arent there 5 species of Dats?
Indo
Widebar
Thinbar
New Guinea
SIlver
And i only suggested making a Datnoid forum cuz they can reach MONSTER proportions, eat with monster vengeance, and they are one of the top 5 fish species discussed on this site. I kno that there arent hundreds of kinds of dats, but i feel since so many people have them, and have questions about them, have pictures of them, they should have their own catagory. I understand Guppy's point of view, but i feel that was a real wiseass answer.. if so many people wanted a catagory for fish named bob, why hasnt anybody asked... I was just trying to make the forums easier and more logical in my idea. If people want the catagory, whats so bad with setting one up? seemed like a good idea to me..

Actuality, the peacock bass is not a member of the bass family at all. It is just one of the some 1,600 plus members of cichlids family.( as you probbably know)
Ok so put the Bass angles and Discus into cichlids where dose it stop the problem is the snakehead forum is on the brink of being dissolved through using it as a leaver for every dispute about sub forums so think long and hard before you start these things because it will be gone as quick as it appeared. I am now going to step back and keep my mouth shut on this.
Feel real bad to the bone, threatening people by taking away a fish forum... you are awesome!!! I dont see why expansion is bad... get with it. If you want a website with the best reputation and the best knowledge and the best everything, u have to raise the bar and expand.. just my .02 personally i thought you guys would agree.stotty;613105; said:so think long and hard before you start these things because it will be gone as quick as it appeared.

The attitude certainly wont help matters.
I can promise that it will be discussed and considered.
It wont expand anything either. It will actually take away on average.
If you consider all of the posts in "other monster fish" that are about dats, take those and put them in another forum. That leaves "other monster fish" less busy with an additional forum, which decreases the average activity (per forum/sub forum) overall.
If your argument is that most of the posts in "other monster fish" is about dats, then why is it necessary.......can't they easily be found there if that makes up the majority of threads?
Maybe the addition of the snakehead forum was a good thing in the fact that it's easier to sort through.

YEa your right, a thought for the books, "since there are so many dat posts in the Monster fish forum, you might as well just look in the monster fish forum" LEt me guess, ivy league schooling??? I say if you want to just use the " other monster fish forum" to find a particular species, why not erase all the species of fish and only keep the one, "other monster fish " forum, wouldnt that maximize your web site threads and posts, or whatever horse manure u mentioned to me... Wouldnt it be easier and more efficient to only look in one thread? MAn o man who ever thought a simple Datnoid Catagory would be circumstance for so much criticism and egotistical rambling... Add the Catagory, People love there Dats just as much as other people love there Aro's and they are just as popular... Im POSITIVE 100% POSITIVE that the Datnoid forum will get many more hits then your crappy angelfish forum. And if not, i will make the hits in the datnoid forum myself to spite the situation...ADD IT!
Your attitude right now will not help your argument. Personally I don't think they need their own subforum. Now as to the angelfish section, you are saying that they should not have their own subforum, as they are one of the top selling fish in the US? I'd say that 90% of all fish keepers have at one point had an angel of some kind. And as to monster attitude, when they are breeding they will kill just about anything, and size, well you obviously haven't seen a full grown TRUE altum angel.
