Help! They'er locking me up and I need bail $!

Apparently the fine folks have at the MDA think I have enough friends to bail me out.

I really cant believe how many Oso's members didnt donate to a good cause.....Where are all the "big" guys that love to get on here and tell everyone how fast and great their boats are?

salesmanship 12-09-2009 12:30 PM

I tried yesterday to do the same thing on The Hull Truth.
Had a few hits but when I checked this morning they pulled my thread and fined my 3 points. ( I don't know what that means)
Apparently I violated the no soliciting terms for the general boating discussion forum.

Its owned by IP.. same co....different rules.. B.S. IIt's the arogant moderators over there.. The site is way different.. if it doesnt say Yellowfin anywhere in your posts the thread doesnt go anywhere.

salesmanship 12-09-2009 03:21 PM

Or Homesite.. Inside joke for the guys on THT.
Hey I'm out.
Thanks for your help. Right now we are over $7500!
The donation page is open for 30 days so if you haven't donated and can scratch a few sheckles together we still have time.
Thank you, Thank you and Thank you!

salesmanship 12-09-2009 07:04 PM

They closed my "Apology" thread with a statement from THT MOD 3 claiming (in caps in red type) I was spam and that was that.
Tonight I am cancelling my advertising on that site.
Thank you OSO mods for allowing me to spam and take advantage of these folks.
Terry

tomtbone1993 12-09-2009 07:14 PM

THT is a crappy website......

Great job Terry! dont drop the soap while you're in there.

GLH 12-20-2009 10:31 PM

Lets get this jump started again to attain $10k for Terry's effort... I think Terry is up around $7,600 or so....

OK here's the deal... Otis/Bob Scanlon called me on the 17th of November needing money to come back from Key West after losing his wallet, having done favors to each other in the past I did not have any issues sending Bob $1,000 right at that moment, he said he would be back by the weekend and send me a check or drive me back the money.

I have had many promises of getting my money since and the latest being a Saturday promise of equitable accounts... then no calls, or answers or any more contacts from Bob.

So whatever Bob sends me of what he owes me I will donate to the cause for Terry. Anyone who knows Bob and can let him know be my guess, maybe you will have a better chance to reach him then I have.

GLH 12-21-2009 12:46 PM

Well looks like Terry will be $1,000 closer to his goal.

Thanks for resolving this Bob.

Bob also mentioned that he will put in some of his own on something he got the raw end of a deal on. Bob thank you very much for this also.
