Charlie, I'm not gonna put up with negative crap on this site. Bashing SBT does noone anygood, much less the sport. Take it somewhere else.


So far you one 2 things have had to be moderated, and surprisingly they both involve you.

i disagree. only one thing had to moderated and i will agree with that.

me saying "fpwct" is exactly how i feel. sorry if it hurts you that i dont like some corperate website. i still feel that it wasnt moderation-worthy. i think you over reacted on it. especially since many others are pretty much saying the same thing and the ones that arent saying it are certainly thinking it.

Good luck SBT. I will stop posting on a regular basis, kinda weird but the attitudes of some members changed (mostly those here, myself included). I think it is because there is a differnent feel, a commercial motivation. Kind of like an auto mfgr that has forums on their site. Just think that Thunderbird owners club, or Camero, Mustang, etc. actually hosted by Ford, Chevy, ...


Tip of the iceberg is the forwarding of SBT traffic to PWCT.

The way I look at it is this... SBT bought their way to instant access to over 15,000 members of a popular website. In doing so, they gain control over site content to a huge degree. And I complete agree with michael950.

However, it's in the past now. I love this new site and I will do the majority of any on line posting here. Big thanks to SuperJett for taking the lead for everyone.

are you here only because you aren't alowed to post anywhere else? Why not contribute to the new site instead of bashing and threatening?

This feels like home, like PWCT felt 3 years ago when I found it. This has nothing but potential going for it. Too bad so much 411 is trapped at PWCT...guess we'll have to rebuild from scratch.


Thanx Paul, Darrin and anyone else contributing to make this possible.

Without taking sides, I'd like to point out that the bashing is part of what made PWCToday what it was: independent, irreverent, and frank. There were very few sacred cows. Sure there were limits, but if they are drawn tighter at this site than what we had, what will be the difference between this site and PWCT?
(and I don't mean profanity and pornography. I understand the need for some people to have a work-safe site.)

Here is a novel idea: How about establishing a rule that if two or more people are going at it to the point where it's too much for the mods/admins to feel they have things under control, institute the "ignore" feature for them and mandate it for a 'cooling off' period of a set number of days (maybe start with a week or something). Forced ignoring instead of banning might work better. Of course, we'd need the ignore feature turned on.
Maybe even have it voted on.

The bashing was not always a part of pwctoday.

And your idea sounds too complicated to me?

It always seemed to be just a bit more reigned in than Rec.sport.jetski to me. It started where and when RSJ hit a dead end. Maybe I'm being too loose in my definition of bashing. I see it as people weren't afraid to speak their mind, not just acting like trolls. If you had a problem with someone, something, or what someone was saying, you could state your piece without worrying about being banned unless you crossed into cursing/threatening territory.

Maybe the Ignoring could just be suggested through PM's.
I've only used the ignore feature once, and I thought it worked well.

But hey, it's your show.

Sub, I agree with you on the debating, that is what made the site so good, but in the past certain members when they came across a good debate they would turn it into their own personal flame zone............. I think we can all work together to make this site be like PWCT was at the inset.............

and yes, I strongly feel that this site needs to stay work safe..........
