Rank here don't mean sheet. It's just a way to track how much time you spend sharing your wealth of knowledge........................................................................................... or proving your ignorance. The perception is all in the mind of the reader.

It's not the quantity of your posts, its the quality.

Now, now, Spinner, it says a lot about your knowledge. And that is all I am saying cause I am in the same boat you are ... it takes one to know one, I guess! :eek::D:p

In my most humble opinion, if the reason for being here is to embellish oneself with rank and a high post count, then perhaps one in here for the wrong reasons. :(

Re: Achieving Rank or Being Promoted on Iboats

The rank thing is pretty interesting, some of you guys must have I-Boats open 24-7. I am still quite low on the rank pole, but I don't have the time some of you must do. One of these days, like when I go bankrupt, I will have all day to read this site more often.

I think the cadets get intimdated and don't stay with the site, they don't understand the humor and knowledge that exists here.

I-Boats is awesome. I long ago gave up trying to impress anyone with my pin head sized brain.

Re: Achieving Rank or Being Promoted on Iboats

I used to rarely even look in DC.Its a lot more laid back now.I know some of the threads were taking things too far and others were just members making good points and expressing opinions.
We are all here because we like boats and friendship among others with the same interests.
So lets have fun and learn all we can...:D

Re: Achieving Rank or Being Promoted on Iboats

I find it pretty simple to cut through the "who's who". Simple ...SOOO simple.
Click the name...
Check the profile..
Check the date joined....
Check the Daily posts per day..
Check/read some of the dailyposts...
Then check the recent threads....
Braggarts always leave a trail...
Some as transparent as a good looking 20 year old with double D's at a wet shirt contest at the beach...
Some here are to be commended for the years of being a dedicated "wrench", and in the industry..post a reply that someone new REALLY can use, save them a mess of money and headache..(remember..we ALL started out pretty stupid...and what goes around, comes around)..
Others use this as some sort of power trip off a keyboard...Like LF said, Limited Time, and others.
Quality, not quanity...
Jezz, theres enough BS in the world already..and 99% here see right through it like the Wet T contest, and instead of looking like a cool person, look like a "fool" for a person...
Rank is fine, but like any Military service..best deserved...ya can't make the cut, don't join me in the battle...JMHO..
