I'm also a member of that massively massive forum that rhymes with "RC". A lot of folks, a lot of posts, a lot of knowledge, a lot of...
well, just a lot. I go over there for a hot minute when it gets really slow here.
I've noticed that some of the newer members here (newer than me) have taken their post projects (~19000 gal tank, for instance) over there so they can have more/quicker responses. I hope they maintain dual activity.
I personally like it much better here. Over there, its like standing in Times Square trying to get attention from passers by. Here is is much more comfortable, I've gotten to know some of you a bit, and trust the careful answers I get here. Over there, answers are more of a "drive by" affair.
I do, however, make hand gestures towards the screen when I refresh 20 mins later and there are still no more new posts.

I remember back in the day when you could post a thread, refresh, and have to go to page two or sometimes three to find it there was so much activity.
I do understand why the selling is no longer allowed but do rather miss it.
I will say it caused a fair bit of drama with people getting ripped off and alot of mud slinging because of misunderstandings and possible misrepresentation of things listed. Not all the time, and many people went above and beyond to make each sale or trade a good one, but when it was ugly, it was reaaaaallllyyyy ugly.

true henry, selling is the only thing that goes on there. but like what can we do. like stated above people will go crazy especially in the nano section now its like a ghost swf section :(im not saying it suks to be here but like i do wish i can get more response not only on my threads but on others.
like example members ask a questions say they need help asap yet log back on 3 days later...:/ what is that?!

Well for me 2 things happened. First the upgrade. I am glad the admins are not sitting on their butts doing nothing but really I liked it better a couple of versions ago. Why mess with it. Second the summer and all the goings on combined with a little computer frustration. I for one am going to be posting more. Maybe some of it will be worth reading. Got a couple of projects in mind. My second batch of homemade rock turned to crap so theres something to talk about. As far as contest. I know everyone likes to show off the tanks and skills with the cameras but maybe something that most could play in would be better. Random drawings for active members? Also I agree with the selling section. I mean we are all going to do what we want anyway. If you want used then your gonna buy used. Maybe SWF could get a SMALL commission off of sales. Just some thoughts.

I noticed it was getting slow a long time ago, maybe a few months after Poseidon took a break then it just fell apart. I was trying to hang in there but nothing was drawing me back so I slowed down on the posts A LOT as I am sure you have noticed but I check in to see what is happening (though it's nothing to my knowledge). Nothing going on in the taco tank right now either, just the usual stuff. Any who.... Least we are taking a head count right here and now so that's good. One update, got another electric blue and a tiny green ric haha.

I have my biggest tank build going on.... but what's the point if I can't post pictures (or I should say it's too much trouble to post pictures).

Well I am just glad that there are some of the old reefers still on here because I trust, respect and Value their advice. Yes it is slow on here but some of Us Noobs know that we have people with knowledge and experience that we can turn to for help. I am so glad that I have found people out there that are willing to take the time to help, that maybe get frustrated with some of the same questions, but they still take the time to answer them. There was one forum that I posted on before I found SWF my post was there for 2 days before anyone even commented on it. I asked why no one commented on it and one person posted the reply "We don't have time for some one who is Green, so go search the net to find the answer." That has never happened here on SWF. Thank you to all the people on here that are willing to take the time to Help us Noobs out. In my Book you are #1 and are much appreciated for all the help and advice that you give!!!
