HaHaHa, I use to be a technician for AOL and I would surf the net while talking to various customers with "concerns" about their AOL software. Especially keep up with this BBS' postings.

Well they use to tell us that all our computers were monitered via software installed on them. I doubt they were highly monitered like mentioned cause I never got a complaint nor any other employee's I know of. I do know we could not email out of the building or out of our own servers. Basically private email you know. I am glad you like our BBS...

They've blocked out ebay, napster, and any site you can stream music from. They say it slows down our network too much. Cheap government office...

I do really like the site though. I'm relatively new to oscars, so i've learned a lot just by reading other people's posts.

Well I think the gov is just covering its butt with all the mp3 stuff going on. They rather be safe then sorry.

Everyone starts out new, this place as well as magazines and various online sites is where I have learned a lot of information from. You learn a lot from other peoples experiences as well. I think information BBS like this one really helps out a lot of people. I am more then willing to share my knowledge with anyone who wants to hear it. As well as everyone else on this BBS I am sure.

I completely agree. You know, I hadn't even thought of magazines. What are some good ones?

Tropical Aquarium, oh man I am drawing a blank here sorry. Just go to Barnes and Nobble or Hastings or a Boarders book store and look for the magazines there. A good research and informative newsletter as well as webpage would be of course the American Cichlid Association www.cichlid.org

My favorite is AQUARIUM FISH Magazine.
They have been doing a four part series on different types of cichlids, plus lots of other good info and photos! Image
