Or maybe exert a little self control. I guess HB was just a mirror of society.

I think I'll exert the self control in regards to your previous post and the new mentality boaters.  I'm pretty sure with all of our conversations in the past, we're on the same page here :D
Yep, I too miss the good ole days when we had some of the best of the best posting up and sharing their knowledge.  Oh well, I'm just glad I was able to be a part of all that!

Not exactly sure just what you mean by this, but if it's that anybody can do anything and it just doesn't matter because it's the internet, then this is the attitude that focked up Hotboat, and what I HOPE isn't tolerated here. People need to learn to respect others and just 'cuz they have a mouth, doesn't mean they shouldn't SHUT the damn thing occasionally.

I took a few hours out this morning to update the html and post the old Roostwear brochures on VRC. You can check it out at VRC/fc. I password protected it to help keep the bandwidth down and prevent hyperlinking the images.

Roost,

First off, thanks for taking the time to post those....i love seeing old ads and pictures. the rogers guacamole ad for harold bruce is neat....roger finney just told me some stories about that boat about a month ago.

second of all.....no, the crap on hotboat wont be tolerated here.....i do my best to keep the drama down....so do others. i get PM's from people when they see something going on they dont like....which i appreciate....it shows people care about the integrity of this site. this isnt just my site...yeah, i built it and maintain it....but it wouldnt be shit if it wasnt for all of the members contributing to it. The door is always open for advice and suggestions for the site. I value all feedback I get greatly. Positive or negative.

I rather have a website where I can express my feelings openly, negative or not, than a website where a Nazi administrator sensors everything and keeps everything "mild". We've had our share of hissy fits here on socaljetboats, and so did hotboat but they had more people on there everyday. IMHO hotboat didn't have much drama on it, if you saw a thread or something that had some you didn't have to read it. No one's forced to be dragged into being part of drama, or even acknowledgeing it's existance. Hotboat was a good site, lost of info with people who can answer questions. Them shuting it down I hope sure isn't because of the way "people acted", cause if that's a case I wouldn't want to visit anyways. It's an open discussion forum in the Sandbar, BR and PR. And allmost all threads that we're in the tech sections that had became a shouting match was moved to Bench Racers anyway. And the moderators did plenty of their share of locking and deleting threads. I enjoy this site as well, and I don't think if someone starts disagreeing with others, that Brad is going to go all Nazi on their ass. He moves the threads to the appropriate places.

Ok I think rant over.

well, that right there is what i dont like to see on this site, but i refrain from moderating it so it doesnt make me look like a total nazi dickhead.

it happens on every forum and it irks me.....2 people get in a conversation that is totally off topic and drives the thread into the ground. ...i know im guilty of it too.....but some are worse then others.

Some people just need to think before they post - "Will this add value to the thread"....instead of replying with a "lol" or something totally irrelivant to the subject of the thread.

Because of my work, I might see it a bit differently....I work with servers all day and when i get stumped on an issue i turn to google.....and i when find someone with a similar issue, i have to sift through 10 pages of 2 guys discussing what they had for lunch before i find the answer. It frustrates me.

Well, it appears  a few don't know the difference between freedom of speech and having the common sense and respect to NOT say something.

I think we all know the heart of Hotboat was in just jets... it was the only place a question got answered and decent information shared... it seems this site is on its way to filling that void.
However, the rest of the site was GREAT entertainment and by far the best place to buy and sell stuff... a valuable resource lost.

On another note… did anyone read the letter from the editor in the new mag! The ditsy chick who’s running the thing is fresh out of college… seems her only boating experience is flashing her rack on daddy’s boat. The ship is sinking fast boys.

Personally I loved HB for the extremely wide variety of topics/info that was discussed daily.  I got a lot of News from there in addition to alot of entertainment. However I get a lot more work done during the day now.  They had a large number of morons over there but it was still better than nothing for getting good info or just giggles.

As Old Rigger said earlier on in this post, it's not the first time they tried the pay site thing. It didn't work that time and it won't work this time. Way too many other places for everyone to migrate to (like this one). I signed up on HB back in 2000 (one of the first to join). It was like the wild west back then. Death threats and people getting way way out of hand. Although I had signed up, I wouldn't hang out there (it gave me a headache). I'd pop in from time to time and see the same ol crap, then bounce to Banderlog or RJB and a few others. If you thought it was bad just before they shut it down, you should've seen it back then (very mild by comparison).

I could care less that they've shut it off with one exception.............They dumped all that information (the good stuff that was mixed in amongst the crap). All gone and some of it never to be seen again.

Thanks to So Cal Jetboats.com for providing a place for all us people (that are too cheap to pay for a forum).

I still dont understand how anyone can justify charging for memberships to an online forum....

Now-a-days....hosting costs are very minimal. I started hosting this website with 1and1 (the AOL of hosting companies) using a business account ($9/month). I got fed up with their performance and not having control over what services were running on the server, so I got a hosted Virtual Machine ($60/month)....with unlimited bandwidth.....how can you justify charging for memberships for an UNMODERATED section of the site....and even more for the moderated section.  :o  >:(

its pure greed. thats all.
