I wish i was here from when it first opened but turtlesale [not reputable] used to have a forum thats where I started. I had over 13000posts before they closed it. now that forum was jumping. People went to buy from that terriable company and just joined the forum first to get help. You would click unread posts and it be 3 pages long. I had alot of fun.

One thing i liked was if you had over 2000posts and were deemed knowledgeable and then took actual turtle test the mods made up with general questions that might come up and then passed it you got the title turtle addict and a colored name. Not a mod but showed this person is a good one to listen too. Yes people failed the test. They werent easy questions. Everyone aimed for that. Then about week after i upgreaded from turtle addict to mod. They closed the forums LMAO

OK Mr. Diamondbacks4Life
I hereby dub you a Turtle Lover and "Sir Rockin' Turtle Owner"
Guess I should have posted this in the "Other Discussion" Forum, but don't know how to move it.

I've moved the topic. I sorely miss Spotsmama, she meant a lot to the forum. She and Spot are fine if anyone is wondering and is currently dedicated to a non-profit (but non-turtle) cause.
