In order for ***boat.net to continue, we must get rid of any porn on the site. Since the admin can't monitor the board 24/7, he has assigned some people to help.
They are called "moderators"...but it's important to remember that the members control the content...not the moderators.
Please post responsibly...and don't drink and post.

I am not offended, but some are and unless we clean it out, we lose it.

HH this isn't pointed at you so please don't take offense, but doesn't anyone else find it slightly ironic that a forum funded by a company that made its fortune in porn has their panties in a bunch over some limp wrister's complaint about a little T&A sprinkled into the threads? The web shouldn't be censored folks. I realize HB.net is going to whine about potential lawsuits etc, but seriously this site is pretty damn tame compared to %99 of the rest of the web. I think the moderator thing is a bad idea, and the direction that ***boat is taking towards it's perceived problem is what is driving that mentality. I really don't have anything against the moderators themselves (shit, I've only met 2 or 3 of them in person) but whether they know it or not, ***boat just put them in a clique that is certain to change how they are percieved by the populus of the board.
If ***boat intends to maim and whack the content of the site down to Mr. Rogers in Bayliners, thats their right as they pay for the damn thing, but I don't know what use it will be to have a squeaky clean message board if no one posts on it anymore.

Hell, they could shut it down because they don't like my avatar...it's their peragotive.

Remember the tribal drums? How many people did we boot?
The difference is now is that there is a set of standards to follow, and a couple people to help the admin monitor the boards. The reality is we all monitored the boards before...and nothing has changed.

We are here by choice. We also have other places we can go. If you want porn, go to Barneys...if you want river stuff...go to Jason's...offshore- OSO...jets- banderlog...you get my drift.
If Hot Boat gets the plug pulled, we will all go somewhere else...we will all carry on...the world will not stop spinning.
However, why not try to keep us together while we have a chance?

Whoa!!!
Since when did this become a "family" boating website? That is a crock of shit and anyone who reads this thread or anything in the mag is going to know it. The mag has ALWAYS featured nice models in bikinis spread over nice boats. That's "family" oriented? Come on, if the "family" crowd wants a board, tell em to call "trailer boat" or "Family and Performance boating", so on and so forth. Like I said before, I don't have anything against the moderators personally, but you guys are casting yourselves into some shitty roles. Froggy, I've never met you, but from your posts, I can't really see you getting on board with something that goes contrary to your own likes and preferences. I'll assume you're going to reply along the lines of "I just want to see the board continue to be available as a resource" or something like that, and I can understand that rationale, but don't run a line on anyone here. The mag nor the forum was never a "family" oriented venture, it was/is a business targeted at middle aged men with some disposable income. Nothing opens up the wallet like beautiful women and fast toys. Period.
And as for the lawsuit threat, write a better disclaimer, re-write the site so that you always enter through the main page and have to click an "I agree" button, and all is taken care of. Next you guys are going to try and tell me Google has been sued because some kid doing research for his 5th grade report on Russia accidentally clicked a link to a porn site with "Russians" in the tittle. The whole mentality sucks ass and serves to foster and perpetuate the whole problem.

HH,
All of your points are valid. You wont catch any argument from me on that. I'm just a silly idealist that happens to think if things are changing to something you don' agree with, you say your piece. Ultimately there will be those that leave, some merely out of principal. The only problem I have is that ***boat has NEVER been clear on what is acceptable and what isn't and that's probably because the "owner's" of ***boat are a walking dichotomy of values and principles themselves.
Have fun,
Chris

Hey, this is fine with me. I come here for the nice people. If I want T&A, I go looking for it elsewhere, like HavasuBarney.com (Sorry, couldn't resist) I don't mind the stuff mentioned for sale, though,(as long as it is somewhat boat related) and have bought and sold to members of the board. I think of ***boat as a family boating magazine and website, and wouldn't expect so see anything more graphic here than in the channel at the bridge. :D

Enquiring minds want to know. The Graphic Forum is gone and all my favorites. I know my 4th grade class picture was gross, but I didn't know it was porn. The graphics forum had to be taken off line and cleaned. The software that drives it is about the lamest excuse for a program that I have ever seen, and it will be replaced as soon as I get a chance.
As far as the other issues, I think it has been beaten to death. The concept is simple, this is Hot Boats website, not LFP's. They may be owned by LFP but that does not mean anything. The people who make your little yellow postit notes are also the ones who make the nukes. Anheuser-Busch owns Sea World. No matter how much whining you do it is not going to change anything. If you came here just so you could look at porn then I am sure you will be able to find a replacement forum in no time at all. If you are looking for a boating forum then you have found one.

