First off thanks to the folks who ran this site for these years. I know that I have learned so much, and in learning have come to enjoy this hobby so much more. It is the Community here at AA that has given me so much.

I am glad to hear that the forum will be professionally managed going forward. Content quality will always be up to us the members. But when it comes to quality on the technical side, I would rather leave that to an expert.

oh, and bah to salt. Take take up a real challenge and start a planted tank. <eg>

Oh I see Andy being in a tug of war between us FW folks and the SW folks. Gotta try both sides Andy. We'll all pitch in and help!

I agree the past is the past, let's move on. While change can be frightening and different, generally it is a good thing. Let's look forward to the future and see what we can do from here.

Kevin and Aaron, Thank you for all the hard work you put into the site. I fully understand lives getting fuller and responsibilities changing. You guys made AA friendly, fun, and informative. This site was there for me when I needed it and I have met 17 members in person in both Canada and the US. Even though I haven't been around lately, AA is never far from my mind. God Bless.

Andy, welcome to AA; it is a true gem.

I'll echo those sentiments Meghan. It was always the demeanor of the forum that made it such a fun place. Aaron and Kevin are to be commended for that.

Good Luck to you Andy!!

I will be looking forward to this, vBulletin is an awesome software. I really dislike phpBB but I can't complain too much when it is free.

Look at that Andy, your first banning as forum administrator.

Welcome, Andy.

Just wanted to say thank you to reefrunner and fishfreak. Without you guys my tanks would have been sunk years ago. While I have not always maintained a tank as a member here I have always appreciated the honest and polite feedback that I have received on this forum. You two started a great website forum and should be proud. Now its a news guys turn and hats off to him. BTW Black Hills most of the guys that I know who own/operate LFS and whom I consider my local experts do not have private tanks either. Lets give the new guys a shot and hopefully AA will be as busy as it was when I first joined years ago! Congrats and welcome!!!

wow
edited my post....but didn't tell me it was edited?

I sort of understand why, but maybe the author (me) should be told his post was edited....and why. This is the first time anywhere I ever had something I posted changed by the admin and was not told it was being done. Sort of like taking my words and changing them to make them yours.

btw...you edited it, so edit it all the way. Look at the subject..........
