I see alot of enthusiasm for the hobby due to the number of threads being generated. On the opposite side of the coin, I also see an increase in duplicated questions. Some occurring directly beneath a similar thread, with a good answer, within the same forum. There are also alot of ...how should I phrase it...hmmm...BS threads that reveal the poster to be exceedingly bored. Here's an idea that will make things more productive to your participation in MFK and will add to your enjoyment/advancement within this hobby:

Perform a keyword search for all of the fish that you currently have and are intent on obtaining in the near future. The chances are good that you'll find a ton of info already exists that will help you in your care of a particular species. That info will also help you in formulating a concise question about an aspect of that species not already covered.

Thinking of building an aquarium, indoor pond, filter, refugium, etc? A keyword search using terms like 'plywood', 'fiberglass', 'liner', 'pond', 'wet dry', etc. will yield a library choking with information.

Just remember a fish you forgot about for a long time? Saw something new in the ole lfs? Got excited by something you saw on the Discovery Channel? Well, that keyword search works for those, too.

See what info is already on this site so you can form a more intelligent question or argument for that particular subject or species. The more informed the members of MFK are, the greater the overall contribution to this hobby that we enjoy.
 
I'm just posting to get access to the other areas of the site. . . don't mind me.

I agree their are a lot of duplicated threads, but there is only so much to talk about too.
 
I understand that you should research the site first, but it's also good to raise a topic again. Otherwise there wouldn't be many new threads.
 
I think posts stating that they are posting just to increase their number should result as a negative post :WHOA: and not only does that post not count, but you get one taken away. :spam: If your gonna post at least express an idea or opinion.
 
the keyword seaech is a handy tool, i spent hours reading before i ever posted a thing. although there is pressure to up your post count, especially for raffles.

I agree. But you need to say something interesting, informative, or funny.

Since I can't be the first two, I will go with:

You are correct. Again, posts like this is only for the lounge.
