Retirement and forum shutdown (17 Jan 2022)
Hi,
John Howell who has managed the forum for years is getting on and wishes to retire from the role of managing it.
Over the years, he has managed the forum through good days and bad days and he has always been fair.
He has managed to bring his passion for fish keeping to the forum and keep it going for so long.
I wish to thank John for his hard work in keeping the forum going.
With John wishing to "retire" from the role of managing the forum and the forum receiving very little traffic, I think we must agree that forum has come to a natural conclusion and it's time to put it to rest.
I am proposing that the forum be made read-only from March 2022 onwards and that no new users or content be created. The website is still registered for several more years, so the content will still be accessible but no new topics or replies will be allowed.
If there is interest from the ITFS or other fish keeping clubs, we may redirect traffic to them or to a Facebook group but will not actively manage it.
I'd like to thank everyone over the years who helped with forum, posted a reply, started a new topic, ask a question and helped a newbie in fish keeping. And thank you to the sponsors who helped us along the away. Hopefully it made the hobby stronger.
I'd especially like to thank John Howell and Valerie Rousseau for all of their contributions, without them the forum would have never been has successful.
Thank you
Darragh Sherwin

I felt like wrapping it all up after that,
In the end,
That's why I let the three I had left go!
I think last year could have ended in disaster,
As I was suspended with full pay in November from my job,
Turns out I did nothing wrong and I'm starting back in January,
And the cherry on the cake for me was my son (Ciaran Jr) was born on 02/12/2014
And is doing very well,
So it was a special time il hold dear.
AND I'm off the smokes 6 months,
So if any of the next year's to come are anything like the last one il be a happy man,
As far as aquatic projects are concerned I think I'm going to breed rams,
German, dare I say electric blues,(i know how you feel about them John
) or goldsIf not maybe a lesser known type of bn,
Any way here's to a few more years of eventful fish keeping
Anyone with a aquarium can keep fish,
But it takes real skill to be a fish keeper,
And it's spongeBob,
SpongeBob lives in a pineapple under the sea
