Ok, Enough Is Enough
 
What happened to all the fun on this board :D ? It seems lately all we do is gripe and ***** about each others choice in boats and bad mechs. Let's all bring back the FUN on this board and give up all the *****'n.
Hey, Sean, BCC, Travis, puder, Mr. Cig, DJD, Too Old, Audio, RiverGirl, Mike Carter, Tinkerboater, DanL, Sunseeker, shorgasm, RiskTaker, Cord, Attidude Adjustment, Goodfella, Ottis311, Steve David, kaamacat, and ALL those that I have not mentioned. LET'S bring back the FUN of this board.
Hell, I remember when Travis was the most controversal thing we had going, and DAMN wasn't HE entertaining :D . Seems like chicken **** compared to what's been going on lately. All this AT vs. PP stuff, who cares :confused: . Aren't we all about having FUN in our HOT ROD BOATS ? Who cares if you have a Cig/Apache/AT/PP/Fountain/Skater/PQ/Formula/Eliminator/Spector/Scarab/Bayliner/OuterLimits/Hustler/etc/etc/etc. Sorry if I left ANYONE out, but I only have limited brain capacity at 4:00am EST and a (few) rum&cokes, aey Stinson.

All I'm saying guys and girls is can't we all get along????? This is supposed to be FUN, and I don't think that I'm a minority in saying that can't we ALL share the love of the sport.

Be careful of the toes that you step on today, as they might be connected to the ass that you have to kiss tomorrow.

Ya, what he said.

Iggy 05-16-2002 06:19 AM

Same here.

OffshoreOnly 05-16-2002 06:22 AM

Thank you, we need that to come from someone other than OSO.

mama tryed 05-16-2002 06:58 AM

Robert, Thanks, for putting into words, what Mama and I, have been thinking about , for the last two months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To make it offical,,,,

I make a motion, that we accept Robert's proposal in full!!!!
:D :D :D
[LOOKING FOR A SECOND]

Is it time for LOTO yet?????????:D :D :D

jb 05-16-2002 07:16 AM

I agree,
I read the PP VS. AT post and did not even comment.
I am sure the board will come full circle as soon as it stops raining here in the East!
Remember when we were wondering what RedBull was and where the hell is the Bat???

I will second it:) But look what happens when we try to have fun. Risk Taker jokes get flamed out. Travis boat naming was fun (I liked little PP:D ) but he didn't like the sheep names. Maybe Newspeed will come back. Redbull & vodka for everyone. LET THE FUN BEGIN!!!!:) :cool:

CigDaze 05-16-2002 08:03 AM

I'm in!
Well said Robert!
Let's all lighten up get back to the fun in boating! ;) :cool: :D

Audiofn 05-16-2002 08:24 AM

I know what the threads are going to be like, so I do not even read them. Some of the missing dinamic that we used to have with people like Travis is a bummer, He will be back some day I hope, he is just working his but off on his boat.

Magicfloat 05-16-2002 08:34 AM

Sounds great to me. Iwould rather hear about an old Donzi 18 that ran 98 mph last weekend or how Too Old's paint is coming along or when Travis is coming back than follow an AT vs. PP thread

Audiofn 05-16-2002 08:40 AM

See if my post on the PRelubrication string is kind of what you are looking for :D:D:D:D Just doing my part :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Chris288 05-16-2002 08:44 AM

HEY,,, Whats wrong with sluts ???? LOL...
 
I was just talking about this to Baja-Daze yesterday, between dead board members, who ripped off who, bad boat dealers, bad trailer dealers, bad factory service, bad engine builders, part suppliers, AT Vs. PP, and so on its getting ridiculous...

The Internet is a VERY powerful tool, I have learned that there are two sides to every story and then there is the TRUTH. There are a lot of positives to SOME of the things that have been happening on here though,, We have weeded out a theif and a few bad business men, and if all this saves just ONE of us getting RIPPED off,, well, isn't that part of the point...

BODYSHOT1 05-16-2002 08:57 AM

Well done! Let's have some Fun!
:D

WaterMoose 05-16-2002 09:02 AM

I've only been a member for a short time, and yes, I'm a member of the dreaded boat industry...which anyone who has gotten to know me knows...I agree totally with the above. Since I've been around OSO, I've learned a ton, laughed alot, and made some great friends! Let's keep it that way..the bashing and namecalling is rediculously unnecessary, to say the least.

Happy! Happy! Happy!

WaterMoose

thunderdan 05-16-2002 09:09 AM

What a great post. I am with you 100 percent. Woohooo, lets bring the fun back to OSO.:D :D :D

That is why I got into boating, to relax, met some great people and have some fun.

Oh and the one other reason...so I can check out all the scantily clad women who seem to flock around boats....
:p :p

Shane 05-16-2002 09:12 AM

Okay, I have a CASE of Red Bull, a sheep and a Bottom Liner. All I need is the BAT and I will have a HELL of a weekend!:D :D :D :D

See we can still have FUN! Hell, I can even poke fun at myself.

