I've had quite a few people come buy the shop and tell me that the boards aren't what they used to be. They are really funny but not as imformative as they used to be. They feel if they come on with a question that to them would be a serious one that they will be made fun of for being STUPID (Jim Anderson). Though I think there is a time and place for a good laugh (BBSP) these guys really could use a little professional help at times, so give them a chance before they give up. Just my .02 :cool:

There's "J_ st" to much BS going on here when it comes down to how "ONE" word is spelled. So..... let me Edjumacate ya again....
jest n. 1. A playful or amusing act; a prank. See Synonyms at joke. 2. A frolicsome or frivolous mood: spoken in jest. 3. An object of ridicule; a laughingstock. 4. A witty remark. v. jest·ed, jest·ing, jests. v. –intr. 1. To act or speak playfully. 2. To make witty remarks. 3. To utter scoffs; gibe. v. –tr. To make fun of; ridicule. –jesting·ly adv.
Yup..... Your right, Sangster is to Jest as Guru is to Turd, as Smalls is to Gottcha, as BBT is to Ya's, as SSMIKE is to BOATLESS, as 1st Timer is to Billie B., as K-Flat is to Velosity Stacks, as v-drive video is to FUGI Film, as LVJETBOY is to BS, as HUD is to Naked women, as Morg is to the Garage, as as Flyte Risk is to Coors Lite ect. ect. ect...... as posting ONLY in the morning (right) is to Billy B......Let the games begin ;).... JEST remember , the Winter playing field may at times get a little Ruff, Rutty, Knutty, Soggy... So "PLAYER BEWARE".... In trying to keep it Short here...."The Game is a Foot".......:cool: :D :cool: :D :D and MOST of all...don't use words that other people use......:rolleyes:

I hear ya Billy. It ws really hard when I was the Mod to keep this place on track.
I also feel that when Hot Boat started deleting somesone's posts (with out me knowing) who felt he was getting screwed just ruined all the creditability of this place. Hey, if someone gets screwed I think he should be abole to tell others so it won't happen to them next.
You know, it's not only this forum, the entier site has taken the turn for the worse if you ask me.
Now I'm the first one to say if ya don't like it start your own site. Well that's just what we are doing. It's almost done.
But if someone want's to go to a GREAT v drive site they should check out AZ Don & N!ck's site. They built the BEST v drive site on the web so everyone should check it out and use it.
www.v-driveboat.com
That site does not have all the crap that goes on here and I don't think they would put up with it. It has some people who really know their shit that are more then happy to share and help others.
George @ Finishline posts over there and Gofastracer has always been Riverracer over there. There are others like JJ Beaver also.
Billy, you should go over there and check it out but please leave Jim here ok. :)

I'm gonna prep and paint my 21 this winter and needs LOTS of advice. I figure you're the man to go to. Also do you have any extra supplies taking up floor space in the shop you want get rid of? Like maybe a bunch of sandpaper, tape, masking paper and some leftover pearl and some white Imron or = and maybe a quart of clear. Oh yeah, if I bring it by the shop will you help grind all the chitty spots out of the glass so I get it right the first time?
Thanks in advance! You Da Man BillY!:D :D :D

Superdave, you are sure making a lot of assumptions here. Just because someone whines on the internet doesn't mean he got skrewed, it frequently means he can't accept the consequenses of his own actions. Cruising thru threads on any site can produce an immature crybaby. And a lot of people seem to make things up. Gee, that seems to be the nature of the internet.

There can be lots of useful information here. There is also lots of joking. Maybe there should be a v-drive tech forum and a regular bs one. Personally I think its KNUTTS that there is so much crap in here.
AZDon does have a killer site. Nick did a hell of a good job!

Point very well taken.
And yes, small things can get blown way out of proportion. The lynch mob mentality can take over real quick.
But not every case is like that and people should be able to speak their mind.
Also people should be able to respond to it.
But I don't want to get into all of that as we all know the good and bad of internet messageboards
.
The main point of my post was to give out a site for V Drives that does not have all the fakes and all the gibberish (yet) where a person would feel comfortable to ask for help or advice.

If you guys want all the bs not in vdrives I can easily make that happen. We have a bs forum called bench racers already designed just for this. What I've been trying to avoid is the feeling of a gestapo atmosphere in vdrives that becomes "not fun". We can tighten it up to strictly tech only if that's what you guys feel is best. I have no problem managing it at that level. You can PM me with comments if you like or post them either way. I'll review this thread tonight again.

Rexone, I agree whole heartedly and I'm sure your ultimate discision in this matter will be graciously accepted by all.....But, Theres only so much that can be Technically discussed during the Off Season..During the summer there seams to be plenty of Related material to go around..We can Stare at all the Wild V-drive pics Hud posted, but after a couple straight of weeks that, it will lose its luster also....Only so much can be said about a set of gears...Occasionally, someone posts a pics of their recently reupholstered boat seat, a few oohhs & ahhhhs and thats over...I guess what I'm tring to say is Winter Sucks Ya'll......And alittle Humor is always a good thing...Please consider the Humerous side of life while contemplating this matter...And have a couple Cold Ones also...It's good for the thought process..:cool: :cool: P.S....If this is all about the J. Anderson thread, maybe His post should be in the bench racers forum till more than a pic of a boat that may well be someone else's is posted or it shows up somewhere ready to run......:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I gotta agree with sangster on this one.
It's the off season. There has to be some kind of middle ground.
Rex has moved some threads already. I think he's doing a great job with what he moves and what he lets ride.

