- OffshoreOnly is now officially the slowest-runnning boating web site that I visit. Between the Google ads, flashing graphics, and general parasitic BS, every page takes forever to load or update.
- ...IF the page loads successfully at all. More and more, things simply come to a halt partway through the process.
- The page width comes out screwed up more and more often.
- The "Last Post" column is completely unreliable. It often refers to posts that are days or weeks old. Even worse, it's accuracy is totally random; you can never tell when it works and when it doesn't.
For almost 10 years, OSO has been virtually the only boating web site that I spent time on. In the last 2 months, I have found myself spending more and more time on other sites that I neve thought I would sign up for, simply because I don't have to spend my time waiting for those sites to do what they should - perform.
In the last month, I have joined both ScreamAndFly.com and BoatFreaks.org, and tripled my post count on Speedwake.com.
Do as you see fit. So will I.
Ditto - it is a shame. I feel the same way.

I don't get the pop ups or any of the flashing graphics. But I have had times where after I click the quick response it takes for ever to post, but that does seem to be better then it was. Unfortunately a lot of people have left because of the problems they were having so the sight is so much less active, it's a shame because I hate having to check in on two or three other sites each day. I wonder if anyone has a way of checking this, I would be curious to see what the number of posts were this August compared to last August.

I'm certainly not paying for this site again. I don't need to spend 30 bucks to see my cool avatar.
