Frequently Asked Questions



Recommended Posts

Thanks! Let's use this thread to compile a complete list. Once it's completed, I'll convert the info into an official FAQ.

I really was hoping that I wouldn't need to write and compile the FAQ's myself. If everyone contributes just a few questions/answers, we can really get the ball rolling.

We are talking about it on the vets forum right now that's why I bumped it :)

I'm more of a wise cracking, once in a while dropping a pearl of wisdom type person myself

(Perfect for moderator wouldn't you say? :P)

But hopefully we can get this thing going.

Well let's stop talking about things and start doing! :P

If it were up to me I'd do away with the entire concept of moderators and moderation. I'd love to run my communities like reddit lol.

Well there goes my shameless attempt at power!!!

Ok I will bug the others that are sick of the "same old questions" to do something other than whining about it.

I have a request. Can the FAQ be curated by the veterans? There is a lot of misinformation (unintential I am sure) that gets bandied around by newbies. I think the FAQ should be trustable.

I'd like to help out with it even though I'm not a veteran. Where do you suggest that the list is compiled, Alex?

You know you're on my (very) short list if we ever do need more mods. I plan on adding roles that members can volunteer to fill once the new site is rolled out. Members could be part of welcoming committees, spam annihilators, topic editors (spelling, grammar etc.) and so on.

Thank you very much!

I agree whole heartily on this too!

I'm sorry due to business travel and a busy work schedule I haven't been on the site much and won't be in the future so I haven't been able to do this. It might be best for someone who frequents the site daily to comprise this list. Apologies.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
