Why would anyone come to www.hotboat.com to learn about how California is overtaxing its residents??

Here's your opportunity MMD to convince me.

I've also noticed that 90% of the people who post in the PRF of other forums are not even boaters.

No matter what the subject if something breaks big in the News it can make interesting posts.As far as a political section,mostly worthless and history repeating itself.Go with your instincts Vic.

I don't need to convince you. You need to figure this out for yourself. Here are some things you could consider:

* Is your site focused exclusively on boating and nothing else? If so, then you'll want to tell everyone they need to post topics in the Sandbar that are only about boating.
* Is your site is organized where the Sandbar is the forum all kinds of subjects are discussed?
* Do you want the Sandbar to be the forum for most every subject EXCEPT politics?
* If your site is one that welcomes people who are into the river, lakes, offshore and boating on them and you want people to come together and get to know each other better then topics other than boating will be discussed unless you don't want/allow that.
* If your site is a forum for people into boating are welcomed then you should expect all kinds of subjects to be brought up and discussed (just look at the boating sites you used to (or still) go to and you'll see that). If you want this site to not involve non-boating topics then say it.

If the site owners only want boat owners to participate in the website then they should say that. It's exhausting and inconsiderate when boat owners start talking shit about non-boat owners. Plenty of people into boating own boats, used to own boats, own lake lice, want to own boats, etc. If you want the site to be only for boat owners just say so. Otherwise I suggest this anti-non-boat owner shit be frowned upon.

The Political Sections keeps all the inevitable political talk from stinking up the rest of the site!! That's how it benefits a boating website.
