We keep it drama free there as well.

It was never my intent to make this a "let's bash RD thread", it was my intent to quash the BS statement he posted on PB. Based on ole RS's sign up date and user number, I think I successfully proved my point. The facts pretty much speak for them-self. How can he make a November 1 launch claim when he in fact signed up on October 18? Lol

And the other ludicrous claim that we opened accounts to "spam" his site with Hotboat.com propaganda? Another empty and baseless claim.

Time to close this one up. Point proven. 😋

So the website wasn't active prior to Nov 1 or was Nov 1 simply the scheduled launch/tell everyone about it date?

We actually were shooting for November after missing October and possibly September LOL. My web guy got it up and running early and kinda forgot to tell me LOL. So at least 32 people signed up before me. But yes, it was actually up and running in early October.

If you want to let your laundry dry on the line a little longer I understand but you should probably lock the side gate so no more neighbors cruise by to do the same.

Thanks, just curious. Not sure when I signed up but seems like pretty early in Nov..

I never had a clue you were brown until you bring it up, which in my book is a completely unnecessary trump card to carry.jmho

Grads' banning(who knows which one of the dozens truthfully) IMO was him consistently pushing the envelope. Justified, probably. Sadly, I think he has some great input and content when he wants but for whatever reason he seemed to always loose it if someone disagreed with him.

I've been around these boat forums since 2003ish, I'm not a avid race fan or tech whiz for boats but I do enjoy the lifestyle it provides me and my family. My presence on all of them is more geared at the social aspect of it, enjoying time together with similarly minded people at the lake and/or other events and trips.
Whether a prop turns left or right, hull has 2 steps, yada, yada, yada isn't as important to me, although getting needed info when you do have an issue is obtainable on any of the forums. That part of it can be helpful. I've seen fantastic personal help go to those in need from complete strangers on these sites.....so to see bickering between folks from what I view as a common denominator with different IP addresses is disheartening.

A couple board members I've met in person shortly after my ban made comments that one of the Mods was racist. I'm pretty sure it's bullshit tho... I don't really care about that kinda stuff anyways... I get that shit all the time from friends. Hell my buddy told me the other day I should name my boat "Affirmative Action". lol!

I agree, the forums has been a great way to help, receive help (in even non-boating related things) and meet some pretty cool people.
