    I VOTE to remain Independent...

    Guys...as a new member i come here to get specific and detailed about my type of fish...ie DISCUS.... This is what a specialised site is all about, giving concrete, valued, specialised information to help fellow enthusiasts.Whilst it may seem a great idea at first to have a combined site, the only reason i chose to become a member was due to to the exclusivity of the site.

    Furthermore, i am an avid member of a car club.....because of the car i own.

    I emplore you to ask yourself this question....if you owned a ford or a holden would you go to a specialised ford or holden site or a GENERAL car club....Please dont make this a general type forum...we all know how that can go with totally irrelevant posts, not helping anyone....

    Anyways ive had my rant...INDEPENDENT is for me

    I found this site because I am interested in Discus, would be a shame to see it disappear like a lot of other sites. I see the purpose in expanding, but maybe only stick with Aquatic animals.

    I dont want to see this site becoming another PetLink.

    The people and the knowedge keep bring me back, I dont want to see the site becomming diluted with every other animal, therefor causing all the good people to move on.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Cheers
    Rob

    I agree with Rob this a site with a lot of information on the King of the Aquarium "Discus" I recon it should be kept that way.

    I have pretty much made my mind up about the direction of this site. It will stay focused on Discus, however some additional areas will be opened up to other areas of the aquarium hobby.

    Other pets, such as dogs and cats have good forums already out there, so maybe a few strategic links to those sites and leave this place for the fish heads

    Once upgraded nothing will come close to what we have as it will have a lot of custom modifications.

    We just need to finish some other big web related projects first

    After receiving several PM's about the current site and the new version. There will be a heavy focus on both planted aquaria and the keeping of Dwarf Cichlids.

    For those that might be wondering, www.plantgeek.net should be back online very soon, it too was a victim of our recent server failure
