    I used to think of myself as a new member, but now I guess I'm one of the older, participating members.

    In response to several comments before, I don't think 3reef has changed in a negative way at all. IMO, it's still the same great site with a great environment. There's enough freedom to get your point across, but enough moderation to keep it fun and prevent unnecessary threads.

    It does seem that there have been many more teenagers joining and participating in this site. I think this is a really good thing, but I have noticed that some comments and attitudes have gotten a little worse.

    In my years on this site, I've noticed an ebb and flow of members as well. There will be a member who has just started a build, they will post a lot, then when it's finished, they won't post any more. There are also those who have gotten tired of answering the same question over and over again, which does become tedious, but I enjoy it b/c it has helped me really understand several areas in this hobby. I enjoy giving advice and sharing my knowledge and I am always learning something new nearly everytime I visit this site.

    May I just point out that the biker guy above me is definitely considered one of the old farts of 3reef ;) Good to see ya Otty :D

    And I believe that more young people are joining this forum because it's summer and they're out of school, and this hobby is becoming much more affordable. Plus the younger you are, the more fluent with the internet you are (or so it seems) ::)

    I'm the exception...cause I joined because of my mom. And I barely pay for anything with our tanks, I just had to pay for my mantis tank and that's it :) The reef tank's my mom's money, I just do the dirty work :lol:
