This is an unmoderated group.

The content is determined by the participants, (in actual practice).

There is a constant stream of folks who never post anything about
boats, but simply complain that others do not post enough about boats
or don't post exclusively about boats.

This is a rough neighborhood. Even when you post on topic expect to be
insulted, flamed, and worse. (I've just been called on the carpet for
"misleading the group about the length of the boat" when I stated the
260 Defiance had an LOA of 26 feet)...

If you're looking for highly regulated, polite, adult discussion try
boatered.com (be prepared to be spammed by the moderator), or
thehulltruth.com (where there is almost as much political BS as here,
but because of the difference in format it is segregated into its own
section of the site).

Otherwise, what sort of boating topic would you like to discuss? It
won't happen unless you start the ball rolling. :-)
