ANother FOrum about Caudata

Thats cool!
This is probably good cause I think that a lot of newbies are scared off by:
1.It is a quite high level on a lot of conversations here, which is good but also scares some people off
2.A lot of people here seem to be sick of answering "stupid" newbie questions, which is understandable considering there are resources like caudate central and the forum's archive.
 
Well yes, it looks pretty much like a copy. I dont think there will be much talk about competition between these sites, John has secured the market already

Hopefully it can work as a complement instead even though I will be surprised if it will have the same long life as this forum already has had, it takes driven persons to engage in this sort of activities for longer periods of time

You can take that as a compliment John!

However, there is one feature on that site that I've been thinking about suggestion as a specific forum for this site:
Enclosure setups: indoor/outdoor, aquatic/terrestrial, species, what works well/what doesn't.
Certainly would have helped me at times.
 
Wow. I just visited it and yes... it looks a good deal like this site.... but that background could cause seizures.... gave me a headache.

IN any case, I'm not leaving.

Mike E: Great idea - consider it done.

Jesper: I like to think that I catch the newbie questions that no one answers because I feel everyone deserves a reply - I'll keep a sharper eye out for them from now on.
 
Hi John,
I understand that a lot of people that have been around for a long time get tired of the same questions coming up, I think that a lot of these questions should get picked by people like me ie people that are fresh off the newbie status

I feel that there are too few of us though and I wonder why, there are so many veterans around here but not a lot of "postnewbies" and newbies at least I have got this idea. Do you agree or am I wrong?
 
There are lots of "newbies" but they generally say very little on the forums - just look at the user list and then at the names of the people who post and you will see a huge discrepency.

Jesper, what is with your profile photo. I've banned people from the site for being "controversial" with similar photos before.
 
I'll take it down if need be np, but plz tell me what is controversial about it?
 
It is just a fun picture, a smiling "arabic" man in traditional clothes. I guess it is kind of a political statement with a lot of irony in it, I didnt have a picture of myself and no picture of a newt and I need an avatar...so Hassan got to be my avatar. I kind of hoped someone would ask me if that was a pic. of me, muhahaha

Ok if it offends people I will take it down right now... I would really like to know how it can offend people though.
 
Jesper, I think it has something to do with diverting attention away from the subject of caudates

What is a picture of oneself then? It is surely diverting attention from caudates into a more social interest. I mean I would like to know how the people I talk with almost everyday look like what their views on life are ie their personality etc. But is has nothing to do with caudates.

I would like to see a pic of you Tim and of John etc etc I guess I am a curious guy...
This avatar is my way of showing a part of my personality, and I would love if other people would show a little more of their personality.

I am sorry but I am finding it increasingly difficult not to know more of people here.
I mean I am very interested in newts but I find it very hard just to rip out a part of me and show only that tiny part when I am posting here.
I am an annoying guy who always drives people crazy mixing politics, philosophy newts and science and loves arguing about it with just about everyone I meet
biggrin.gif


And believe it or not but I remember before MTV too Greg!

Cheers
The annoying guy called Jesper
 
Jesper, if it helps, it didn't offend me. And, I was gonna ask if it was a pic of you.

so is it rude to go on that other forum and mention this one? This forum prolly has some of the best info out there.
 
ok, i shall try very hard not to feel piqued, as i don't think anyone was actually meaning to cause upset BUT there's a good reason why newbies are often afraid to post (on this and any other site) and that is that they are scared of veterens finding their questions irritating. i know there is a lot of information on this site, and on the web generally, but the wealth of information is a problem in itself...for example while researching tank set ups for lotls i have come accross temp guides from 14 to 20 c given as ideal, and i won't even start on the ph question! the point is, having a site like this, where you can just pose a question to people who have been sucessfully raising the same animal, is invaluable....if you really have heard it all before and can't spare 2minutes for someone who is desperate to get it right for an unhappy amphibian, please just ignor the thread

i'm just glad there were people around who could be bothered to point me in the right direction, when i needed help - however stupid my questions might have been