I for one have always considered Hot Boat magazine a "family" magazine. While its true it's marketing perception may be to the middle aged male with disposable income, I believe it caters to the performance boating enthusiast in general. I have been a subscriber to Hot Boat since January of 1995 and cannot recall ever seeing nudity in any of the issues. Models wearing bikinis? of course. Just as I have seen at every lake or river I have boated on. As has been stated numerous times on this board already, If it would not be in the pages of Hot Boat magazine, it should not be seen on this forum.
I for one, am allright with this decision, and it makes sense to me, as this site is an extension of the magazine. I come to this board for the banter and the amusing content, not for nudity. :)

pleasantcat
12-21-2002, 11:10 AM
ok my .02
i like this forum. it's been a great place to make new friends as well as learn more about performance boating. as far as the pictures go i would have to agree with hb and i will come here as long as i can. i look at this site while at work and nothing is worse than having your boss looking at it with you and a nude pic pop up. in all rights i should be fired but my boss is great that way. some people may not have it that lucky.
as for selling things on here, i'm all for it. i was into street cars for a while and it was great to swap parts with people you know and trust. so if one of us is looking for or looking to sell a boat part. why not sell it here..
we are a boating family of sorts and i'm glad i've met some of the people here. i'm wiser for it,as well as a better boater.
sorry for the long post and now back to ground level :D

Authority generally intervenes.
Anybody remember copper canyon during it's heyday...
Try beaching at the sandbar on a holiday weekend.
So this web site is no longer "run whatcha brung".
If the powers that be say this is the way it has to be,then I guess we abide by they're rules or lose the options we now enjoy...
Pretty simple math,

When was it a family site? WHEN IT WAS STARTED!
I have been here longer than most, I think even longer than jroos (He's been around forever) i could be wrong. My lack of post means nothing but, 1) I feel the quality of the conversation on this board has absolutly gone to CRAP! or 2) I am a lerker.
I used to look foward to this board, couldn't wait to get home to log on and check the boards. Helpfull information, pleasant conversation, now i just could care less about the trivial B.S. that happens here.
I still have hope for this place and am still informed well by the site in general, but could do without alot of the drama.(I get that in my day to day life).

I don't like the drama that much either. But I've learned just to not read it instead of getting pissed and aggravated about it being here. Some people thrive on it and I have no problem letting them if it's in the right forum and not breaking the rules. That's what the sandbar "open topic social lounge" is all about. There are few things that are off topic there (because there is no topic).
There's plenty of useful info on the forum, just don't look for it in the sandbar. That's why myself and the other mods try to keep the tech forums relatively clean of off topic bs and drama.
Now about OOfatso??????????
And where has he been btw??????
:confused:

In order for ***boat.net to continue, we must get rid of any porn on the site. Since the admin can't monitor the board 24/7, he has assigned some people to help.
They are called "moderators"...but it's important to remember that the members control the content...not the moderators.
Please post responsibly...and don't drink and post.

As I recall the story, and I am not 100% sure, but he and his family were out on the lake one day. He had his wife and some friends out for a drive when they heard a commotion and saw that another boat driver had fallen out of his boat.
The boat was still in gear and moving forward at mid-throttle! :sqeyes: With no one on it...........
00Fatso had his friend man the helm of their boat and they pulled up alongside the speeding unmanned boat......they noticed then that it was loaded with nitro glycerin and 6 kegs of nails......(OK I made that part up) and he jumped over to the pilotless vessel, moments before it ran into a shoreside orphanage. (made that part up too). :notam:
He took over the controls and brought the boat back safe and sound to its waterlogged and grateful owner.
His bravery and daring reminded his wife of James Bond, agent 007. So she called him 00fatso, since he is apparently a large fellow. Obviously a courageous large fellow......
That is the story of how 00Fatso got his name................. :coffeycup

... and if the sandbar doesn't provide enough drama for your tastes, slip down to bench racers where death threats are the order of the day.
