Hey Sean, you're from Long Island. Did you post any Smack??

Re: what was the first OSO thread???
 

never...didnt have any reason to... :) except for the time i spanked a fountain in my old 28 Cig... I'd like to think Greg and I are friends to this day... :) except now he can probably outrun me in his new ride...especially since the only thing that will make my boat move right now is a pair of oars. :mad:

Re: what was the first OSO thread???
 

I discovered it in early 1999. It was a message board with no login names....just post away. Got real out-of -hand. Main reason for the new board format where you have to validate yourself with an email address.

I actually ran across it on the net when i did a search for something the other day. I'll try to find it again.

Re: what was the first OSO thread???
 

I'm sure I did to.

Re: what was the first OSO thread???
 

It was BAJABOB 38 looking for technical help to convert BRIGGS & STRATTON engines for marine use.I guess he got his answer based on the performance of the boat.

Re: what was the first OSO thread???
 

Look who just woke up from their deep sleep.

Re: what was the first OSO thread???

I saw that some dude named FR Cecil was on the first page asking about a transom on a Pantera in South Carolina. :cool: :drink:

Re: what was the first OSO thread???

Amazing how this place has progressed in a relatively short period of time.

Re: what was the first OSO thread???

Re: what was the first OSO thread???
 

That's before my time. OSO always had a GUI since I can remember.

Re: what was the first OSO thread???
 

Wow, That's like reading through back issues of Powerboat Mag. Recognizing some of the people and what they were talking about then Vs. what they know and drive now is pretty cool.

Frank C. - Then, 22 Donzi ....now one of the biggest Donzi Dealers in the US :drink:

CSpray - Then, Pre-Bat Boat and WOOHOO :evilb:

OSO Admin. - Then, Polite and well informed.............now the same as then :D :drink:

Re: what was the first OSO thread???

Re: what was the first OSO thread???
 

Back then I was member number 3 and I didn't own the boat I have now thats called Shanghied Again so I just plain old Frank C. Boy how time flys

Re: what was the first OSO thread???
 

Postings were somewhat docile in the beginning but with the anonymous posting someone took the anonymity as a place to hide. The poster insulted a boat manufacturer's wife and would not say who he (or she) was and then things got really heated,people stepped up to defend the integrity/character of the boat builder's wife who was insulted; people were really pissed and wanted that person's hide. If you talk smack about a boat that's one thing, but when you talk smack about someone's wife it was ready to get violent. That was prior to October 2000, I think. After the name calling incident the OSO had registration, and no more (anonymous posting) hiding which is a good thing.
