Just want to say thanks to Brian...

Thank you Brian for letting me hang around here - not everyone will do that it seems.

I registered with a new koi forum the other day. It looked like a giggly and shallow sort of place with a lot of ooohin' and aaahin' (sp?) going on, but I joined on the advice of a trusted friend. I was banned before ever making the first post. Probably better that way.

Hoppy,
you're a damn good koi keeper and a straight up guy. I can only think of one site that doesn't want any honesty.

i can't believe you went back THERE...lol

FYI they had a 'puter crash and the 20+ that signed up that day got zeroed out -- no one was banned, so you might want to try it again.

And Luke, no, it's not that place!

if it is that Loveshack place then well I am not banned.....................yet.

they did say they had a computer crash, yeah it is alot of the fluff stuff but there is noone playing god with the site

What happened to the guy who is going to costa rica to a nice pond farm? He just seems to have evaporated or changed nics or something.

I grew up in Corpus Christi in a catholic family of seven. On rare occasions, our parents would take us all out to dinner to a little seat-yourself, paper-napkin place on the edge of town which was reputed to have the best fried chicken in Texas. Now, fried food is taboo in our house and the older I get the more I think about how good it tasted at the Chicken Shack. Maybe that's the attraction.

The nice lady e-mailed me to say that my registration was lost; so maybe my reputation did not precede me after all.

No Steve, it wasn't you. They had a hiccup with the server. I had my first few posts go poof. But it was an honest mistake poof.

So far a pretty good board, less tampering and more koi talk.

But yes, I would too like to thank Brian for this board. It's the one I always check first and last, and have learned the most from.

I haven't subscribed yet, mostly because the mag did seem to be in some sort of transition when I joined, however let me say that if this site becomes subscription I will gladly pay for what I think is the best board for koi on the net!

I wish Brian and his family the best, and great sucess on any and all future ventures!
