I come on this site, with no exageration, about 100 times a day. I search and search the forums for good answers and it also helps know who is reliable to get advice from (I would not be one of them.. ).

I just can't say enough nice things about this site!

Addicting because there's alot of knowledgable members that enjoy helping others.. Made some friends here,
and can't thank them enough for help when I needed it etc.
And it's also a good feeling to help someone who might know less.

I kept fish for many years, then found this site and realized how little I knew.. It's amazing what I've learned since I arrived at the FP doorstep

I also got a kick in the *** when it was needed.

Work?? Oh yeah, thats the place where I spend MOST of my time on FP

I get myself to log off every few minutes, but then jump right back on in less than 2 mins usually. It's really bad. When none of my threads have been updated, I have to start reading the old ones...I know way too much about stuff I won't remember later...lol

Thanks again for having and participating in a great site

I would also like to thank/blame every one for making this such an addicting place to be. I've had to start setting the alarm for work earlier and earlier so I have time to check things out every day.

People who will listen to fish talk without rolling eyes, getting bored, etc. That's really important to me.

I'm loving this site since I discovered it last month. Pretty much everyone here has some area of expertise, or at least of some knowledge. For example, I'm more of a bottom feeder kind of guy. There's a strong sense of community here, and there isn't any nastiness or vulgarity.() Anyhoo, keep it up!

Don't worry Cyndie, you'll be giving advice before you even know it

You catch on quick if your read everything everyone writes

PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.

I have only been on this site since...oh....last week. And I am on here all day at work...(don't tell my boss)...and I have to check it all the time at home. I don't even have my tank cycled yet and I am addicted to this.

I can just tell this is going to be one expensive hobby And I thought rubber stamping and scrapbooking was bad!! :%)

Good thing fish aquariums reduce your blood pressure and stress level...with the added expenses I may end up homeless...well..right next the tank...lol

Heck where else can you go to blow off steam, get a good laugh, have a shoulder to cry on, or have someone chew your @$$ (only when you say something incredibly stupid), and have a potatoe to nibble on?:%)

Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but the reason I keep coming back is the excellent salad bar.

Honestly, who doesn't love a good salad?

Yep, I'm not just addicted to fish-keeping, I'm addicted to FishProfiles too! I think there's a real sense of community here, and I just keep on coming back. I don't know what it is specifically that makes this site work for me, but it does.

I love you guys *hugs FP people*
