Love the stories but still waiting on something more then "Billy Wishnick fronted me enough money to start Nova Marine" about my little slice of history sitting in my driveway sucking the life out of my retirement savings.

This wasn't just done arbitrarily. It was earned by PBN. When they went live we(OSO/IB) were sure that we could get along well and everybody would benefit. Then Brad went against some people's advice and took shot after shot at this site for not being "owned by boaters" and other not so nice comments. The decision was made that rather than play that game the site would treat PBN as it didn't exist as much as possible.

Now, having said that, I interact with Brad regularly and think he promotes his site how he sees fit. We speak at nearly every event we attend together and sometimes in between. I have no ill will and hope all the sites survive long enough for the Facebook/ADD crowds to realize the benefits of a centralized forum that can be easily searched, used and understood.
