i joined this forum in good faith and expected replys in less than 12 hrs, there seems to be some activity going on so why so shy
when it comes to posting or replying or is this the normal here?

The forum is always a little slower, during winter and coming out of winter into spring. It will pick up more and more each week as it gets warmer. Overall this is a good forum, I have no complaints.

"do you here me i only joined" im far from fish expert

[RobAmy]

I was not implying you were complaining at all, I was just saying I have not had any complaints over the years I have been here. Sorry if you took it that way. Thanks for your comment on my pond.

 

[doobry]

Sometimes it all depends on what you are posting about. I don't jump in on some of the topics if I have no knowledge about what is being asked.

I'm with @addy1 - I try to answer questions that I know something about, or I ask more questions to try to get the problem tuned in. But this is actually a really active forum compared to some I've been on. And not only are we active, we're friendly, patient, helpful, smart, AND funny!

please dont take this the wrong way i was only stating an observation i had when i first posted ,
i wasnt even sure if i had posted correctly or if the forum was live or dead and now im getting a lot of responses which proves i was wrong ,
hopefully ill be able to contribute to this forum in a positive way in the future .
even though my knowledge on the subject is minimal.

We all started out with no knowledge, and learned as we go. I carry what I have from my garden, aquarium, and nature knowledge over, and what I’ve learned by reading and research. It’s never to late to learn something new! Except math; math is my evil nemesis!
But yeah, time difference and day of the week and season all play a part. I joined up here a little over a year ago, cause I decided to take my pool full of fish to pond level, and had just had my first major set back. Now I’m all about ponds, I spend half my free time trying to learn more, and wanting to do more.

please dont take this the wrong way ,

Never! The forum has up and down days. Esp this time of year. Nice weather and everybody is outside.
