Are we trying to wean ourselves off of OffShoreonly? :leaving:

Should we continue to post on both? Or, are the "founders" of this site asking all members to stay off of OffShoreonly?

I will happily drink the "kool aid" here, but I don't want this site to turn into another Boatfreaks. :(

What do we do now? :lurk5:

no one is asking you to stay off of any sites,we all still go back & forth,this is just a viable alternative to slow responses to problems on other sites. please feel free to make suggestions to make this site better,it is all of ours to enjoy(and we got stecz)

I don't think anyone is asking anyone to stay off the other site, I still go there. What this turns into is up to you. The Charter members are here by invitation and your opions and ideas are needed, you have the power to make it a great place to be and where you want to be.

The founders have been beating the crap out of the system for a week looking for issues in the system. Once all the bug ( we hope) were caught and worked out, we got the official okie dokie to start invinting our "special" friends.

Stecz doesn't have any friends so he will be inviting bums of the steet or who ever else will even listen to him.:rofl:

Clay, the choice is yours.
As the brains behind this new venture has pointed out to the rest of us founders, this site is not meant as "competition" to OSO. This site is meant as a new place we can call our own. No MEGA com site owner. No corporate azzkissing. No friggin GOOGLE crap. No BS. Just a boating site run by boaters for boaters.

I still visit several boating sites although I have a new home base right here at Serious.

If you have any questions or suggestions, use the forum info section. I guarantee you will not wait 3 weeks or longer for a BS answer unlike some other forementioned boating site.

Boatfreaks got real busy for a while, then it died down. I don't want to be posting on three (or more) sites. I just want to be an active member on the one boating site that has a real future. Is this it? :seeya:

Stecz is the king. Of what, no one is really sure. You might have to ask him. I have no doubt he will take up hours of your valuable time explaining it to you.:ack2:

I am not sure that I will have a need for OSO anymore... once my friends are over here.
I have still been going over there during the testing phase of SOS.

I'm thinking about the same thing.
I imagine in very short time, there won't be much need.

I think you'll see that this is going to be the place to be. Chris has assembled a great team to help manage this site. One thing we've all agreed on is to be diplomatic , give great customer service and innovative. This is just the beginning! Welcome All!

We're all friends & family- we should treat each other that way.

Plus, this, from the rules...



Group Moderation - Founder and Charter members are all afforded the right and responsibility to point out inappropriate activity in any forum. If one of these members sees activity contrary to the site rules or the spirit of SO, they are expected to make a friendly suggestion to the poster to remove or modify the offending post or material. If we as a group keep our own house clean, the moderators can focus their efforts towards helping members and making this a better place for all.



Part of the deal- you want a nice place? You want the honor and bragging rights of being a Charter? You have to carry the water too.