It looks like the site is getting to be a little commercialized. Instead off giving advice when someone asked or talking about boat's and v-drives , people are selling something. Mike you never had those items at the bottom of your post before.

11-18-2003, 04:56 PM
I forgot to mention, I'm sure I have asked some stupid questions to. Anderson's is a little off the wall. Maybe he put it out there to see how we would react, and maybe he needed some help. There are people here at LOTO that don't even know what a v-drive is.

11-18-2003, 06:35 PM
This thread wasn't intended to move this section to the bench racers. For those that don't know me i'm not an instagator or anything like that. All's I was saying is to give a guy an honest answer or at least feel him out ( Don't get excited Larry NEEB) for a bit before you jump his SHIT. Poor Jim Anderson probably walked away serveral times wondering what the hell happened to this FRIENDLY Forum. Now that we have seen his ride we can pretty much say he was legit. Have a nice evening, this sermon is over :D .........
P.S.....Superdave. The reason i'm on tonite is to see if you have come out of the closet as ?????????

Well, I ws told that I could put what ever I wanted in my sig as long as it's not porn. So if it's ok for me it's ok for you. That means it's ok for Rexone also. I think he's given and still gives more (and better) advice then most. Come on now, you gotta agree with that.

You notice I don't ask anything in here about my slow ass V Drive, way to much joking around! When you want to know about something it shouldn't take an hour to go through all the crap to get pissed off!
I go to a v-drive forum, way better! To many people, too high on that pedastal here for me! I just read and try shit out myself, this is from the other board mind you!In here, if you can go through all the shit....there is information......sometimes

11-18-2003, 07:13 PM
Here's my take. I think anyone who has ever asked for information or help with his boat on this forum has gotten it. No matter how slow your boat is. A few jumped in on "The Anderson" threads and maybe got a little carried away. And maybe they didn't. But many tried to help and give the guy the benefit of the doubt.
Dave sells parts. So does Rex. Big deal. Either will bend over backwards to help you. What's wrong with that?
The forum ain't broke. Just some guys having a little fun, some getting carried away. Most guys that get smart ass answers on questions posted is there own fault. Like 150 mph. Rex is handling it.

I look at the forums as an info source and a way to meet people. I think the BS will pass eventually. Those of us that have a real winter, boat very differently. We also do not have any local suppliers or mentors. We don't have time to mess around. We ask questions in the winter and test like MOFO's in the summer. I don't care if the racer's BS, I just want the totally NUTTS s*** to not get in the way of a good resource. Not everyone lives in California or Arizona; I just want to be able to talk to them seriously, once in awhile. The rest of the time joke away.

Pull up the v-drive forum and look at all the topics of the threads. There is only two threads that has to do with the tech aspect of a v-drive and its the "prop hole leak" and "paint" This section has turned into the bullshiting forum.Damn flatbottom guys ****in up again.:D
I guess you guys are all so knowledgable that you dont have to ask eachother for advice, you can spend all your time making up bogus names and trying to guess who eachother are.

Give it up , in the jet boat board ( where you belong ) if you crack a smile there anymore they delete it instantly. It gonna be a long cold winter on the Squirtboat boards. You can always come to the v-drive outings this winter if you need a day out with fast boats and be able to smile while your there

Hey Rusty, I very frequently post here so chill out, the only reason I posted on this thread is because I have been thinking the same thing as others have."What happened to this forum? its just all bench racing now." The bottom line is most people come to a forum like this to ask tech questions and to read and learn about ***boats, not read your bullshit gossip with your bogus names.BTW, go visit the jet forum, its much better now, its all tech shit, and people are actually learning and getting shit done, no posts are being deleted.We also have other boards where most of the pros post and there are some really good threads going on over there.
Thanks for the invite to a v-drive gathering Rustnutts, but ive been told numerous times that jets aernt allowed even if they are equipped with 800 horse and race lay-ups.I guess people still think we are going to be be towing intertubes and shit with high dollar boats and motors while chewing up the water.Im personally not interested in supporting an event like that.

