In other countries if a man steals food for his family his hand is cut off. Just sayin

Yes... he STOLE my password, it has been explained to you how and why if you chose not to believe that fine I could care less, I'm not restetting anything as I feel I shouldn't have to and that it was a low life underhanded thing he did.
One day after you dump the time that I did into that place let someone yank the rug out from under you for no good reason and then deny haveing ever done anything wrong.
PHUCK'EM is all I have to say......

Here is Saturdays activities.



6/18 8:00am --> 6/19 10:45am
OSO: 54T, 798P
SOS: 14T, -61P

Does MINUS 61 posts make any sense to you??

When people left they recorded their stats.
Now their posts are being eliminated . Why ??

I believe that current good volunteers arent participating in wiping out old posts, but they are still being wiped out by somebody.
Cant wait to hear what they are being told as the reason.

I talked to a good friend who is IT Tech Sr @ Verasign this afternoon and he said it's more common than you know... Yahoo mail is the worst he says.. he's right, I came home and in less than 30 seconds hacked my wifes Yahoo account... she now knows what to do so it won't happen again.. oh well, I needed a new password anyways... sorry for my original post, I learned a lot today in tracking using Verasign, and a good lesson in what I didn't know..

Nort, thanx for the delete, I appreciate it, Peace

Once a ponzi collapses its done, your not going to make money off of it, you have to go start a new one. At the time the money was offered, he more than likely thought it as a speed bump and didn't slow down, he soon found that speed bump was a brick wall smashing head on. He then gave Stecz the last semi dented hubcap.

You guys seem to think that hubcap was to distract people while he tried to rebuild the car. Hell he stole the care to begin with, why rebuild it when there is an entire parking lot of cars with the keys in them, engines running on the other side of the street???

Rob, my password was stolen from HERE... not there..

I have enjoyed BOTH sites, and will continue to do so as *I* choose. I still think the 2 sites can co-exist, and feed off each other productively. I just don't play well with this destruction agenda platform going on back and forth. There are GOOD people in both places. I fully intend to learn, share, and post in both places without bias or malice.

thanx for the kind words..

This shows what this site is and what we strove for over there, great post Jim.

I have a question for the masses, now that a good amount of people know, why cant you guys post here and further this site down the road, the original hurdles from IB have long been overcome and OSO has plenty of seasoned quality members while we weeded out a few and many new ones coming daily. Why try to resuscitate a tainted dying site when everything needed is here? including but not limited to years of history and knowledge a click away. I honestly wonder every time a question gets asked over there, how many searches here are que'd for the answer, I'm pretty sure it's way more than one would think ..My vote is stay here take your shoes off and relax, post away... :)

I think the threads have done their job. CS hasn't reponded to a single thread in a meaningful way, and nobody's refuted anything. Some of the more meaningful supporters have come on here and given up the ship. No need for those to admit anything, chit happens.

Rob, To answer your question.... We have talked in person, pm'd and talked online, So you know I have kind of a different sense of humor. It goes over much better over there. I really kind of have to restrain that here as it doesnt go over as well it seems. I have friends over there I talk to, I have friends ove here I talk to... ...It would truely be a wonderfull thing if all my boating and internet friends were in one place, and I felt free to be my normal semi intelligent jackazz self, but thats about as likely as unification in offshore racing.

Maybe I need a T-shirt that says "United we talk about boats, stuffed penguins, claymates and drnken jackassery"

Over there, never paid a dime for membership, felt welcomed comfortable and almost like I was wanted there.

Two competing offshore websites are not a benefit to me. The same threads are posted on each website and often go in different directions - so I need to check both threads. I need to search both sites to gather information. Advertisers need to place banners on both sites to get maximum exposure.

I don't have the time to scan several websites; and advertisers would benefit from one dominant website that gets most of the traffic. It's a win-win for members and advertisers if SOS went away and the members came here.

"Robbed of 700 dollars"...not really, 700 was the amount he took from everyone's "donations" to a charity, the previous time he wrote a bogus check to a children's charity for 2600, some have said the amount doesnt matter, it's the intent. Why would you befrind someone that is in the mindset to steal from a charity that helps children with Cancer?

"Lied about who he is"...ever since he arrived on OSO, he continually bloviated of his boats (somewhere in the mid 20's now I think) and of his exploits in everything from backyard BBQing, to being a self defense training of police officers to normandy style steel beams in the ground to protect his house. As for the boats it was 4 41 apaches, a 38 and 46 cougar, a 41 and 50 foot searay, 6 or so sutphins, a topgun, a couple of 35 cigs (mark donahues old boat), a 28 apache, a velociity which the site is named after, yet the only pics of it are by the current owner in front of his house. The fact that this was done over the course of years, showed that he has socialogical patterns toward lies and fabrication. Your ok with this? this is the type of guy you want on your boat with your family?

"took credit for something he didnt do".... because he was waiting for the payday and got greedy and got busted. Lots of people put 18 months of man hours into building that site, as I had posted previously, when the ownership change here, and the resulting server issues, everyone built what we wanted, in less than a year I saw the writing on the wall and walked away a little after a year. What started out as a democracy led to one person making all the decisions and controlling the content, to what he only thought was acceptable, everything that he did was a calcualted move to bolster his position in the industry to continue to fleece the members like you, by preying on your generosity. You're ok with this?

"Sorry your butts got hurt over this"... making a statement like this and then telling people to respect you in the next paragraph is kind of contradicting wouldn't you say? I have been respectful and even posted my phone number as words can much more accurately describe, and frankly I've typed it more than a few times. In the end , youre free to go and do whatever you want, if you choose to be his friend good luck, but to come on here and ridicule the very people that made that site what you like, (I'll mention being as they are not there now you can have a conversation there with the same 15 or so people) dont expect people to react nicely as you try to rub anything in their faces. :)

OSO can be a bit overwhelming due to its size, however everyone has always been welcome, heck even Sunkin can still post hear. We have given a lot of leway on this thread but ussually we try and keep things as civil as we can. Even people that get out of control and banned almost always get a invite back. Maybe some would want us to moderate more but we beleive that you all are big boys/girls and for the most part can handle things yourselves. There are only 5 of us on this board so we don't see everything and that is were we need you guys to help us out with a report to moderator when something is real offensive.

He has something negative to say about everything, or he knows more than everyone on most subjects regaurding everything! I guess that is why him and Sunkin are such good friends. I was kinda shocked that Chris gave the site to Dave and not John, bet John was mad after all a$% kissing he does to Chris, and as much as he has stuck up for a thief and a lier!! plus John does have a boat:grinser010:

So it is a double standard to me that he is allowed to threaten violence on people in his posts. Very angry and bitter. Ironic that he comes across as the same type of keyboard commando that he so obviously loathes.
