moondog Moderator The Hobnob-lin Posts: 2676 Kudos: 1038 Votes: 4366 Registered: 30-Sep-2002	how a species specific board can even compete with us on aquarank without cheating. although they do claim over 4500 members....

Toirtis Mega Fish Posts: 1260 Kudos: 529 Votes: 6 Registered: 24-Feb-2003	Its not species-specific, though....firstly, there are a number of piranha species, and the board's description does point out that it covers all predatory fishes....which is a very popular area these days. As for 4500 members, if you look closely enough at the membership list of almost every fish board with more than 1000 members, you will find that 85%+ of those accounts have posted one time or less in the past 24 months, that that board probably actually has an active membership of less than 350.

I am amongst the predatory fish people....but look closely at the member list and postings....there is not anywhere near 350 people regularly posting on that board (or almost any other board, for that matter)....98% of the posts come from less than 100 members....most of those 8500 accounts have never posted or have remained dormant for 12 months or more, so it is unlikely that they are regularly voting on Aquarank.

lil_mikey69 Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3180 Kudos: 2380 Votes: 1 Registered: 22-Jan-2003	I think its funny that ReefCentral isn't even listed on AquaRank. By far the largest and most active fish messageboard I have ever seen. Right now there are more than 500 users browsing the site.

Posts: 1031 Kudos: 205 Votes: 110 Registered: 25-Jul-2000	I remember when this site was small (thats how long i've been here for) I also remember when aquariacentral was one of the busiest around, then everything went downhill, and then some of the regulars moved to tom's place. Now they're back over at aquaria central or whatever its called now. Course, with every busy site, you get the knowitalls and the trolls. as well as the insults.
