Good morning to all of our Fishbox family. As some of you have probably noticed, our site is going through some changes. If you cant find your favorite place to hang, just shoot me or the other Mods a p.m. and we will direct you there.

I would like to welcome to the Mod Hell, LOL, our newest Mod, Poke. We will be making a lot more changes through out the day as we feel out what works, looks, and feels the best. We are trying to make this easier to get around and find things and also trying to keep all topics busy. A lot of things have been condensed and others removed. Instead of a show and tell section, we now have a place for all pictures, & videos. (kind of the same thing, just placed in a different local) Also added is a product review/discussion towards the bottom of the forum page. Here you can talk about all products involved in the hobby. Any new foods, filtration, etc....

Also, the forum has been taken over by an individual that is quickly becoming a local favorite, for the things he offers and does and how he is running his new business. Welcome in our new Admin, Cory from Aquarium Co-Op. I have known Cory for a while now, we met years ago when he was managing a small fish store up in Conway. And one thing that I have noticed is that when he takes on a task, he wants it to be the best. Just look at his store (which I wish was a bit closer to me :) ) So I can almost guarantee that he will make fishbox something special.

We will be keeping the POTM, but are still deciding on possible prizes other than just getting your picture on the banner. We are looking into getting more well known sponsors, like Hakari and others. The market section will somewhat remain the same, but if you thought I was a pain before on the market rules, Guess what, I am still going to be. We want all subject lines to start out with, FS, WTT, WTB, FT, FREE and then the other required items.

As things come up, I will add them here. And please feel free to comment on any of the changes, or if you have ideas.
 
Thanks, madness! NOW... WITH MY POWER... I SHALL WHIP THEE TO OBLIVION AND RULE THE WORL-...! Or something like that. hahaha! :drunk: 

I'm really liking how things are looking. WaFishBox is such a great way to meet new friends.

Thanks for the post Madness,

I'm hoping we can move this community forward again. Look for lots of positive changes here. Don't be afraid to make suggestions in the forum operations section.

Upon acquiring WaFishBox I've found we're using some very limited forum software technology. In the coming months we'll be looking at how we can move all the current content to a new platform if it's feasible. Our current host provides no way to backup content. Which means if the server crashes we lose all of our posts. It also means we can't just make a backup and move it to a more stable provider.

In the mean time what can you do?? Stay active! Tell your friends, post on your Facebook or Craigslist etc.

Don't worry. Poke is only a mod so we can push all the blame for anything bad onto him.
 
We still have yet to see a VIDEO of LJ's 15 gallon tank ;-) come on LJ, I already gave you some software names for you to try out, as far as video editing is concerned. What's the hold up? I already have 3 videos of my 15 gallon. lol

Anywho, If you haven't already noticed, there's a new search box to the right of the forum, try it out. It's slightly better than the Search Tab, because it lets you search outside of the forums (using google).

Lol, I will not stand for this totaltarian, socialist, pro-communist, marxist, dictatorship known as the PokeSephiroth moderator regime!

Fight the oppression! :ibox: :violent: :nutkick:

Hey Cory, one thing that has never worked on here is the multi-quote tab. I would assume it is for clicking on all the posts that you would like to comment on, and having them pop up so that you can do them at once, instead of copy paste, copy paste, copy paste......................

Can you fix this?

Works for me.  You select all the posts you want to quote with the multi-quote button (turns pink/red) and then click the reply button all the way down at the bottom on the left.  I quoted you with multiquote :)

That option to search the forum using Google has always been there.  You just click that search tab in the navigation bar up top, then click Advanced Search, type in your keywords and click on Search Google. I don't like the look of the forum page with that search box on the side now.  I do like the other changes though. And congrats, Poke and Cory. :)

Where is the chat room?
The chat room has been disabled due to it being counteractive to a forum. With a thriving chat room, the forum will lose out on information. With a thriving forum, no one will use the chat room etc. We're focusing the content to one central location. In the future we can revisit the chat room feature if needed.

Nothing is final yet, we're still trying things out etc. For instance we can shrink the size of the search box, add other options over there etc.
 
Thanks DMD123! I believe it was you who was the first member to welcome me to the forum! :) We shall keep our forum full of topics and great discussions! :D

AQUARIUMIZE ALL THINGS!!!
