You guys do remember several years ago when the site was sold to IB , corporate mismanagement, loss of functionality and the loss of personal control of the site lead to so many becoming disenchanted with it... A new site was developed, funded and came to exist and it took off like a rocketship. Unfortunately the megalomaniacal traits of one of the founders caused a few vultures to take aim at the site instead of just the person.

It was kind of like carpet bombing a country containing incredible natural resources with nuclear weapons when one member of the govt was the problem.. Unfortunately, had that not been the case, and a well planned and orchestrated surgical strike had been carried out, well this thread probably wouldnt exist.

When was the last time you saw an OSO banner or flag flying at a race or poker run? when was the last time OSO sponsored anything? when was the last time OSO had a party? When was the last time OSO promoted the sport of powerboating instead of profiting from it?

Nah....

The one guy we got rid of in Iraq was the one guy that had the ability to make the country work. The website would have functioned fine without one individual....

I can't stand having ads appear when I start a new thread. It's rather annoying.
