CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

20 days and 12 votes

you have to remember, this subject isnt really that popular. many people that know dont give 2 shits about their fish. i take the time with my O's and other fish because i care about them like the rest of you do. trust me, its better to have a few votes that count than have a few hundred that dont. who do you want making to desicions for this site? the ones who care or the ones who dont? anyways, this is a great site and i hope its here to stay because its been a big help to me and ive only been on it for a short time.

[quote]trust me, its better to have a few votes that count than have a few hundred that dont. who do you want making to desicions for this site? the ones who care or the ones who dont?[/quote] good point - but in order to make the site interesting to more people,we need input - the input from active and/or interested members is great! but it's hard to dedicate time and space to other catagoies,chats ,etc.. when only a few of the 1,934 members vote

the highest vote so far is 6 people for an option,so less then 1% of the members want /support it



but on a better note we're up to 14 votes now

Contests are always nice.

vote added for webhead1,who is haveing problems logging in (hopefully fixed now) . Who asked what the predatory forum would include?

I see it as a forum for any large fish kept in aquariums that are not cichlids. - Piranhas, Peac0ck bass,Snakeheads, Datanoids , Arowanas, Arapaimas maybe some of the larger catfish (redtails-shovelnose etc), and similar types - but all that doesn't fit in the poll option easily

Just an update on some of the poll options:

[quote]Predator catagory? - piranhas,snakeheads,lungfish etc.. votes 8 [/quote] seems to be in the lead so it may be possiable


[quote]African cichlid catagory? votes 2 [/quote] with only 2 votes and the past history,seems like they'd be left as part of the "cichlids" forum so more people would participate

[quote]more active chat room? votes 3 [/quote] as of the start of the poll I have yet to see anyone actively use the chat room.

For those of you that use the portal the chat box on the left side of the screen means you are in chat - but just sitting there idol,if your not useing it.


[quote]contests? only 1 vote [/quote]
but something may be possiable





[quote]more active staff? (moderators and admins) 2 [/quote]
This is being fixed now


Plants also have one vote anyone else interested in plants speak up

yea, I like that idea too! I never really liked catch and release too much(drooling over cut-throat trout from yellow-stone), and if I don't eat them would be cool to stick them in my aquarium
If you haven't tasted cut-throat trout you really have to, I think it's much tastier than the others. oh anyway back to topic, we're over the 2,000 member mark

I'll leave the poll open until later tonite (few more hours) for anyone wanting to add a last minute vote.

more active chat room?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

took second place but so far I've only seen 2 member's active in it. It's kind of hard for admins or mods (or members even) to decide on some times and commit to those times when noone uses it

and remember
[b]For those of you that use the portal the chat box on the left side of the screen means you are in chat - but just sitting there idol,if your not useing it. [/b] For those of you who visit the chat room and try to chat - the people with j or J at the beginning of their user name are NOT ignoreing you or being rude - this is what happenes when people ignore the chat box ,which is why it was brought up before

This area has been given one last chance to see if there's enough interest - if so we'll add it,if not the idea gets tossed
