Message: <blockquote data-quote="purplerex" data-source="post: 210919" data-attributes="member: 38300">Constructive criticism: the constant sarcastic ‘welcome to the forum…’ posts have totally put me off posting much on here, to the point where this will most likely be my last post. Honestly no big deal because I’ve kept lots of Ts over the years despite only recently rejoining the hobby, so I’m confident/comfortable with most husbandry related stuff & know where to find information if needs be - but just please think about the total newbies you’ll be scaring away who might really need the support/advice. Internet forums aren’t what they were - like it or not, they’re not most peoples go-to for initial research. The chances are the majority of newcomers will be here after frantically googling stuff in a panic - the last thing on their mind will be to make a nice little intro post; their goal is the same as yours, happy, healthy Ts & often initial posts on animal related forums will be with panicked questions to try & solve an immediate ‘issue’.</blockquote>
