Tank of the Month????

sdoggssf · 01/07/2009, 08:26 PM

I was just wondering if anyone knows why the Tank Of The Month takes so long to be posted now a days?

Kreeger1 · 01/07/2009, 08:26 PM

me too

stylolvr · 01/07/2009, 08:30 PM

I am going through TOTM withdrawls. My wife always makes fun of me for oogling over all the awesome equipment behind all these beautiful tanks.....says I have more important things to spend money on, like diapers.......

rgentry123 · 01/07/2009, 09:17 PM

hah! how, many hours of enjoyment did anyone ever get from changing diapers?

stylolvr · 01/08/2009, 05:46 AM

^ ^ agreed

Kreeger1 · 01/08/2009, 07:20 AM

jan 8th. Is there one this month?

lowman31 · 01/08/2009, 08:23 AM

Its usually posted the first weekend of the month. Since New Years was on Thursday, I bet the TOTM will be posted this weekend. Us reefers like to party. Gives us a chance to check out the best Vodka's.

Kreeger1 · 01/10/2009, 09:50 AM

the 10th??? Is there one this month seriously?

E.intheC · 01/10/2009, 10:32 AM

I like to check out the nano tank of the month.. just click on the nano thread, and it should be one of the first few links at the top.

The man is charge of it has been under the weather. Nothing major, but that is the reason for the delay.

cashman95 · 01/10/2009, 01:55 PM

What about last month...was he under the weather then? What about next month.....should we expect to get that late as well?

I understand that the Reefkeeping Magazine is done voluntary, but if its not going to be submitted responsibly..then maybe we should get someone else to do it!

I have been subscribing to Reefkeeping Magazine for many years, and in the past it has never had so many stumbles to get it out in time!!!!

Enough is Enough!

Get with it M.!

WOW.

That attitude is just shocking to me.

Kreeger1 · 01/10/2009, 02:33 PM

Truth hurts sometimes. Maybe it's time to pass it off to someone with more time?

cashman95 · 01/10/2009, 02:47 PM

Well you know I have held my tongue for a while now........but when enough is enough......it comes out!

I know M. does a lot(Pod Cast, personal website, RK magazine, stripping(lol), personal post) so maybe he is just too busy to handle this Mag.

If not then lets try to stick with the first Sunday of every month like it has been for so many years!

What do we want? RK Magazine!

When do we want it? Now!

Come on guys, give the poor fellow a break. Isn't it a little hard to be so demanding when it is FREE?

I was just going to say the same thing.. it's amazing how people can just demand so much... especially when the site is FREE and is done out of the general good will of the moderators and participants.. Relax.

Another thing that I have done that helps is to revisit some of the older tanks of the month, as well as hitting up some of the NTOTM articles.

Kreeger1 · 01/10/2009, 04:02 PM

Not that Im one of them but alot of people do pay to use RC.

saline solution · 01/10/2009, 04:06 PM

I agree...WOW

right, this is true. However, it's really to help out with operating cost of the site, not for the mods to make money

cashman95 · 01/10/2009, 04:22 PM

ReefKeeping Magazine, ReefKEEPING MAGAZINE, REEFKEEPING MAGAZINE!!!!!!!!!!!

cashman95 · 01/10/2009, 04:23 PM

Patience is much needed in this hobby, but come on........no more waiting!

I cant take it!!!!!!!!!

LulusMoogle · 01/10/2009, 04:33 PM

Phew, that's a hot attitude.

It's free. You chose to donate. If you're not happy with the site, then don't donate.

If people are getting their feathers all in a fluff over something like being impatient over when the next TOTM will be announced, then I think they're spending WAY too much time on RC.

C'mon, guys. We all get enthusiastic over things we like. But this is ridiculous. Let the man get back on track before going and saying that he's "fired".

It's not the end of the world.

Dano999 · 01/10/2009, 04:39 PM

Cashman95

I don't see you volunteering your time.

LulusMoogle

Thanks for spelling site right.

Very true indeed! And yes some days I have nothing better to do than to read this site!

As for back on track....If I remember correctly, he hasnt been on track ever since he started! The month he took control, he didnt have a tank of the month, and then a couple of months later, he again didnt have a tank of the month.......

Ok I am done....no more ill will out of me!

Patience I will find!
Tank of the month I will be awaiting!

Never said anything about the mods making money, just that some people pay for this site.
