Sorry bout all the problems with the site recently. We have been seeing an enormous amount of attacks on our firewall. This is causing some database problems. We are working on a solution to fix this at the moment.

What is wrong with the search? the ***boat search on the front page you are referring to right? Let me know

Rexone

Nothing's wrong with it other than it doesn't work beyond the date you last tried to index. As long as you're looking for something within the last month you're good to go. Unfortunately that's not usually the case.
It has not worked on the old threads since the software change.

I have just one question. What planet in the solar system is this forum clock set to? I am on the west coast of the planet earth and I am approx 16 hours off, near as I can figure.

I've been called a "spammer" by somebody not to long ago.. (we won't mention any names here.. LOL) but I'm baffled as to how somebody is going to "spam" via PM?
RD
The flood control for regular messages and PM's are linked, but I will see what I can do about brining the time down from 60 seconds.

You have to set it in your profile but it defaults to GMT or 0+-

I do know ***boat2, and he is right, I am on a trip and he is at my house with my X-wife. But that is only because he is a bum and he has no place to live right now.

That is the guidance set by the ***boat executives. They want the boards to be accesible by people of all ages. So that is the short answer

The expanded answer to no porn pictures is this.
1. Legally we can't have them as this site has no age verification when you sign on.
2. Our web hosting company does not allow porn so unless we pay a whole bunch more money (for the kind of bandwith we do I am talking about probably around $1500 a month) we cannot support a site that has porn.
3. Many people view this site from work on their lunch break (or when they should be working). If we are classified as a porn site that could get some people, including me and ***boat2 in a lot of trouble.
4. I think the common wives tale is that the internet is %70 to %80 porn. That is probably not far from the truth. Put another way if you are looking for porn there are a million websites you can go to. Most of them free. There are not a million boating websites. That said here is some advice. If you want to look at porn go to a porn site. If you want to look or talk about boats come here. If you cannot find a porn site on the internet to look at then mail your computer back to whoever sold it to you as you are too stupid to be using it.

I know the rules I have bin on the board long enough
Sorry my little attempt at humor did not go over very well with you
But this last line you have here give me a break that not very professional

Hey Rex.. We were looking for you at the boat show.. I wanted to buy some stuff from you. But your guy said that he didn’t have anything for sale.. And that ***boat people didn’t get anymore of a discount then anyone else.. If that’s the case.. He should have lied to make me feel special... I didn’t think that was funny..
J/K..
Looking forward to the catalog.
