Then i have to look at all their spam so they can make a buck. If you are going to take the time to start a new thread here, then post the content here. This goes for any "contributor" here, i will never read or comment if all you do is post a quick sentence and a link to go somewhere else...

While we appreciate your point of view at speedonthewater.com, creating content and creating traffic for our site provides our revenue stream. (We are a business.) To simply post that content in its entirely here would defeat the purpose. Your option not to click on it—the one you exercise and we support, though we wish you felt otherwise—is just that. Your option. We don't believe a click is a lot to ask for access to our content, which should open in a separate window so you can jump back to OSO. Clearly, you disagree. And that's OK.

I would do something about all the damn adds bogging down the damn forums!!!! It takes forever to reload a page cause all the crap has to reload to....

This is my opinion too

Why not create a General Center Console forum? So many have gone the CC route, embrace it. Look at Nascat's build thread, Cat to Console.

auto mo beel

i don't hit the other boat sites, oso or no go. it should be easier to post pics and vid ( i don't do facebook and photobucket) i quit using my etch a sketch the day before i joined oso. (not a computer guy)

my opinion is oso is a tech site, where boaters help boaters, and ball bustery is thrown in for fun. i come back for both

(i have done a drive by of some boat design forums and the sea ray forum, the uptight snobbery was a buzzkill )

agree w/ bondo a cc forum is a good idea, (one other point of view to learn from)
