Re: An Addiction
I always felt obligated to check in daily like feeding the kids fish. It was something that had to be done. When I was redoing my boat back in 2000 / 2001 I got a lot of help here (and a lot more since) so I must try to give back what I have taken from the members here. I used to be part of another larger marine board back then, iboats was kind of slow (remember I am member #6370 meaning there was only 6370 members) but one day the big message board decided to change my screen name because they didn't like it. F_ them, if they cant take a joke. I deleted them from my favorites list and iboats became number one. Back when I first got here Performance Power Boaters were looked down upon. Most just kind of hung out in the shadows. One day after I asked a performance related question and most of the few responses where why do you want to do that? and I don't want you burning through my fishing hole! I noticed a answer or two was what I was looking for but in a covert way. Knowing I wasn't going back to that other board I made it my mission to get Power Boaters a little respect here and to answer what I could without saying dam hotrod and that is not Coast Guard specs. I figured if I was going to live in the iboats neighborhood my Power boating friends would have to be welcome so that is why I stayed. Since then many other much more qualified folks have joined the board so I guess my mission is over and now it is just a addiction.
<br />I can quit anytime I want.
