We've been building a web-based site for boating over the last 14
months. There are a few things that come close to what we've been
working on, but nothing that goes as far or as deep. It's called
ActiveCaptain (www.activecaptain.com).

ActiveCaptain is not commercial. There is no cost. There are no
advertisements. It is designed to be a place where you can find
marinas, anchorages, and local knowledge visually on worldwide maps.
It should be fast and interactive...and fun.

We've loaded the initial database full of 8,000 marinas in the US.
Each entry holds 116 fields broken up into 5 sections and 49 groupings.
The database includes common things like phone number, lat/lon,
website, etc. but we also track things that aren't often documented -
are pets welcome, diesel price/date, internet access, slip price per
foot, and many other items. There is also an extensive capability for
reviewing and rating a facility. Anchorages and "local knowledge" are
much simpler and will be added next.

We need people to review the marine facilities in their area and make
additions, corrections, reviews, etc. We need a lot of people.

ActiveCaptain is all about community. The framework will allow others
to share their knowledge and experience. Adding the information you
know into this framework will help many others and end up helping
yourself when you cruise to an area that you are less familiar with.

What you're really building is a commerically viable list of emails for
people interested in boating. You should disclose that you must provide
an email address and "register" to use your site.

Good luck staying current with the price of fuel at "8000 marinas". You
must have a staff of about 20? :-)

The Privacy Policy listed on the ActiveCaptain web site is very
explicit about how an email address will be used. Like the Privacy
Policy on this site (Google Groups Privacy Notice :
http://groups.google.com/intl/en/goo...privacy3.html), we do
require that you register to make additions to the site.

Unfortunately, we live in a world with too many lawyers and we need to
protect ourselves should someone enter libelous information on our
site, as well as protect users from unauthorized access. We are not
charging for the use of this site and don't want a frivolous lawsuit.

Our goal is to create something that will be useful for all boaters.
If all participants simply offer honest, true information and opinions,
we will all benefit.

I am sorry that our web site has upset you. It was certainly not
meant to do that. Our intent is to provide a resource for fellow

lawsuits. Like Google, who provides this free service, we must attempt

The spirit of ActiveCaptain is a place where we can share information

Want to start with Peggie Hall?Peggie Hall continues to use and post advice to other boating NG's,
including non moderated UseNet forums. * * When Peggie left rec.boats.
she was very adamant why she stopped posting in rec.boats. *She was
tired of the personal inflammatory attacks by one of more (at the time,
the most) prolific regulars in rec.boats.

I had lunch with Peggie maybe a year and a half ago, and that is
essentially what she told me. When the subject of rec.boats came up
(very briefly) she referred to it as "(so-and-so's) group", and
remarked that she was not going to post here again. To be fair, I think
there were additional reasons as well. In addition to "so-and-so" and
the negative atmosphere created by non-stop political cut and pastes,
wars of the eternal flame, etc, she was regularly getting scorched by
another poster. That person is seldom seen here these days but he or
she had a highly refined ability to make extremely acidic remarks.


The personal, inflammatory attacks, and the off topic political
bickering that was the norm in rec.boats for so many years is reason why
most of the professionals left rec.boats.

And why it is important to discourage that type of behavior when we
can. The rec.boats NG should attract boaters, there are plenty of other
NG's where political BS is appropriate.

Most USENET newsgroups have a charter that outlines what is and is not

have a charter. So really, there is no such thing as an off topic
post in rec.boats. Anything goes.

Now, your ISP probably (most do) have a TOS that spells out a lot of

Since I am quoted... I'll try again.... I said, "web based forums." I

specifically had in mind those (privately held) forums that had TOS
and in most cases moderated (censored) content.

Rec.boats was created before charters were deemed necessary and when
people acted with a bit more decorum than they do now. It is sad
social commentary.

So, you can come here and be as bad as you want to be. Then, the only
remaining venue will be a private site where you can go say (only)
what the moderator wishes others to see and where you have to adhere
to a certain code of behavior or be sued....

Thus, there is no charter, there is no TOS, there is, however, an
out-of date FAQ:

All you have to do to get rid of most of the useless slime here is for
usenet to require that real names and IPs be used in posting. That would
be the end of at least 90% of them.

Yep...shine the light of day into the dark crevices.

Well, no. It's actually a lot more than that that can get you cut
off. It all depends on if enough people complain to your ISP that
you're breaking your TOS. As for what's in the TOS, check yours since
they're all different. I have Verizon, and here's mine:

http://www2.verizon.net/policies/tos.asp?

In particular, check out near the bottom, Attachment A, Acceptable Use
Policy, paragraph 3. Yours may be similar.

The people that continuously post "off topic" stuff in this newsgroup
are lucky there isn't a charter and that nothing is technically off
topic here. If they did that in a group that has a charter, like
rec.boats.cruising for example, and were Verizon customers, their
service could be cut because you are not allowed to "(g) to post
information on newsgroups which is not in the topic area or charter
(e.g. off-topic posting) of the newsgroup;".

Of course, I'm sure Verizon wouldn't do anything unless the violations
were frequent and flagrant. Then again, that describes some people
here.

The rumors of your demise were premature.
Glad to see it.

Thanks. Rumors of my demise? Wow. Well, I just don't have the time
anymore to post as much as I used to. And with the turn this group
has taken, it's not really worth it anyway. Plus, I sold 2 of my
boats last year. Now the only way I have to get on the water is the
little Zodiac inflatable with a small outboard that used to be the
tender for the big boat. But even that's still fun.

The problem with many usenet groups is that they have been infested with
slime who think they can get away with posting any sort of insult they
like because they're "anonymous."

Of course, if you post using your name, then it's perfectly acceptable to
post any sort of slimey insult you like!

If you filter out the trash from these posters, you'll have a more
readable newsgroup he

In other words, anonymous posting is OK, if you're someone to whom Harry
wants to suck up!

Harry posted his comment and his "list" just to get a rile out of
everyone on his "list". He is upset since he no longer can post 100's
of insult a day responding to OT posts, I try ignore his comments
because it is the only thing that really ****es him off.

I think most folks laugh at the idea of Harry having a 'list' at all. His
ego wouldn't let him.

You should try to give him support. He is a really neat guy.

John... you seem desperate to get Harry's attention. If you try being nice,
you may even get another invite out on his boat.
just think...you'd have a 'captive audience' out there on the Bay a couple
miles offshore.


My gosh, Don! Who is more complimentary of the fine young man? When was the
last time you told Harry what a neat guy he was?

You know, I really think you'd bitch and whine if someone ****ed in your
beer.

What is comical is harry actually believes that people would care about
being on his mythical list.

Good grief. Herring is really obsessed with me. He knows the area in which
I live...maybe I should move before I'm the victim of a right-wing
drive-by.

Oh oh! Another 'Tuuk' in the making!
