Hi, I'm fairly new to posting on this forum, but have been reading for easily over a year. The one thing I don't understand is the "Cichlid Discussion" category. The sticky on the thread says the Cichlid Discussion has opened for a trial run.... in 2006. Thats 7 years ago! I'm pretty sure the "trial" run is long over, and I think we can take some things learned during this "trial" run and improve The category is a great idea since there's a vast array of cichlids and enthusiasts, but the world of African and South/Central American cichlids is completely different, to the point where I believe it would be a HUGE benefit for all us cichlid freaks if there were a simple divider or sub-categories for the two.
In the sticky, it was said that people should use terms in their thread that will distinguish between the two genres, but one look at the category and you can see that does not happen. Threads titled "ID This" and "Look at My Fish!!!" do no help organizing the thread, yet it seems the majority of the titles are vague and I spend the majority of my title sifting through topics that don't apply to my genre instead of enjoying the topics that do.
Just an idea! Organization is the key to anything, and I believe this idea will not only add much needed organization, but make the two individual communities stronger as a whole!
Thanks!
