i have learned ENORMOUS amounts from these 'yak fish websites over past decade. and ALSO have given MUCH input myself, trying to help others in return.

unfortunately, many of those prior msg boards have now gone to the internet graveyard. and SADLY, for the few that are still online, the attitude of sharing info and/or helping other fishermen is mostly gone these days.

I used to be heavy in to aquarium/reefing and that community has changed too. It used to be a close nit community where people share what they had extra and involved their family. Some of my closest friends today were people I met during those days. There are still a lot of good people but the hobby as a whole isn't what it used to be. When people meet now its all about $$$
