Craig Bingman stated that this is largely a beginner's newsgroup. In my
quest for more and more information I was wondering if there are other
newsgroups or forums available that have more advanced content about
marine reefs.

questions that aren't deemed "advance". The line between newbie and expert
doesn't exist, however.

It is largely for beginners, but there are some true experts around.
Throw out your questions, they'll probably get answered.
However, it sounds as if you're interested in studying reefs in
nature. The focus of this newsgroup is more of keeping them in a glass
box. While that does entail a little knowledge about reefs in nature,
it's not the best place for you to look for info if you're not talking
about a captive reef. : )

A good coral zoology book and research journals ... just to name a couple.

As one of the people that was around when rec.aquaria was
reorged to rec.aquaria.*, forming new newsgroups is not a trival
process. Especicially when it comes to *this* newsgroup. This
particular group carries a lot of baggage, primarily from when it
was originally formed.
I highly recommend 'dealing' with the noise and seeking
out what interests you.

p.s.,
I think Erik Olson chronicled the process it took to get
here. If not, Dustin did. Poke around near the FAQ; the info
should be there somewhere. http://faq.thekrib.com/

that are more advanced. But there are
some very knowledgeable people helping
in this newsgroup. You just need to be
patient with the newbies.
And help some of them if you can.

are the aquarium societies in most major

this hobby change their minds from year to year and often
contradict/slam one another. A doctorate in marine biology doesn't
simply make you an expert in the marine aquarium hobby. It's a hobby!
I know a lot about the hobby but have never kept a Lionfish because I
don't like them. For opinions on those, you'll have to seek advice from
a hobbyist who loves and keeps them. Keep the newsgroup the way it is.

Functionally, it works out that way. A number of the more advanced folks
have left the newsgroup, partially because they were being spammed to
death. People also get tired of answering the same old questions, so
some tune out. Some undoubtedly get tired of the personalities.
The newsgroup can be as advanced as anyone wants it to be, I suppose. I
don't have a great deal of perspective on these issues anymore.

everyone gets something new out of it all the time. I can't tell you how

I suppose after that many late nights staring at the tank, filled with
alcohol and aromatic hydrocarbons, these things all start to blend
together. : )
