Josh, I feel the forum is developing at just the right speed. The members seem to enjoy and have fun with most of the posts. I know I do and the information gleaned from this site, I personally feel has been invaluable. I feel it is user friendly and not mucked up with a lot of extra stuff that only seems to get in the way of what I really want a forum that I can communicate with others that have the same Passion for torts and turts that I have. I think you have done a Great Job setting up and administrating the forum and always keep the members needs, wants, and concerns in mind, and I think its members have done a Super Job of utilizing the tool you have given us. So Thank you, for helping to make this one of the friendliest, most fun, and informative Tort Forums I have been on. Without your vision we would not all be here together talking torts..

I agree, the 10 min edit rule is a good one.
This is a very awesome site. Ive been to sites where the MODs have become like the finally authority. I mean outside of just moderating the forums. If you disagree with their care advice they jump all over you. Even if they are wrong.
This site is going to be (already is but potently on a greater scale ) A happy home for all tortoise keepers all over the world. From breeders and hobbyist to people who just have one as a pet. We have to continue to build a solid foundation. Because a fortress with out a foundation is just a pile of rocks.
Josh awesome job.

I still don't really care for all the replies in the classified section that have nothing to do with a reply to the classified ad.

There should be an option for classified ads to be closed or open to comments. Check on the new thread page in the classified forum.

Good info, good layout- I got nothing to complain about!
About the only thing I can think of would be a few additions that might be fun, but they are certainly not needed to make this a better place however... just things I would like to see in a place like this...
- A FAQ for each species or group of turtles- basic diet, climate, etc. so when people ask the same questions over and over, we can, if we choose, link them to the FAQs.
- A database by species where we can contribute data- standardized measurements, plastron ring counts, etc. that can be used to help chart trends and averages- 'my Red-foot is 167mm SCL- according to the chart, the average 167mm Red-foot weighs XYZgr. and is about ABC months old'. It seems to me that the sheer amount of data a site like this can gather would help make some very useful correlations. It would be even more interesting if it could include research data like UVB/D3 use, humidity/temp levels, etc. somehow.
- A photo database of species, that would, ideally in my mind, include a photographic guide to ID'ing young and typical tortoises, and showing normal variations on the species- mottling, melanistic, etc.
