where could this thread possibly go? I said my peace. I just grow tired of people being sensitive. get thicker skin, learn to laugh...and never take anything personal. over the years I read the usual "i come here for fun, i dont need to come here to be made fun of." so then have fun, read everything from a fun perspective. but this more often than not, isnt the case. people actually come here for advice.....and to receive a pat on the back.....
I have learned my advice is not taken well. so instead of whine and complain...i just dont give it. I occassionally do get PMs on seahorse stuff...but that has slown down the last couple years. so I now stick with my "snarky" comments and aquarium debates. if people have issues with me in that regards...this flrum has a cool feature called an ignore option. you can aply it to anyone you desire. you will not see their posts. but the masses would rather complain and whine to a moderator instead....after all...it gains them the attention they so desire.

Great...I agree with Darth a bit. We all have to remember this is the internet and that we inflict out own tone into what we are reading. Sometimes we give people a negative connotation and read everything that they post negatively. I know I tend to go the "safe route" and may have come across as harsh a few times. Perhaps, what I can do next time someone wants to push the envelope what I can do is offer some advice as to what they can do to make it work. I think the reason that I post the way I do is that I don't want people making the mistakes I made. They cost me a bit, but in the long run the knowledge I learned along the way was priceless. Maybe I should post a build thread, I used some questionable methods to get it going.

No, because there are some laws forbidding people under 13 from being on forums or something like that. Idk exactly. a mod told me.

Lol! Yup, that's right. To each his own! That's what I love about this hobby. It's up to the aquarist to make the best decision for their tanks and livestock. I choose an ATS, it's not for everyone... lol. I also like protein skimmers as well, and I plan to add one to my system when I get a larger sump. But, I am also keeping my scrubber. I'm not offended by any means!!! lol At the same time, I have never said "you have to do it. It's the only way. My way is right..." I've always encouraged people to do their own research and try new things.

She doesn't flaunt her age and is rarely on. Also, she doesn't venture into the aquarium.

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) is a United States federal law, located at 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506 (Pub.L. 105-277, 112 ="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(6, 69, 173); background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; " title="United States Statutes at Large">Stat. 2581-728, enacted October 21, 1998).
The act, effective April 21, 2000, applies to the online collection of personal information by persons or entities under U.S. jurisdiction from children under 13 years of age. It details what a website operator must include in a privacy policy, when and how to seek verifiable consent from a parent or guardian, and what responsibilities an operator has to protect children's privacy and safety online including restrictions on the marketing to those under 13. While children under 13 can legally give out personal information with their parents' permission, many websites altogether disallow underage children from using their services due to the amount of paperwork involved.