Rexone
11-18-2003, 10:47 PM
Ok here's my decision based on reading and digesting all the serious posts and messages only. For the most part (there are exceptions to everything), you guys seem to be happy with the bs level that exists. Some complain a bit and then as soon as I threaten to tighten up, they backpeddle a bit, probably afraid that laughing will become a crime in the vdrive forum. That in itself tells me we're not too far off target where we're at currently. My opinion is that if no ones laughing, no one will be here anyway to read the stuff the two guys that are left here post. That's just marketing 101, no big revalation there.
Some don't like the aliases, some do. A couple would like to see a strict environment where anyone that cracked a smile was banned for life and would lose their citizenship and boat ownership rights as well. A couple would like a total Knutt farm. That's life and neither is going to happen. So I'll probably make some "minor" adjustments as we move forward. The obvious alias based or hijacked threads will likey find there way over to bench racers even if they started out as legit threads and were turned bad. If that becomes a major problem occurring with regularity then I'll remove the offending aliases from the forum. For the most part if the Knutts don't screw with the guys that want legit info and don't try to dominate forum content I will be reasonable in return. If they don't show restraint they will become peaknuttbutter.
btw I have a "pretty good idea" of who everyone is here contrary to what they may think. One Knutt down could be like a dominoe effect traveling way beyond the knutt cousins if you catch my drift. Also, if I didn't have a pretty good idea that those being screwed with deserved it I would likely not allow it to continue. If you can kick, be also prepared to receive. Enough said on that.
Thunderbutt, as far as the commercialization, many do it and there are no forum rules against it as long as it's not some big banner in your face. And yes my website addresses have been in my signature since the beginning of time. I recently added some new product links there. Those who aren't interested aren't forced to click just like no one is forced to read threads they don't like. And btw I do pay for the banners I run on the ***boat site and none of the moderators are paid a cent. Just answering that obvious follow up before the question is asked.
And, I will take issue with the part of your comment about selling something "instead" of giving advice, you go review my last 200 posts and then we'll talk about the selling/giving advice ratio. And btw to my knowledge being a member here does not "require" anyone ever give one ounce of advice. I do it because I enjoy doing so. Not trying to give you a hard time, just tellin it like it is.
Screw Loose, you've been posting here longer than your 1st timer image would lead folks to believe I reckon. :wink: you seem kind of knutty too at times. be careful not to fall off your perch and soil your cage, might get rusty and spoil your future flytes. ;)
And finally Billy. oh hell nevermind.. :rolleyes:
>>>edit add on>>> btw, An on topic post in vdrive should contain something pertaining to vdrive boat tech, vdrive event, vdrive beat your ass, you're vdrive got smoked by a jet :eek: , you dreamt about graduating up to a vdrive, just something vdrive related. Otherwise there are other forums here it should be posted in.

11-19-2003, 12:04 AM
The v-drive forum does have a different flavor than jets. I learned that long ago. But I wouldn't say getting worse end-of-the-world cats and dogs sleeping together type of thing. Or better. Just more of the same. Stay with me here...
I think each forum takes a mindset based on size and the stronger personalities posting. In the v-drive forum there's those who post tech and those who mostly joke. Some do both. But the overall mindset of the informal leaders is be cool no matter. Don't talk the talk just walk the walk...etc. That mindset doesn't encourage tech question and answer. The group being small makes for stronger social ties, people watching each others backs, etc and more of a social flavor. No big deal.
In the jet forum some tech some joke but mostly a larger group of guys with less social ties. Many new to the hobby asking questions and others trying to answer them. A bigger group and not as much try to be cool mentality. Although like every forum there's elements of each and changes in ebb and flow depending on who's posting. Again no big deal.
In the end I think the less "moderating" the better. Boards change with the flow. If people want more tech or more social, well, it's up to those who post to lead that way.
Most know what I think about fake id posters, that doesn't mean I want them moderated or censored. I say what I think and they can do what they want. In the end, threads people are interested in take off and those not die.

Screw Loose, you've been posting here longer than your 1st timer image would lead folks to believe I reckon. you seem kind of knutty too at times. be careful not to fall off your perch and soil your cage, might get rusty and spoil your future flytes.
Thats hitting below the belt, I have been laying low, lurken you might say and now ya's try to implicate me in a "Guilty by Association" style post. DANG

Thunderbutt, as far as the commercialization, many do it and there are no forum rules against it as long as it's not some big banner in your face. And yes my website addresses have been in my signature since the beginning of time. I recently added some new product links there. Those who aren't interested aren't forced to click just like no one is forced to read threads they don't like. And btw I do pay for the banners I run on the ***boat site and none of the moderators are paid a cent. Just answering that obvious follow up before the question is asked.
And, I will take issue with the part of your comment about selling something "instead" of giving advice, you go review my last 200 posts and then we'll talk about the selling/giving advice ratio. And btw to my knowledge being a member here does not "require" anyone ever give one ounce of advice. I do it because I enjoy doing so. Not trying to give you a hard time, just tellin it like it is.
Mike;
My comment was not meant to slap Rex Marine. I just thought it odd that you would start to place sale items. As far as me saying you wanted to sell something "instead" of giving advice you took that out of context. I know you give advice as needed. I'm sure Rex Marine benefits from you being on the board,and I'm not trying to give you a hard time either,just telling it like it is

You should do well with this I think h29. Sounds like a stout piece. I think billy can handle all the conversion items you mentioned. he seems able to convert himself to wear just about any hat necessary lately. ;) good luck with your project, see ya in the winners circle.
ps if you're gonna run just the 409 I'd run an extra large blower to compensate for the lack of ci. just a tip.

I don't think that Billy B is real. It's just another alias of v-drive video and all of those boat paint jobs where done with Photoshop. :p
