A NEW YEARS WISH from me and SimplyDiscus....

[brewmaster15]

Hi all,
SimplyDiscus has been here quite a while now. Its helped alot of people get started and get sorted out when they took a few wrong turns in the hobby. I like to think its played a very strong force in the Hobby. Maybe I'm biased as its owner but its what I think. I Know alot of people call the forum home and are regulars here as posters or readers. I know some have moved on to other hobbies or they just dont spend time on forums like they used to.I can't imagine how many people the forum has actually touched in some way...but Im sure its alot!

What I would really like to see is a thread just crammed full of SimplyDiscus members.... this thread. Stop by , say Hi. Post a pic if you want, share a memory.What ever you want. If you are on facebook and can post this to your groups without it being an issue, please share it there as well and link back to this thread so we can reach as many as possible. We travel in tight circles in this hobby...odds we are all still connected in some way. It would be awesome if we could get as many of the SimplyDiscus family to this thread.

Obviously its alot to ask....but Im sure even if it falls way short. It would be a great thread and would be great to hear from all our old friends where ever they are.

SO,Heres my official invite to everyone past and present on SimplyDiscus, Stop by,say Hello, and Happy New Year!

Al
OWNER,SimplyDiscus

Mery Christmas and happy new year to you too Al , and to all past , present and future members of Simply discus and fellow discus keepers around the globe .

I just can't imagine the number of members , guests and visitors throughout this 16 years of exsistance of this forum . I'm sure that number is huge given the long history of the forum .

A very Happy New Year to all simply members new and old. I know this forum has had a huge impact on me personally and for me this place is a community, not just a fish forum. I have learned a lot, made many friends and hope to make many more.

Happy New Year to you as well Al and all of your wonderful moderators!

Even though I just started in this hobby I do realize how valuable (and fun) this forum can be. From one of my very first posts asking what return pump would work in my sump, I knew that I found a place where people were as obsessed as I was. I could never have set up that aquarium so specific for Discus without the wisdom and advice of so many knowledgeable people. I have made some friends here, mostly people who have started about the same time as I did, who offer support and understand the frustration of wanting to do what is best for our Discus- that mistakes do happen and realize we are all still learning. That is what is so great about this forum as long as you are breathing, there is always more to learn.

The photos, tank journals and banter (friendly and sometimes not) makes this kind of a big, crazy family that spans the entire world. There is great joy, deep sadness, anticipation, sharing, technology, science, humor, sickness and the reward of vibrant beautiful health and sometimes the golden prize of fry! The sponsor section is also very valuable resource. I was able to find gorgeous, healthy stock that we all know are the key to success and the best nutritious foods to keep them that way that are just not available in Upstate NY- ever.
My Discus are the heartbeat of my home and have enriched us by adding color and life to a space that was once cold and dark.

This breed of fish are like the center of a wildly spinning vortex that draws us all in- some members glow brightly in the center while others choose to spin off and away as time goes on, maybe bouncing back in from time to time to recharge. The great thing is Simply Discus is always here if we need help or just want to share and find people who don't glaze over at the very mention of Discus.

So a huge thank you to Al and all who help keep Simply going. This hobby would be nearly impossible without the support and resources that are found here. It has helped countless people (and fish) around the world.

So again, wishing a happy healthy New Year to everyone who keeps this forum spinning brightly for all to enjoy!