"Remember when we were wondering what RedBull was and where the hell is the Bat???" Ahhh, the GOOD OLE DAYS!

NOW THAT"S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!:D

kingpin 05-16-2002 09:17 AM

Red Bull..................Travis what the hell were you thinking??? Tastes like Canadian turpintine:D

I agree Medicine Man....back to the fun days!

Sean 05-16-2002 09:17 AM

Robert,

I think you've said what everyone has been thinking...this board is a huge improvement over the first board...and you're right, we need to get back to talking about boats...now where's tha ssherman guy :eek: :eek:

I hope you all have a safe and fun filled summer!

Sean

thunderdan 05-16-2002 09:26 AM

I actually tried that Red bull, reminded me of my 21 birthday doing bar stands, you know when put your head back and the bartender just starts pouring all different alchol down your throat. Man the good ole days....:D :D

MrCIG 05-16-2002 09:40 AM

Robert, I totally agree!!!!
But I did notice you put Cigarette #1 :D Where it should be.:D

Mark

hughandlinda 05-16-2002 09:41 AM

Robert, You da Man!!!!! How many of those outdated bad ass offshore weapons(that everyone else wishes he had) do you have. I've seen MedicineMan & I think you have a 41 also.

Well said Robert........I try and do my part to keep the mood lighthearted. Rum & cokes at 4am?? You rock!! :D :D

euby 05-16-2002 09:57 AM

i used to come to this site daily and have fun....not so fun anymore. i've decided to go elsewhere to have my "boat chat". i would love to see this site be fun again but it seems like every thread had somebody bashing someone else for one reason or another. i pretty much stay in the tech side anymore because if i want to see people fight i'll go home:D

Mik 05-16-2002 10:10 AM

Well said!!!!! :)

dyno 05-16-2002 11:31 AM

RiverGirl 05-16-2002 12:55 PM

When is the BIG INDIAN going to be ON THE WARPATH in Florida ...?

Zoomnfun 05-16-2002 01:16 PM

Right on RLT, you said it all:D

MissAmy 05-16-2002 01:27 PM

Yup, I agree too. I don't even read the other threads that I know are going to be a bunch of bickering.

I'm just here to stay in touch with our friends, get ready for LOTO, and have fun!

:)

DJD 05-16-2002 01:37 PM

I'm with you Robert.
One question though, would I be better off running a Powerplay or Active thunder in SBI or APBA?
LOL

thunderdan 05-16-2002 01:53 PM

djd,

run both in both. there problem solved.:D

mika 05-16-2002 01:54 PM

I am a car nut also and I try to stay current on a particular Audi web site. Same S*&% goes on there with the bashing.(maybe not as extreme) but I can honestly say when this board gets going, it sure can be funny:) :)
Keep the humor coming, everyone can use the laughs:D :D

yea...more fun than i can have!:D

ssherman 05-16-2002 03:44 PM

(in my best jerky boy accent) hey i am right here you rubberneck:D

Well put RLT I own a AT and have removed all my AT insignia from it (well it kinda had something to do with the fresh paint) Lets all just group hug. I have my own opinions on many builders, rigging shops, and engine builders from hands on experience and if asked i will offer but i usually try to keep most of them to my self and elect to let them know of my dis-satisfaction (is that a word) by taking my business else where.

thisistank 05-16-2002 04:12 PM

Theres two problems I see on this board: ALot of the people are sheep (no offense shane:D ) They just follow what other people have said. If someone starts bashing they pitch in to and start bashing. If someone starts off with a nice thread about a subject, everyone follows. I remember everyone was down on PBM talking all kinds of crap. I wrote a thread that said, hey, these guys arent all that bad and it's a great mag. They made a mistake, end of story, get over it. That thread was long with people that agreed, the contorversy died.

The other prob. is alot of people like watching drama and instigate it.

My point is, don't be like other knuckle heads out there. You see a crash off the side of the road, dont brake, slow to almost a stop so you can see.....just keep driving, glance over if you must, but move on! Blaze your own trail, have your own opinions (hopefully based on facts). And for the love of god quit acting like a bunch of little girls. Now, summer is here, lets boat!!

Tank

ssherman 05-16-2002 04:18 PM

So tank have you blazed a trail in the glitter removal business yet???:D :p

Uncle Toys 05-16-2002 04:18 PM

Right on Tank!

Sean 05-16-2002 04:21 PM

Hey tank...why don't you shut the F(*K up!!!!

Sorry...I didn't want to be a sheep here and go along with you :p :p :D :D

thisistank 05-16-2002 04:25 PM

good call sean!:D

SSherman....I had no success getting that crap off of the formula! I still have it in my boat from havasu like 3 years ago!!:rolleyes:
You need a steam cleaner!

Tank

jawbreakerkid 05-16-2002 04:30 PM
