I'm happy to help, just let me know what I can do. Maybe start the bassleri/pepperi section since I'm writing an article at the moment for the DE mag on them.

Ok its open! Thanks for the great ideas and keep them coming.

I have copied some of the care sheets and will work on the rest soon. I still have a lot that need renamed.

So this is my first attempt at pulling something together. I still need to populate breeding, housing, rearing young, etc. but this is the beginning.

The one issue so far is preventing folks from posting non-germane comments, such as "I like bassleri". I've moved a few so far but maybe a disclaimer should be added to each care sheet if they are to remain open posts? Thoughts on format?

You wanted it, you police it (I'm too busy cleaning up all the off topic posts in the "General" section

). NOTHING you can ever do will stop the off topic tide.

Just make a big bar graphic that says something like "STOP POSTING ASININE LIL COMMENTS AND IRRELAVENT INFO IN THIS THREAD!!! 1ST OFFENSE WARNING, 2ND 1 MONTH BAN, 3RD LIFETIME BAN ...To harsh? LOL

If you need more mod help I still visit daily and would more than willing to "sweep" when I can.

Actually in regards to Bassleri, galacts, and possibly even most of the larger frogs in general and pumilio and even thumbnails, I probably have enough experience with members of those groups and am familiar enough with issues concerning them all that I may be able to effectively serve as a co-moderator cleaning up a few "I like frogs!" posts and examining other posts for valid content. Basically I'd leave it to the main moderator of any section to make the tough calls but I could serve to lighten their load concerning the more mundane issues, and would be willing to do so for one section at least. Bassleri or galact sections would be my preference.

Given the shear number of species and morphs/localities of thumbnail species and my limited experience with only gl lamasi and gold vents while not being as familiar with the entire group like say I may be with pumilio (even though I've only kept darklands), I would probably find myself less comfortable there even as a co-moderator.

Hyloxalus azureiventris - think it would be a good idea to get a caresheet up for these guys as well, as they seem to be gaining popularity

Perhaps Ranitomeya vanzolini, Ranitomeya uakarii, and inevitably, Ranitomeya benedicta?? Just some thoughts, no pressure

I think a topic of discussion is how far do we go with moderating this section. If you go too far it will not be used and turn people off. My thought would be to allow open conversations but to aggressively moderated the sticky posts/care sheet reform.

I am also open to some adding additional moderators even if for only this section.
