I just had to post this. I made the mistake of cheating on this forum by going to another and registering. What a mistake! I won't name it, but within minutes I was seeing rude, dynasty replies all over. The first post I looked at on this other forum had someone attacking another user who was asking a simple question, practically telling him to get out of the hobby.
So the grass isn't greener on the other side. My only point is to say how incredibly helpful and awesome every single member on R2R had been. I've said it before, but it deserves its own thread. Without this forum, I'd be lost!
As a newb, I've read and reread almost every post. I've watched you-tube videos. I've asked LFS and others for help. When a newb asks a question, it's not because we don't know necessarily- I mean, I've read answers to the question I'm asking. As you know, everyone experiences reefing in a different way, and it helps to get new opinions. Every time a topic is repeated, different people answer and it gives more experience to everyone else. So yes, we do read old posts and ask the same questions again- different experienced reefers will often answer. And you ALL on this forum answer again and again, respectfully, with kindness and concern.
So my point is this- R2R is amazing. Every single member has been kind, patient, and really helped me enjoy the process. Thank you all for being amazing. I will ALWAYS recommend this forum to anyone because the level of love you have for the hobby is not just for your own gains, it's to help people like me enjoy it just as much.
Thank you, thank you!
