MichaelS, I personally don't have a problem with Dendroboard and check them out often. A lot of their members have great ideas on setting up tanks and various other suggestions. I think its good to get idea to check out a lot of different forums and hear different opinions. It's only when members get aggressive or argumentative for argumentative sake that it becomes a problem. Frog care has changed a lot over the last 20 years. There are species that were once thought so delicate that they could not be kept by the hobbiest. What we often find is that we didn't know "HOW" to properly care for them. With the open exchange of ideas and suggestions we all learn how to better care for our animals. Some Dendroboard members have been known to intimidate and batter down newcomers in an often disrespectful way. That is not tollerated here as we have a very family type atmosphere. I think each forum has their strengths and weaknesses...stick around awhile and you'll see why we call it home.
