I became a fan of Serious Offshore's Facebook page, but suddenly the name has changed to Serioulsy Offshore, with the disclaimer "We are not affiliated with the web site Seriousoffshore.com in any way". Even though it has familiar SO founders as admins. What gives? :confused:

I thought it legit with SO founders and the admins. And suddenly Nick is no longer an admin for the page...

And a post that "All three as well as Alec left the board over the weekend..."

I'm not a member on Facebook and I have no access. I seem to remember Ted goofing around with something months back. I really had no interest in it- we already have a social networking site of our own here. Why would we need another?

Probably to attract more potential SO members. If you had no idea, I wonder why the facebook name change then?

I have not been in contact with Nick, Craig or Ted in several days.

Apparently a Facebook page was set up on behalf of the website. Assumably that makes it ours as it has content from months back. Sometime today someone took it over and changed the name. Apparently based on some issue they may have.

I believe in addressing issues directly, not by these oblique, child-like insinuations.

When the fact is being sorted from the innuendo, nothing says class like restraint. :)

Sad to see members with "issues" resort to things like this. I hope everyone can resolve their differences in a respectful manner.

Now the page is gone. But with the mud being thrown around there today, it is a good thing.

I have not heard from the three you are inquiring about. It's my understanding that they want to go in a different direction. I wish them well and thank them for their efforts. They are now and always will be Founding members of this site and welcome here any time.

We have a very full roster of moderators. We have discussed this and we no longer have any special titles. All of our mods are part of our original group of founders. From now on, we'll have "moderators". All equal- as they all were always equal anyway.

You can find those members and their contact information here-
http://www.seriousoffshore.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14130

We also continue to have the same Board of Advisors as before. These are primarily Founders, but we have added a few other individuals who have distinguished themselves here to those ranks. This happened about a year ago.

Chris.
That is a lie. You are lying. I like this place, but do not blow smoke up my ass. Bro I asked for the truth. I expected the truth.
HT

I'm sorry you feel that way. I have not been in contact with them in any way, They were here voluntarily and it's not my place to question their intentions or desires. Nor will I comment on any information I've heard from others.

If you're going to poof everything just erase the thread. "WE" are not entitled to know anything. This is Chris' site and we are on a need to know basis and we don't need to know anything.

I cannot tell you anymore than I know. And I will not share another person's personal business on a public website.

To be clear, you are not entitled to know any other person's personal business unless they wish to share it with you.

This is a public website with free access. If you so desire to, you can use it at no cost to you to share information or discussion with others that enjoy the sport. If people choose to share their personal business on here they're more than welcome. But there's certainly no expectation they do so.

This site was started as a free place for offshore powerboating enthusiasts to hang out. Nothing has changed as it's free , informitive and even some interesting drama thrown it. It's the best deal in town so enjoy!
