Why was SOS Formed
I really did not notice a big change here when IB took over there were the connection problems that were solved I guess they did not have free bling which was a buisness decision
the content relly did not change. So why SOS
I think the answer is a chance for some guys to make some money I applaud this A group of guys thought he y could make a better product and it has disolved in chaos.
Shame another good boating site is always welcomed
Thanks to IB the owner of OSO got to cash out and sold to a company that has kept this the best offshore site on the web.

I don't know the full reasoning behind SOS but I can tell you why I migrated over there for the past year. First, I was getting tired of the slow speed that seemed to be plaguing OSO once IB took over. I was invited to join this new entity in its begining stages and thought most people would be coming over. Alot did including my NJ circle of friends. A couple weeks later, I had gotten into a heated debate here on OSO, not malicious or attacking mind you, backing a few friends in a disagreement with a sponsor of the site. Mysteriously I could no longer access this site. After multiple inquiries of why I was banned, I finally got an email stating that my account was still active and I was not banned. So I again tried logging in to no avail, asked multiple times for a new password or account access info and got no response. That is why I left. I hate drama and just want to talk about boats, events, benchrace, bust chops and have some fun!!! Since all of this turmoil over there started, I have gotten back together with the mods here on OSO who cleared up whatever was blocking me from access and I am back!
Now I just have to learn how (or how much I need to pay) to post pictures!

I am not "in the loop" but when IB bought OSO it lost the owned by a friend and the one of us feel. SOS tried to bring that back.

From someone who just likes to read about the boats and view some pictures I really dont think there was much of a difference between the two.
If this site was slow for a bit whatever.. I am sure we all have better things to do from life productivity standpoint.
A good portion of the posts here were simply cut-n-pasted over there anyway.
