I definitely was not on at that time. I was on earlier in the morning to delete my avatar and personal info as I will no longer support or frequent the site.

I think its a pretty safe assessment that OSO gets 100X more traffic. OSO has 45,000 members. When you search for technical topics or boat topics, OSO shows up - no one else.

Also, SOS doesn't allow you to read threads unless your registered, which is just a creative way to boost and artificially inflate membership. OSO is 45,000 members strong, but if you count the non-registered lurkers, as SOS does, I would venture to say more like 100,000+. SOS says their membership is around 4,000, which I also doubt.

Naw, it's a value added feature. SOS is where you go to just hang out and have a good time. Your screen name gets to hang out long after you've left the site, increasing your overall good time.

It is probably a safe assumption that some of those are registered, never post, maybe visited once or twice, but got that "update" email and logged in to see what the PM was about. More inflation via PM.

im just blown away by the fact that this Chris wouldn’t come on here and confess, by lying and not admitting to certain things that are proven to be lies, it kills his credibility. I for one would probably still be going on SOS site had i just heard the following

"hey guys, im sorry, i lived vicariously through my key board, telling stories i heard throughout the yrs from my race friends, or other boating buddies as though it was me. telling you all these stories gave me clout, it gave me power and credibility and more than that it gave me confidence and made me feel good... i embellished and told some tales that weren’t true of my boating past, career, and boats ive owned... it was stupid, immature and just a lala land i wished i lived in of a guy i was able to portray on the internet.... the real me is middle class, owner of a few project boats, with probably only 10% of the real life history, knowledge and boats owned that i portrayed... sorry for getting carried away. This doesn’t take away any of my love, passion or desire of the sport, it was just a low point for me getting carried away trying to impress you all with a life I was not, xxoo CS"
