Announcement Concerning the C-SEA Forum

[rbaker]

It has become apparent to the staff of Reef Central that we are not meeting the desires of C-SEA and its current BOD. Although Reef Central never received a direct written communication of those desires, recent postings by the C-SEA BOD members indicate that what the BOD wanted was absolute editorial control over this forum. This, for a variety of reasons, Reef Central cannot provide (mainly because local politics, personality conflicts and agendas then become Reef Central's policies by default). After veiled threats of legal action, threats of concerted actions with and against loyal RC sponsors, and just plain old-fashioned lies and misinformation concerning Reef Central, it is with great regret we have decided it is in the best interests of both Reef Central and C-SEA to dissolve our relationship.

Reef Central does not wish to sever the relationship with those northern Ohio aquarists that find us a useful resource. Neither do we want to disconnect you from other Reef Central members with whom you have developed relationships via this C-SEA Forum.

To accommodate those Ohio aquarists that choose to participate locally on Reef Central, this forum will be renamed "Northern Ohio Reefkeepers." This forum will be geographic only and have no connection to or responsibility for any prior associated club.

This action is not taken lightly, and only after extensive discussion and agreement by Reef Central Staff.

Thank you for the support you have provided Reef Central in the past. We look forward to your continued participation here in giving one-another a helping hand with the hobby we all love.
