121a Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 wow, RC, wow. I go there to sell stuff but that is about it. I am a little ashamed though that i have 2XX post over there They also don't have awesome mods like we do. NR's search also always works no matter if you pay or don't... I NR! Link to comment
Uhuru Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 RC is not the best place to ask questions. There's a lot of good info there but this forum is much more welcoming to everyone. However if you just want to lurk RC is a great forum to learn from some pretty hardcore reef hobbyists. Their large tank forum has some jaw dropping build threads. Link to comment
jamesnmandy Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Reef Central is the closest thing to a fascist web forum I've -ever- seen. I mean, to block links of anyone who isn't a sponsor, to block and censor links to other forums that might help people out... Instead, it's all about RC, who supports RC, and who is giving RC money. agreed, it is the Socialist Republic of China equivalent on the web when it comes to reefing forums this is not a bash, it is simply an observation, and since i am not the only one to come away from RC feeling this way it should not be considered as bashing, it is a common perception from all sorts of people Link to comment

herranton Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 agreed, it is the Socialist Republic of China equivalent on the web when it comes to reefing forums JK, I actually like RC for some of the specialized forums. The classifieds are good too. But they are nowhere near as good as this place Link to comment
davidr2340 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 That's great! Agreed... I should make it my avatar over there!!! Link to comment
StevieT Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 what a waste of ibtl I shall need a refund now Link to comment
holdorf333 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Yup...its cool here. Funny thing over on RC. I typed in the URL for this forum in a response to a guys question. The link to nano-reefs URL was instantly replaced by RC's URL. Until that, I was not so down on RC...but thats CHICKEN SH#T. Same here. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=158646 Link to comment

MrAnderson Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 what a waste of ibtl I shall need a refund now when i see people type "ibtl" here on NR my eyes/brain interpret it as "i'm a noob" Link to comment
filefish949 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 when i see people type "ibtl" here on NR my eyes/brain interpret it as "i'm a noob" now, that is sigworthy Link to comment
Daemonfly Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 RC isn't the only one that censors out the addresses of sites they don't like. C.M. does it here to a certain site just the same. RC just does it more. A lot more. Link to comment
TUDIZZLE Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 when I see the term "noob" used it makes me think they are an elitest snob from RC Link to comment
tinyreef Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Which site?pron sites. he has something against them for some reason. Link to comment
tinyreef Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 but seriously, to cm's defense i think he filters out offending sites (there's actually more than one iirc) that had launched attacks or spammed NR. so i guess they're more like auto-defenses than an arbitrary "dislike" of the site from cm. i still say the best defense is a complete annihilatory offense though. but i think he's more 'turn the other cheek', i guess. meh. but i've never known chris to edit a true informational or even referral link, even to "competitors". that's actually one of the reasons i've always liked NR the most out of the other places. it's only for "history" reasons that something like that's been done afaik.
