I PUT MY FISH IN THE FREEZER

[David2074]

After giving it a lot of thought I have decided to place my fish in Barrett's freezer and remove my aquariums from my sigs.

I've had fun with my tanks the past couple of years but the past couple of months I've watched dolphin prices rise and simultaneously watched my daily tank earnings and play decrease significantly. The net earnings have decreased enough it is no longer worth (to me) the daily grind of making sure I log in every evening, checking and posting my tanks on dial up internet and so on. For some time I haven't really needed the gold except to buy more dolphins and to help various causes and guilds on Gaia. I was mainly in it for the fun of the tanks. Except it hasn't been fun for me for a while now so I think it is time to take a break.

My sincere thank you to those of you invited my tanks to post, played my tanks and gave me over 62,000 bumps!

My tanks may return in a few weeks or months. It largely depends on the future of booty grab and what adjustments Panagrammic makes to the game and fish.

Please include links to all posts you want removed. In some threads my mules and I are lumped together; in others the posts are quite spread out. I'm on dial up and searching for the posts is really tedious so having links really helps. My apologies for any inconvenience. I stopped accepting invites once I realized I was considering removing my tanks. Accounts affected are:
David2074, Mufid, Mulepup, Nabiki the Mule, Ranma the Mule, and Zog the Mule

If you are forming a new booty grab thread I am still willing to send out qualified invites for you as guild announcements. I won't be posting my own tanks for now (obviously) but I'd still like to see booty grab succeed and wish you well.

Awww! Can't say I'm terribly surprised - my mom and I are keeping our mains since they're pretty well-advertised and bring in a fair amount, but our mules kept dropping lower and lower and now they're really just there to farm for fish drops. Good luck anyway, and it was fun sometimes while it lasted! xD heart

david, after reading that, it made me incredibly sad. I surely understand the frustration though. I do hope things turn around for bootygrab, but we have seen so many changes that i just dont hold out much hope. In agreement with aloysius, who was a dear and helped me get started with her patience in gaia aquariums and all, without the main avi, our mules are not even getting players now with top notch fish. Its sad to see the veterans fold up...very sad. cry

I feel the same way, I only have 2 of my 10 tanks still alive, to much work for just a little bite of gold. I will let my tanks go after the holidays.
People don't bump when u are glowing anymore
I have to bump and grab my own tanks to get the most gold possible
will miss u David from another David me rofl rofl rofl rofl

This is sad but not surprising. Gaia persists is frustrating honest players and tank owners. This is the result. sad  

[Virgo Whiskers]

Can't say I blame you. I couldn't keep up with the hassle of my tank either, so I'm just letting it run its course. Other than my bump thread in my sig, I've stopped doing anything with it. It's sad what's happened to BG.

David is (or at least was) an extremely popular game. I once worked in a workcenter in the Navy where there were five or six David's out of a 24 people. lol!
I know some folks stalk and bump their own tanks but I just dont' have the time. Dial up bites. smile If I do nothing more than log on to my accounts and load my tanks and check my daily tank PMs it takes about an hour.

BBS, I'm not actually letting my fish die. I put them in the freezer so I at least have the option of taking them out at some point in the future.

Pardon the empty group quote but my comments are more or less the same.
Just thanks for the kind words and yeah, maybe I will bring them back in a few weeks or months.  

[Sapphire_God]

Maybe they will bring back the drop rates once they find out that the Elite booty-grabbers like us have stopped playing because we had enough of their crap.~

well this sux crying

Honestly, I'm kinda surprised more people haven't done this yet. BG's future is still a bit too shaky for me to get back to getting a tank.
But if I do, it'll probably be after my huge analyzer update which should be coming relatively soon. :3

Sorry to hear that, but glad you are still going to be around.
I still enjoy aquariums, most of the time. I agree it can be tedious at times. Having to log each account to make sure the tank glows can be a chore sometimes. I've already dropped one mule, and will most likely drop the last one once the Enkis die off.

You know I just recently did the same thing with all 3 of my tanks. I just don't have the time to stalk my tanks right now, and it seems like the amount people who bump a tank they grab is just dwindling. And even a few times k would bump my full gsc and airshark tank for the whole glow and get under 10 players. That tank averages over 4k.... I just didn't get what happened. If I bumped a whole glow I usually always got over 20 plays. And if I caught atleast 4 glows I was doing ok. I just don't see eye to eye with some of the changes and it seems like it's really effected the bg community
