Reptile & Amphibian Forums

This was the first place I saw such a thread and I think its an awsome idea however today while surfing the Ball Python threat I noticed they have somone doing the exact same thing. How manny foums do this? Would be nice to see somthing like this in some of the other forums I visit as somtimes if you dont check every day the pages can add up real fast just like they do in this forum. Anyway thanks in advance and keep up the good work

Actually, I credit Tosha over in the BP forum for being the originator of the Week in Review (WIR). I borrowed the idea from her. It is a great idea for other forums as well so if you wanna do a 'corn snake week in review' for instance, knock yourself out. BUT I'll be honest, it takes a TON of time to do. Plus, you have to decide which content to cut without appearing to favor any one particular person. I try to be as fair as possible. Anyway, I'm glad my WIR has attracted so much interest to the boa forum, which was one of two of my main goals.

I see. I think I may just do that, Sounds like a good idea.
My Research and Collection

my 2 reasons for doing the WIR:
1)TO HOPEFULLY GENERATE MORE INTEREST IN THE BOA FORUM
especially for all those out there who silently lurk or rarely post. Keep in mind that thousands (YES thousands) of boa keepers out there do NOT make their hobby known OR do NOT use the internet to share photos or valuable experiences. This is particularly true when you attend a herp show and see lots of vendors that you've never heard of online. Also, most full-time breeders with large collections do not have time to read and respond to posts and therefore, novice breeders (such as myself) may lose out on valuable replies, advice, etc.

2) MY 2ND REASON IS SIMPLY TO PLAY CATCH-UP ON ALL THE HAPPENINGS WITHIN THE BOA COMMUNITY.
Its exciting to see new morphs or new locales being produced and I hate when I miss something...It's like that feeling I got when I had to ask someone what an IPod or MP3 player was. LOL. Besides, I rarely have time to surf the net during the week and I get up at around 430am and I'm out like a light by 9pm due to a very active little baby keeping me busy. Therefore, I use Saturday mornings to decompress from the work week. I do this by browsing the week’s worth of content on this forum. I would end up reading all the posts anyway. Except now I cut and paste thread links and pic URLs (maybe it’s the teacher in me.lol). BTW, this past week was a little light on postings. I imagine it will pick up in the next few months as we see more and more new litters being born! I strongly believe that we will see some mind-blowing new things over the next several years. Its going to be VERY exciting times for all of us boa lovers in the near future!
