Firstly, a quick update on how it works....
Fragging usually starts around 8pm, so before then make sure you have visited the little boys room, put your fish to bed, secured a chilled six pack and secured a good supply of munchies. Whilst we try to wind it up by 11pm, it has been known to go on past midnight!
On this thread, we will post the pictures of the corals that are up for fragging, a few at a time, with an idea of how many frags are available and maybe a price. You'll have a few minutes to reply to the thread if you want a piece. If it gets fragged I will reply to the thread with who has acquired a piece. It's strictly first-come-first-served, so don't hesitate too long!
A coral won't get fragged unless there are enough people to make it a reasonable price but on the other hand, the growth forms of some corals either just don't frag in to decent pieces or are best if only done in less pieces. If there are no takers for a coral in the shop, feel free to discuss amongst yourselves and if enough takers then it can still be fragged.
Please try to keep the thread un-cluttered with no un-necessary posts, it'll get very long and can become very difficult for us to keep up with whats going on.
Also, please try to go easy on the F5/refresh button, it can kill the bandwidth and ends up making the uploading of images very difficult. Instead, we have setup a chatroom for you online guys to make use of, I'll post a message everytime I update some corals and hopefully you'll feel more involved. Remember the chatroom is for CHATTING NOT LURKING

It is unlikely that any PM's sent/received will get acknowledged on the night, it's just too busy, use the chatroom above.
Prices, it's not always possible to give accurate prices beforehand, typically a colony is £40 to £50, and we try to frag it so that the frags work out around £8 to £12. Much more than that and we will confirm with you beforehand.
Since the last frag night, Jason has started using some 'Folders' software that enables you to build up a list of corals, bit like a shopping cart. Any frags you bag will be added to your 'Folder' on the forum so you can see what you've got at anytime. To see the contents of your 'Folder' click on the 'My Folder' link near the top of the page.
It's unlikely we'll be able to post any pictures of your individual frags on the night, it's just too hectic. But, there'll be plenty of action photos taken that will be posted up for you to amuse yourselfs with.
At the end of the evening your frags will get mounted up onto bases of rock and milliput or just milliput. Your 'Folders' should be kept up to date as we go, so you know exactly how much you owe. Jason would really appreciate it if you could settle up as soon as you can so he can get them shipped out to make space. A fragged coral takes up four or fives times as much space as the original colony, and lack of space means he has to hold back on deliveries of new stock.
Caveat!
Unfortunately, Photobucket seem to be having major technical problems with an aspect of their service that the folders software relies upon, this means that we have had to use an alternative solution which is largely unproven so please bear with us if there are any technical issues.
Tick tock tick tock frag time is nearly here!
