Another Boating Forum

[ebsworj]

Check out boatingABC's forum if you haven't allready. Its got a slightly different feel.<br /><br /> boatingabc.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi <br /><br />JB - can i not post a link to another boating forum? I am not selling anything nor do i have any affiliation with either forum. Freedom of speech man!<br /><br />EDIT: No, you can't. That is a commercial site in competition with iboats. Have you no manners?<br /><br />It is rude even to post the referral.

Re: Another Boating Forum

Freedom of speech is not the issue. Respect and common courtesy are what come to mind.

Re: Another Boating Forum

And my little thread about a big post gets locked . . . <br /><br />Kidding JB, couldn't help it . . . <br /><br />But then again, you let a little thread about a little thread about a big post stay, so . . . RF said weiner. RF said weiner.

NO, no, you got it wrong...he said "winner" it was a typo...

Re: Another Boating Forum

Oh man this is getting funny... lets back up.<br /><br />I added that freedom of speech comment after JB disabled my link and made it look like a typo with no explanation.<br /><br />All i was doing was posting a link to another great boating resource. I'm not trying to convert anyone. I visit both forums everday and gain knowledge about boats, that's what this post was for. <br /><br />THUNDERROAD - How did respect and common courtesy come into this? Don't get so serious on this forum. Don't click on the link if you don't want to.<br /><br />Sorry for this rebuttle but I was just trying to post a helpful link. Get over it.

Re: Another Boating Forum

ebs, my "weiner" comment was meant as tongue-in-cheek. As evidenced by the use of the word weiner. I must have forgot to put a smiley after it. I like pictures too!

Oops, double post.

Re: Another Boating Forum

I waste too dang much time on just this one. If I went there too, I'd never get anything done. <br /><br />Don't feel bad. A link to an industry site I put up got bumped. They weren't competitors, either. Rather, a pro-boating-industry site not selling anything except "boating". They're even giving stuff away.

Re: Another Boating Forum

I actually found that site first...I now do both.

Re: Another Boating Forum

I visit 4 forums on a regular basis. This one was most handy when working on my old evinrude, and now my MerCruiser inboard. The other one is boat brand specific. The other two cover a broader range of boating subjects. I constantly refer people to this forum, from the general boating forums, when they ask engine/motor specifics. I think every forum fills a specific niche.

Re: Another Boating Forum

Bondo, Thats gotta make you feel good that you only took two thumpings on the other forum in the past year. I've read at least dozen posts here on Iboats that thumped you pretty good.(Last Month..lol) Bayliners and all...<br /><br />Headed back to Maine next week to help finish out a 42' Wayne Beal hull. I'll drop you a post card.

Just have a Cold Moxie,+ a Drake's Funny Bone for me............<br /><br />I'm debating whether to run up to Old Town for the annual Scratch & Dent Old Town Canoe,+ Kayak Sale,......... <br />It's usually in early to mid April............<br /><br />I'm down to only a couple of cans of Moxie,+ 1 box of Funny Bones.............<br />I'm going to Have to make a run Soon,............. Withdrawls ya know...........

Re: Another Boating Forum

Ebsworj,<br />I fell the same way you do.it seems like if you don't have the same boat and equipment as the "powers" that be, or the regular posters here<br />you are not a real boater.heaven forbid you should have a differing opion.<br />ken

Re: Another Boating Forum

There really are other boat sites? Or are you pulling my leg?

 

[Mark42]

Re: Another Boating Forum

LOL! at realgun. <br /><br />Yeah, there are other sites, but I prefer this one. Sometimes I post on other forums, but I like the PEOPLE and their tolerance for opposing opinions, methodologies, humor, etc. And the KNOWLEDGE base is darn near impossable to beat.<br /><br />With very few exceptions, the members of iboats.com forums are head and sholders above the average poster on other sites. <br /><br />I do think a photos forum would be a great enhancement to these forums. But photos do take space, and space means more servers. iboats.com has to pay for this stuff somehow....
