GKarshens Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 They Banned him for doing an April Fool spoof on his new site called Reef Addicts. What a bunch of losers! He gave more to that community than anyone. They have shot themselves in the foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Dena Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Wow, guess they can't take a joke! You should see the crap they do in my office...and I work for attorneys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 This was left by the mod 'beerguy' on RC: "Sorry, but Marc was removed from TRC and ReefKeeping magazine for using RC's copyrighted logo for his own monetary gain. His "prank" was the last straw." What, exactly, were the other straws? Because, according to them, they didn't even use the logo...just s similar one. Just...wow...

pbnj Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I've had it with that forum. They seem to have more moderators than we do Senators, all on their own little power-trip. What's another good, popular forum (besides the ultimate, ARC)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffT Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I visit the other local club forums MARSHreef.com (Houston) and MAAST.org (South Texas) regularly when I get finished browsing ARC. Both have forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb in Austin Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Old news Gabriel! Between ARC, MAAST, DFWMAS, MARSH, and mr.saltwater tv; what else is really needed?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ACampbell Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 RC has always been uptight. I'm not surprised at all. Check out our list. Add your forum if its not listed. http://www.austinree...quarium-forums/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb in Austin Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I know my usage of that forum really dropped off when the big change occurred, but Melev's departure was a shot in the pills to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I find it ridiculous that I had to pay for a membership just to have a reliable search engine, which is about the only thing I use the site for...plus viewing the crazy large tanks. I can do that without a membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cyrus Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Yes well personally, my Birthday is April Fools and I've extended my shanigans for the whole month lol. Now how hard is it to make an account on there? MUHAHAHA! These idiots don't realize that was free advertising anyhow. I hope they fall apart.

Jimbo Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I find it ridiculous that I had to pay for a membership just to have a reliable search engine, which is about the only thing I use the site for...plus viewing the crazy large tanks. I can do that without a membership. I used the free search called google I stopped going to RC when they restricted the For Sale forum to those with quantity posts...I bought many things before that, and really saw no need to restrict it like they did. Just because I wasn't active and making posts with jibberish or bumps doesn't make me a bad person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Daniel Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I guess this old news, but I just found out... I just can't believe they banned Mark. Too bad the great LED write-up thread is on RC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 If they hadn't band him he'd have another huge thread going there now...after his 280 started leaking and he had to tear it down and put everything into temporary bins...

JimD Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Someone should email him an invitation to ARC. I've spoken to him on a few occasions and he seems like a pretty cool person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 He is a member here on our boards, but I haven't seen him here in a long time. He came down once and spoke at a meeting and we did a tank tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
