Re: [Killietalk] AKA Roster

Actually Cosmin, the IBC is not down in membership but up by a very small amount. On 7/1/08 they have 693 members. I don't feel like digging back into the records but 3 years ago when we began to go electronic we had approximately 650 to 675 members. As you mention, due to the economy and the general down turn in the pets industry, I am amazed we have shown a gain.

 
Thanks......Scotty

I am more inclined to blame that IBC membership drop to a general decline in the interest people have for fancy bettas. I belonged to many betta groups on MSN, Yahoo, and Delphi. They are now very stagnant and nothing really happens there. It's been a while I heard someone setting up a betta barrack. Yes there are the hardcore breeders that will always breed, but the crowd of week-end breeders has slimmed.

cheers,
Cosmin
