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
Results for the June Round
First place, Jonlate #01
Second also Jonlate #03
But since no contestant can win two prizes the second prize goes to Third 07 Fishmad 1234
Fourth (joint) 13 Ski
& 18 Helix
Who can liaise to see who gets the prize, and who settles for the plaudits.
As previously mentioned, Daniel has again gone AWOL so we will have to assume his offered shrimp tank donation is no longer available, unfortunately.
Here is a list of prizes for this round.
(In no particular order).
Q_Comets has kindly put his third-placed prize from the April round back up as a prize for June,
Robert has generously donated a full 250 mil unopened bottle of Easy Care Profto fertiliser plus a second opened bottle which is 90% full.
And our good friend (and Competition prize benefactor) Ger310 has offered another bag of 50
grade B 5" Catappa leaves (wouldn't have minded them myself).
As with previous rounds it is now for the winners (as already suggested) to get together either via these pages or using the Private Messages function to decides who chooses which donation. Perhaps when decisions are reached you can let us know (please).
Well done to the winners but even more importantly perhaps thanks to the members who took the time and trouble to submit entries and the ten members who (once again) were good enough to have sent in votes for the said entries.
John
(Watch out later for details of the July Round -with a well-worth winning prize – donated by our ‘Prodigal’ returnees - Aquatic Village).
