What do the members think??

[stecz20]

we all know some of the drama thats been going on in regards to the site and chris... oso has become a bashfest to serious and sunkin... i will not allow the drama to spill over here, but i want to hear imput from you the members??

some of the old board members here were shut off, how do you the members feel about me allowing them back, not on as board members but back on as reg members. there is no more board here...

i have nothing to hide, never did, never will.....i think letting people come back is a way of getting back to normal... what do you guys think?????

[Davidmnc]

Good question. I don't see a problem inviting people back. A lot of people have not bashed the site. The one's that have, I don’t think they will accept the invitation any way. But grudges build resentment. If we hold grudges and don't offer to allow them to return we are just fueling the fire.

The best way to run a site is with open doors. Otherwise, keeping people banned will keep fueling resentment against the site.


LOL, Looks like David basically said the same thing

[JPD MOTORSPORTS]

the more back here the better.. hopefully just hopefully they will see the site for what it is and can be instead of holding grudges and acting like a 4 yr old throwing a tempertantrum

When We first started this site, We all agreed that everyone got a fresh start.....no old agendas, it served us well...there are several people that I shared drinks and food with that I would like to comeback.

[MacGyver]

Racegirs3 still can't get in......cosmic12 still can't get in.....probably others.....

I say remove all bans and lets all get a fresh start.

[Bobcat]

Mark, cosmic 12 was never banned,he still shows as a founding member.

I think the powers that be are assuming that EVERYONE knows what all the crap was about, and I not only don't know, I don't care.
Maybe the offshore websites should take an example from the racers, and organizers.
If the racers vowed to never race again with people they have bashed or been bashed by........who would be out there.
If a race director vowed to never let a racer return that bashed him.......
Need I say more.
I just know I met some great people in KW last year and now they aren't here anymore.
Move on and get over it, let everyone back that wants to come back....it's not a national disaster.

Well said Pat D.

[dykstra]

do over....

Agreed!

Dave you know how that I feel about OSO and the old ownership and his clique of friends. You and Chris allowed me on this site with a fresh start and I thank you for that. Hopefully we will not have computer rambo's on here who hide behind their computers and run there mouths about things that they know nothing about. I wish you and the whole SOS team the best.

[Magic Medicine]

If they want to come back let them in

[old377guy]

I don't know enough about the issues to comment intelligently. Chris has made a number of posts since the inception that summarized our "code of conduct"; I'd like to see one of those or a synopsis of those posted as a sticky and continue to let everyone weigh in about re-opening the doors. - Jeff

[PARADOX]

I have mixed feelings about this.
First, some of them should have not banned to begun with, however anyone can sign on with a different screen name and still participate. It’s an open site and should remain open. That being said, while I have no problems anyone returning (and some I would like to see back) there are those who are full of hypocrites and I would not welcome and would absolutely not extend an invitation. They want to part take in boating related discussions… fine. The drama has to stay somewhere else. This site is about boating and related activities and topics, not personal agendas and personality issues.

[BY U BOY]

open the gates
