Building a forum designed to appeal to actual boaters. Categorized format designed to permit members to isolate those posts most likely to be of personal interest. The board is sponsored by a random and rotating group of marine related advertisers, so be forewarned there are commercial messages in some of the margins. No popups, however. It would be hard to imagine any advertising as offensive as some of the content in unmoderated NG's. Lightly moderated, with one reasonably free-for-all OT board "The Pumpout". Spirited discussions from all viewpoints encouraged, but boorish juvenile name calling and mean spirited personal attacks will be X'd. Would appreciate some qualified specialists willing to assist in moderating various categories. Would also appreciate participation from anybody experienced in "dressing up" a web site with graphics, etc. This forum is in its absolute infancy, so early paticipants can help influence the character of the final format. Anybody primarily interested in *boating discussion* is welcome. And heck, you can always come back here and exchange insults with the resident trolls when the urge to do so becomes overwhelming. :-) Disruptive trolls will have short life expentancies at http://boatingforum.proboards91.com See you there.

(or not) I have a little experience in these type of things. .I have plenty of suggestions, but I will limit it one in particular. I would not use all the bells and whistles available right yet with the board, I would start with one or two forums and split them out as demand requires. Another issue is of course getting your forum out there, if you (Chuck) get this thing going at all, I would certainly put a link to your board on a couple of my sites which get 1000-1500 viewers a week or so, during the summer months. Good luck and maybe I will stop by. Scotty |

Hell, you probably could convince Chuck to set up a discussion subgroup called Sea Shanties, and talk about your guitar collection there. I think finger pointing can be dangerous. Here's a sampling of threads initiated by you in rec.boats over the past few months. Most dissolved into hundreds of "" replies and debates. All are virtually without any boating content. There are many more that are not included in this list because the body contained some words that had a remote connection to boating. I didn't finish this because I got bored with it. These are some of the ones posted by you as "HK". I didn't bother with those posted as "HKrause" or "Harry Krause". To be fair, the record also shows a number of on-topic boating posts initiated by you. Remember these headers? -------------------------------------------------- Is Bush aware oil hits $103.95?

Remember, there is at least one monitor there who had offered up identities of posters who wish to stay anonymous, based on political ideology and a personal disagreement with it. Thankfully, we can all speak freely here;) Chuck's "rules" are posted and easily understood, and mostly have to do with avoiding the nastiness that pervades this usenet group. I suppose if you can't behave reasonably, you won't like Chuck's Joint. I give him credit for trying something. *He didn't just pick up his football and go home. I am too invested in rec.boats, and some of the personalities here to give it up (particularly the humor), but I'll also try to support his "kinder, gentle-er" boating forum. Eisboch If you and the few others here with an interest in boats supported Chuck's efforts, there's no reason why you can't bring "the humor" with you over there and leave the pigs here to wallow in their manure. Hell, you probably could convince Chuck to set up a discussion subgroup called Sea Shanties, and talk about your guitar collection there. It would be an interesting experiment, to see who could, and who could not, behave reasonably.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yes, it would. You'd be out on your ass in a heartbeat. |

wrote: http://boatingforum.proboards91.com Building a forum designed to appeal to actual boaters. Categorized format designed to permit members to isolate those posts most likely to be of personal interest. The board is sponsored by a random and rotating group of marine related advertisers, so be forewarned there are commercial messages in some of the margins. No popups, however. It would be hard to imagine any advertising as offensive as some of the content in unmoderated NG's. Lightly moderated, with one reasonably free-for-all OT board "The Pumpout". Spirited discussions from all viewpoints encouraged, but boorish juvenile name calling and mean spirited personal attacks will be X'd. Would appreciate some qualified specialists willing to assist in moderating various categories. Would also appreciate participation from anybody experienced in "dressing up" a web site with graphics, etc. This forum is in its absolute infancy, so early paticipants can help influence the character of the final format. Anybody primarily interested in *boating discussion* is welcome. And heck, you can always come back here and exchange insults with the resident trolls when the urge to do so becomes overwhelming. :-) Disruptive trolls will have short life expentancies at http://boatingforum.proboards91.com See you there. (or not) Thanks Chuck. The place looks great. I've a feeling this place will get less and less busy. I've been gone for six days, and came back to over 1100 posts. The great majority are sniping attacks. It will be fun to see the sniping cut to a minimum. See ya there. -- John H |
