Honestly, I never liked that forum. Hate to say it but the mods are literally toxic children haha. That's why I switched to AntsCanada.
The AntsCanada Ant Forums! The World of Ants!

I think both forums have great mods, just the community in formiculture is much more experienced, and, the mods are much less strict on it, for example, you can sell whatever you want, that's not AntsCanada, without being banned or warned on FC. Both are great though.nurbsants wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2017 3:02 pmI am a regular on Formiculture and also the GAN farmer for LA.Martialis wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2017 3:55 pmI think you've got that a bit backwards, sir.AntsOnTheCoast wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2017 2:26 amHonestly, I never liked that forum.

AC's mods leniency isn't necessarily a good thing, either. Many of the posts here are so illegible without the presence of a grammar or coherency rule that they are indecipherable.YSTheAnt wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2018 12:26 amI think both forums have great mods, just the community in formiculture is much more experienced, and, the mods are much less strict on it, for example, you can sell whatever you want, that's not AntsCanada, without being banned or warned on FC.

I don't know what you mean anyone caught doing illegal trade or breaking the rules is warned. If it was unintentional, then they will be informed of the law. Besides, I bet at least some of the populace here probably participates in exotic ant trade but does not post about it.for example, you can sell whatever you want, that's not AntsCanada, without being banned or warned on FC.

Bottom line is that AntsCanada forums are managed by AntsCanada and therefore lean towards AntsCanada's wants, which is ok because they run the forums. On the other hand, formiculture is run by an individual who devotes so much time and energy into running it, and he keeps it clean and yet so open, with numerous pages of new ideas and formicariums for sale, which promotes creativity and experimentation within the antkeeping community. Trying out new designs and ideas is, imo, a big part of the hobby. And, as a user of both forums, I can definitely say that formiculture promotes this aspect if antkeeping much more than AntsCanada.
Simply stated, I much prefer formiculture over AntsCanada, and I think martialis misunderstood me.
