Lets see your input? What do you want to see more of? What do we need to do to get our members to post more, start threads and share their stuff? Thanks William

I like it. Good content good people and minimal drama. The girls on boats section needs some work. That being said I haven't contributed to it.

I would start by learning to spell "months". :speechless-smiley-0

Thanks I'll fix that. What else can I do to make this site better?

MORE Rogerthat99 PICTURES!!!!! get on it dude!!!! I think Hotboats needs to hire Scotty as their full time photog and let him do what he really loves to do!!!!! (so theres no more excuses for getting the pictures up here....lol)


Oh yea and maybe organize the events reports and photography stuff a little better to make it easier to find..... maybe thats up to the thread starters to figure that out better???? or mods move it as they see fit.

Technically it's 6 months lol.

In that time we've switched hosts twice and are about to go to a dedicated server any day. In hindsight I should have just went dedicated. Live and learn.

We've had a lot of site issues. And are still working on making the site more user friendly. What I've found is people who are not familiar with the boards have a lot of trouble maneuvering around. We need to make this process easier.

We appreciate everyone on the site and promise to do our best to keep the content fresh and up to date.

We're still only 6 months old, but we're growing up fast. So we appreciate your patience.

And we're absolutely open to all suggestions. So please fire away!

Thank you,

HB

RT99 is doing it for others. Maybe I should pressure him. Nope that's not my style.

Maybe some write ups on the events, and not just pictures. A story will also get you further along with Google.

Just thought of something....
What about a "General Tech" section where general technical questions can be asked that do not pertain to any types of boat.
For example, I have posted tech questions in "The Sandbar" that pertain to batteries and battery bars that could easily go in a general tech sections.
Like I said, just a though, I could always keep posting questions in the sandbar section.

Happy Friday!

Is Hot Boat also sponsoring the Catalina Wine Mixer?


I think the West Coast Section needs another sub-section for upper river (Needles, Mohave Valley, Willow Valley, BHC & Laughlin)

You should really get either the apple or samsung. Those phones are so cheap now with 2yr agreements. I was just looking on sprints site, galaxy4 $149, Iphone5 $99, and if you're ok with an older iphone4 or 4s or galaxy 3 those are $0, just pay the $36 activation fee and monthly smartphone fee. Its really worth the investment, and you'll love the tapatalk app, which is a one time, $2.99 fee to install.
