In quite a few circles, it's almost a badge of honor to have been banned from "that other" big reef forum.
Hahaha, I don't know why. I am suprised
@Paul B made it as long as he did due to wrong-think. They are ban-happy.
And just to clarify. I did not end up here because I got banned there. The community was cold and somewhat uncaring there. Like I said, I was at "Aqualink" and the people were warm, friendly and genuine. When that site shut down, it was a real loss. I have found the same spirit here.
People here are real. People want to help you. They help by giving photos and info. There is only one correct way to grow coral, and the rest of us are just impostors attempting to emulate mother nature. This is what sets this forum apart when compared to other "national" forums. I am also a surfer/poster in my home town local group's forum.
I keep my postings similar between here and there, but I do give them a 1 week exclusive on all of my projects, even if they are dangerous and should not be attempted.
I am glad that I could show that ANYONE can drill glass. After that, my brain exploded because of all the possibilities. You guys help me pick up the pieces.
