U.K.-specific syno forum

Post by Chrysichthys »

I'm planning to start up a forum to keep tabs on shops, availability, prices, etc. for synos and other African cats in the U.K. and would like to hear from Planet Catfish users who might be interested in joining. I'm just starting to set it up, but when it's ready I'll pm everybody who has expressed an interest.

Maybe a silly question, but why not just start a "megathread" here? I mean like Marc's "What Auchenipterid..." topic?

Hey,
Maybe a silly question, but why not just start a "megathread" here? I mean like Marc's "What Auchenipterid..." topic?
sounds really great to me :) since I am not from United Kingdom and a few other obvious reasons :).

Regards.

I didn't think of that. Actually it will be a bit more elaborate than that, with separate topics. The overlap with Planet Catfish will be minimal because the emphasis will be on shops. (No point in trying to re-invent the wheel).

For the sort of think I have in mind, check out the recent 'Looking for Syno-Longirostris' thread.

Anyhow it will be set to go in a couple of days, so people can have a look and make suggestions.

No problems with non-U.K. residents joining (except for the French :D--only joking!), but they might not find it very interesting.

Perhaps you are right - most of the time. Should someone intend to go to the UK - matters might change

also, a discussion about where to get what Syno will easily expand into - you can differentiate Syno x from y by such and such markings - again probably quite interesting indeed

There will be space for photos etc. to broaden the appeal. It's nearly ready now, I just need to do the stickies for it and make some last-minute changes, when I find the time.
