I have been away for a little while, seems I used to see a lot of people posting on ***boats throughout the day especially at night however it seems maybe not as much now, is it my imagination? Did everyone leave and go somewhere else? I did not get the memo :confused:

myself included.

When they shut down the site for the makeover it was down for too long. JMO. People went to other sites.
I hope that they start to filter there way back. This was a kick @ss web site 1 year ago.
Stick around, post, and help bring it back to what it was! :)

Bullshit. Most of the people who posted were banned. Most for no particular reason. My wife posted a banner on her signature for RiverDavesPlace and was banned. No warning, no vacation. Just banned. Happened to probably 40-50 people that day alone. That put a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths. I only come on here now to check my ad for the boat.
It will never be what it was. The new owners don't want it to be what it was. They want a boring site and that's what they've got. I would never ask a technical question here because there are only about 10 people on here all day. I'd rather go on a site where I have the opportunity for hundreds of people to see my question and give me a possible solution. Take, for example, Mike K's thread about the electricity leak. Posted 2 days ago. 2 people have responded in 2 days. Boy! Hope it's not an emergency!

Ok now I am a member of that one now too, always liked those avitars of hers :D . Wow ***boats really screwed up this one. I wonder how many subscriptions they lost from all the members hitting the road, not a good marketing decision..... As far as this site, I am not sure it will ever be back again either. I guess I will hang out until they ban me too :(
Don't supose there is a link that says who is who now over on the other sites. I had some real good help from people such as Malcolm, Roz and a many others.

Moderator I appreciate your sincerity and I can only speak for myself here, but it seems to me that it is too little, too late.... they are all gone.

I can only do my best to make this site fun for those who decided to stay, as well as the new peeps coming on. I am not associated with the magazine and I am not here to beg others to come back.
I am merely here to try and help out and move the site forward in a positive direction.
Mark and Mel, I hope you guys decide to stay.

Hi all I'm still here. Always been here. Not sure how I wasn't banned every as my name, HDF stands for Havasu Dougs Forums. Just plain Waterdog was taken by somebody long ago. I'm also at RiverDaves and PB as well as about 10 others. All the forums are different but yet the same in many ways. We all have a common interest in boating and boating related topics. HB got pretty wild on off topic. Certainly lots of nasty comments on almost all threads. Personnaly I thought somes threads were just sick so I choose not to read them. I also believe that it should be my choice to read them or not. I'm not sure I would have done things the way the new owner did but I am sure it's his to do with as he pleases. Right or wrong he has to live with it. As for me, I wish HB all the best.

The only downside I see here is that now I have to check three forums instead of two. Just jets is better than the perf boats jet forum, and this forum is better with the tech stuff. The Perf boats forum is a bit whiny and has all the drama queens bitching because their hair stiffener doesn't perform while justifying an online-only format....
So, never banned, just looking for info on boats, and looking to meet folks into boats.

I will hang out and see how things go here also, but I will now be on 3 boards like others have mentioned..... just can't believe this all happened, Its like someone declared war or something, just friken unbelievable were all adults here, and it's just friken unbelievable.
Well no sense kicking a dead horse so I am off my rant now. I wish they had that smiley kicking the dead horse on this site i would use it, that smiley is fricken hilarious.

Well I'm new here so it grew by at least one member. It sounds like I missed a lot of past drama but that's OK, that's not what I'm into. If I wanted to argue all the time I'd get married. I also like speedwake and being a Donzi fanatic donzi.net is my favorite. OSO is a little too big and a lot of ugliness. I wish this site well and Hot Boat magazine too. I will continue to subscribe.
edit: My join date was in '05 but for some reason I never came back or posted until a couple of months ago. Not sure how that happened!!
