If drew were to make new mods, ANTdrew and zeiss would be best, as they’ve been here for a very long time.



EDIT: or FTSP, forgot about him.

I would like to apologize using the forum more like a chatroom. This is the first forum I have ever used so it is really new to me.

We do have several moderators. You can see who they are on the "Moderator Team" at the bottom of the front page of the forum.


Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies. 

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

1. a consistent derailment of threads, a pivotal example occurring only within this last few hours, where a long time user vendayn spamming pornographic imagery amongst other questionable statements on multiple threads, thankfully resulting in his swift ban, with further consequences hopefully soon to ensue. This was the most extreme example of such, though other notable examples include the derailment of the multispecies ant colonies thread by a number of users offering no relevant points for conversation and instead making unfunny jokes, this leading into my second point.

 

Why did he do that? Was he maybe hacked or something?

that was also my thought... without any warning, this suddenly happens. really could be a possibility though.


Ants I am keeping:

 none for now, planning on being more active this year
