Houston Cichlid Club

Sunny, I'm sensing a little bitterness in your words. I wasn't knocking the box at all, I use it all the time to search old threads and I recommend it all the time on the Cichlid Club page. But the fact of the matter is, most beginners don't want to sign up for the box, nor do they find it easy to use. The facebook page is simple. Nearly everyone is on Facebook anyway, so now they can post their questions and pictures while they're already on

Lol, don't read too much into what I say then.

Especially after youve been in the sauce a lil bit huh

[SunnyHouTX]

Regardless. It's the interwebz, don't take anything too seriously.

[SunnyHouTX]

HFB has taught me a lot, that being said... Sunny is dumb.

This is true lol

LOL, I enjoy the FB pages. They are just not the format I prefer when giving advice and I can get a bit long on my posts. I try and enjoy it for what it is and direct folks to more searchable formats for more specific questions that require complicated and in depth knowledge. I'm on far too many forums though, so I guess I'm used to the format and the manner to get to the info I want/need. The Planted Tank, Dendroboards, NANFA, Shrimp Now, ect....

[SunnyHouTX]

Some of these guys should get on MFK to see how it goes over there LOL

You don't understand, I've recommended it time and time again, but like I said, Facebook is more easily accessible, and people want convenience. Not one person I've told to join HFB has, but when I tell people to join the Facebook page, I get a request almost immediately

I repeat:

Lol, don't read too much into what I say then.

I've had the samething I tell tons of people about the box I think maybe possibly one person has joined but erryones on FB just about

[Austy16414]

Maybe I should just stop reading it altogether, doesn't seem like we're really getting anywhere

[mnemenoi]

LOL, we have done the same. Occasionally folks will try it for a bit and occasionally come on for something specific. It is funny that when I try searching stuff on the net I find links to HFB. I just never thought in a million years it would be here and lo and behold... Its really a treasure for local folks. Anything they have had to deal with is usually discussed on here somewhere and has a ton of info.

Don't sweat it there's always been debating here everyone has there point of view both sites are great in there own way

[Austy16414]

No sweat. I'm always up for a debate, just not a one-sided one lol

[nightster]

This is true lol

I was just speaking generalities, my post had nothing to do with the topic at hand. The box is a much easier media to get questions and information across. I think since people are on facebbok more than any other media outlet nowadays its easier to just click the group. That being said, name drop the box often and hfb will grow more. B/S/T on HFB can never be too big imo.
