In the last few months, it seems many people have abandoned this site . Where did they all go ? And why ???? Politics are anywhere you go so, what happened?

Boating.

I've been in the bilge rigging all day.

I get that ive been boating and wrenching on boats but its just kind of dried up for the most part . You look at threads and one or two people online...

Boating......winter is time for OSO

mudslinging and attacks got way out of control, people started getting grief just because they knew people that were getting grief. If you had an opinion on anything that was different than what the cool kids were into that particular day, you got attacked.

Dead on the money. Why post, or even try and contribute just to get your head chopped off.

Boating a lot. That leaves less time to take care of the normal around house stuff.

everyone is on facebook. But I really don't enjoy navigating through all that crap.

Facebook, gawd...what a waste. I'll get out of boating and move to the Rockies before I join that.

I thought so too for a long time, but finally broke down and signed up about 6-8 months ago.
Its an easy way to keep in touch with friends that have moved away or who live far away.
