What would you like to see us do differently?

How abouts advertising MSN / Skype info more prominently - I see where nakoma's coming from - perhaps the moderators/admins/guru's can make turns in answering "live" questions from members.... Perhaps in a "group chat/conference".... Not sure how this can be done though?

That can help a person like me that dont have any person around me that can help with say: "i dont now if my system is setup rite", i can then go live on cam and u guys can see if somthing is not rite.

Nice idea, that will be implemented.

nakoma said:
agree what about a budget tank of the month to let some of the people that has low tech systems show us how they do it, some people i suppose dont want to post their tanks because they belive that the tank of the month is sutch a high tech system that they feel shy to post their tank, they might think they are not up to standard with their diy setup. i might be wrong about that but i think not and maybe if we can have a few nice competitions to get more people intrested or we can maybe organise a once a year get together of marine people to have a braaii and nice chat. up at a more central location camping trip or something or am i getting of topick now. maybe someone can organise a online chatroom specially for people seeking advice we can maybe advertise the chatroom at the start page with a link to download the chat client like pal talk or something and have a moderator open the room at certain times of the day, it's free where people can join in to talk about things or just family can join in and have a nice time talking on the mic sing or whatever can be nice the room can be locked and password protected so your kids can come chat listen to music and be safe i think kanga can howl on the mic for us

My suggestion is to possibly get the sponsors a bit more involved, maybe once a month one of the sponsors can write an article on what they are experiencing in the LFS, for example ignorence of customers, aclimitisation techniques preferred, why they stock what they do, what do they prefer to feed, .. dunno, lots of topics that can help us to understand things from their side, it also gives them an opportunity to run a special, maybe have a meet and greet at the LFS for members.

Good idea, I will approach the sponsors.

Muz have a great idea- getting the sponsors more involved, not only advertising their "Specials" but more tech stuff too

Yes, I will see if I can get the sponsors to list more items in detail that they stock. I have been looking into giving them a dedicated section on MASA where they can list and show pictures and add info of items they sell. Must admit I have been a bit lazy on implementing this.

Totm Link you can click on as Reef Central has

It's on the home page and I have also just created a dedicated forum which lists all of our Featured Systems threads.

Visitors "browsing" the forum need to subscribe first before browsing are enabled- that'll pick up members list as well as get them more involved

Certain elements of the forum have been closed off to "guests" however at this stage we will not prevent guests from having access to the normal forum.

Uploading videos in better pic quality as well as easier than YouTube- then more members will start uploading

Unfortunately you are stuck with youtube for now, I will see if there is something I can add on to assist with this but I don't think there is.

Constructive critisism by means of "Button Icon"- easier for members to press a button regarding another member's tank than to write a sentance saying how they feel about the tank/setup (Button- Good, Fair or need improvement- something like that) It'll be almost like your own "poll" of your tank and you can seehow it goes up or down at any day.

hmmmmm, we'll see.

Comparison area where different eg. Skimmers etc can be compared to one another or lights... eg Tech info on left downwards and different skimmer names on top towards right (Like An excell spreadsheet table) eg flowrate for diff. skimmers/ pumps etc
At least any member can compare straight away what size pump/ lights/controllers/isolators etc will be the right one for his/her setup

Feel free to write up an article and we will display it in all it's glory and will give full credit to the author. Along these same lines it would be nice if members can do comprehensive comparisons on certain pieces of equipment, like Boyu vs SEIO etc. I have so much to do I honestly don't have the time to do this, although it would be an awesome feature. Any volunteers to help?

Banned/Deleted post area. We would all like to know why certain members/ posts are deleted- Call me curious but at least I'll know what not to say/ do after I read deleted posts/topics

Curiosity killed the cat

Gallery area where all members setups can be viewed by clicking on a members name- not paging through whole thread to find pics

I think we need to look into buying some decent software to run our images, it is a bit "all over the place" at the moment.

Think that is enough for now....LoL

Thank goodness :p

I don't see any things you can click on RC to go to their TOTM besides on their home page, in the left column, WHICH IS THE EXACT SAME PLACE WHERE OURS IS!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
you can make a chatroom have it pasword protected with all the others you cant create chatrooms where alot of people can join more than 20
 
Can we not have some forum where feed back is given about new products that are tested by a member (Maybe one of the more experienced members) and honest critique is given.

Would be nice, even get multiple reviews of the same products
* Have a reviewer score/reputation
* Almost like Ebay or so

That way we could have a newcomers pint of view etc. Something that might be simple for an old hand might be difficult to set up for a new guy


I like that idea
