...
I'll admit that I was mighty sore that my tank thread was photo-less, and my reply in that thread could've probably been more clearly worded, but when I said "This is my last post", I really meant in that thread... I didn't mean 'at Reef Sanctuary'. So for that, I apologize.
I mainly haven't been around because of school... I'm a senior in college this year, and with 17 units last semester, I didn't have much time to get online at all... October through December was just a big blur. :columbo:
So, it's not that I didn't want to be here... circumstances pretty much dicatated that for me.
I'm sure you all have heard by now that RAG has once again changed hands, and I've been co-administrating the site with Patrick. He handles the business side of things, and I've been put in charge of the community.
Recently, my job has been to sort the threads in the General Discussion forum into more specific fora, and wading through all those old threads has given me some perspective on Reef Sanctuary's community that I didn't have before. Up until now I had never been privy to what went on behind-the-scenes at RAG, which caused the breakup, since I didn't participate at RAG, and didn't meet most of you until you had already started this site.
I mainly want you all to know that even though you lost RAG back then, your ideology lives on through me.
The time I've spent here at Reef Sanctuary has been the best I've had in my brief reefkeeping experience, and I can only hope that we'll someday have the same type of community again at RAG that you all have here. The support you gave me as I was building my tank this past year was phenomenal, and I haven't forgotten how much that support meant to me, and made my project turn out better.
I mainly just wanted to ask if it's okay if I still come around and participate sometimes? I'm not sure, with the current situation, if you want me around or not... but I really miss talking to you all.
Thanks for hearing me out.
David.
