Gentlemen,
In response to the divisive views expressed in regards to the issue of vulgarity in the Jet Performance forum, and given my finite capacity as a sole individual to monitor the abundance of posts appearing on these boards, I have elected to split the Jet Performaance forum into two.
1) The new “Jet Tech” forum will be solely dedicated to the discussion of mechanical tips and tricks, which has always been the core purpose of the original “Jet Performance” forum. Vulgar and/or hostile language will not be tolerated here.
2) The “Jet Talk” forum will be a status-quo continuation of the “Jet Performance” forum, with all that it entails.
I hope that this new arrangement will at least partially satisfy the diverse concerns of everyone.
Sincerely,
- Erik Anderson
Hot Boat Online Webmaster

Curious as to how you will monitor this because often times threads begin as "tech" but end up something totally different (talking smack or whatever). I am with Froggy too, dang smiley gets me quite a bit. http://free.***boat.net/ubb/smile.gif

Great job Hot Boat. I think this will make (most) everyone happy!
Now can us v-drivers get 2 forums? We've got the tech one now. We need one to talk da smack!

Thanks for your support, guys!
Froggy: The two-year anniversary of the Forums is coming up soon, and I want to upgrade our software by then. This means entirely new "smiley" graphics, avatars, as well as a better default settings.
HD: Deviation in subject-matter will be tolerated within reason, but the minute that things "get ugly," topics will be locked and repeat offenders will get whacked!

Hi Eric,
I appreciate your effort to keep us unruly jetter in line, but I'd like to suggest a different approach. I think two jet forums is confusing and dilutes the knowlege pool and energy of the original jet forum.
As on the "other" jet board, there's a burn barrel forum where threads are sent if they get too...hot. I believe the brain child of Jim Lee.
Placing flame threads in the barrel keeps the key forum focused, while not censoring our freedom of expression...and tends to discourage flaming.
I think HavasuDreamin' has a good point. Flame threads can start in any forum, not just Jet Performance. With a flame pit, you can just move a too hot thread there to let it die. Instead of having a "Jet Talk" forum with uncertain purpose at best. To me, one jet forum and a flame pit for flame threads from ALL forums is a much cleaner solution.

Hopefully this solution will work. I praise HOT BOAT for trying to make things work for everybody without stomping on the others.

You want us to converse about mechanical stuff and keep it clean? Gees, that's hard to do.. as one of the world's worst backyard mechanics I tend to rate my vehicle/boat repairs by how many cuss words come out of my mouth per 1/2 hour..An oil/filter change on my boat is good for about 10-11 at least..
but you're the boss here so I'll keep it clean on the new board..sure wouldn't want some other user to turn me in for bad language...

I think the "jet boat forms" are great and very informative to read and learn. There are a bunch of great guys helping each other out with problems and performance tips and I just want to say thanks to all.

The control button is on or is locked on. Possably you might see "CTRL" over by the clock in the lower corner, if you have a three button mouse click the middle button. Maybe this will work for you.
