I am on board on this record breaking and I think doing it on the forum's anniversary is a good idea

Currently keeping:

 

1x Formica subsericea, (used to be polygynous) 20+ workers

1x Lasius umbratus, (Workers accepted) 25 workers with host brood (I think they are dead now lol)

1x Crematogaster cerasi 4 workers with brood (still growing)

 

As you watch your ants march, remember: every journey begins with a single step (or queen)-not just towards you, but towards a future woven by diligence and shared dreams - Me

Just posting this to keep this discussion at the top where it's more visible. Would it be possible to pin this topic?

Wouldn’t posting to keep the topic at the top be breaking rule 4?

4. No posting any spam messages, including posting of messages that add little to no value to the topic of conversation.

 

I think it would be ok because the nature of this topic is that we need the attention of other members. But incase I'm wrong, could one of the administrators check this out?

Your profile picture really stands out and attracts attention, which is good.

Haha! I know right? The ant in the pic is Pheidole obtusospinosa, a rare species of Pheidole that's known for being trimorphic. The picture is from a scene from my favorite science youtube channel.

What you need to do is PM all the old timers that have disappeared. Maybe divide it up by alphabet or something.

Maybe everyone should PM ten members who's been offline for a while. You could write your message along these lines:

 

Hi/Hello, [reciver's username]. How are you? The reason I'm sending this message regarding Formiculture is because we(the members of formiculture) hope to break our forum's record, the record of most memebers visited in one day. And bring back people who's been offline for a long time. Every member counts, and we hope you will consider this. The date we have decided on is formiculture's birthday, September 10th. We do not have a set time of day, but we will message you further details if your interested. Here is the link to the post about it if your interested: https://www.formicul...t-a-new-record/

Thank you for your time and cooperation!
