Perhaps consider expanding the "All About Shrimp" section and include..

Cherry

Crystal (Red/Black/SW/GB) Shrimp

Taiwan Bee & Mishlings

Tiger & Tibee

Pinto (Spotted & Zeb)

Sulawesi

Other

Can even add their scientific names for newbies to identify and learn their terminology ?

[NoGi]

I hoping to reduce not increase ;) That said, if there is enough activity to warrant its own forum I would consider that as well. I just don't want too many forums each with only minimal activity. If that makes sense.

[skfadmin]

First pass has been done and things moved around to be a little more logical.

I'd like to explore this, sounds like a fairly major shuffle with the forums but if it leads to a better user experience than I'm all for it. Feel free to post some suggestions.

I rather like this idea a lot..

Would be easier to navigate to find exactly what info you are looking for in regards to shrimp..

It might mean more sections.. but might be worth a go.

^_^

Ok Shrimp species has been added

[NoGi]

Another shuffle and consolidation. To make things easier, I've also enabled the subforum links from the front page.

[ATTACH]6565[/ATTACH]

Forums that have hardly any threads will be closed and merged into something more appropriate. Keep the suggestions coming.

:help::worried: I still can't find the library :o

[ineke]

Thank you :clap:

[OzShrimp]

I note that its been mentioned the forum has changed ownership, i thought it wasnt part of the sale of the BOSS business. Has it been taken over by Squiggs or someone else?

[NoGi]

I run it now and don't have any shrimp related business. I'm in IT :-)

[OzShrimp]

Very nice, I know curiosity killed the cat but i dont like cats anyway :) So do you own it or is it owned by Dean and run by yourself :)

As i said just curious lol :) You are doing a great job Nogi and alot more life has been breathed back into the place for which i am grateful as i am sure others are aswell :)

[NoGi]

I own it now, Dean is taking a well deserved break.

Still a few hiccups to work through like premium subscription renewals not working right.

[newbreed]

+1 Lots of change in a short time, but positive change all round I would say!!

[keego]

I own it now' date=' Dean is taking a well deserved break.

Looking great Nogi, keep up the good work. Dean left it in good hand, like with BOSS aquarium.

[NoGi]

Thanks for the support guys. Plenty of things planned for the future of skf once I get it back into the black lol.

[ineke]

Well done Nogi. I'm sure everyone will support you 100%.

Will you be approaching other businesses in relation to possible sponsorship of the forum?
