Dockside Chat Here to talk not only about boating but just want to enjoy the huge community of members at iboats? This is the place for you! This area is highly moderated so please keep it clean, be respectful of others and just be nice.

Chasing away members in-mass is no way to promote DC. Deal with the problem members, on a case by manor.

it has been done, if we loose friends, we will miss them. that is the cost of our being able to keep, Dockside. it was on the chopping block. it was totally out of control.

Not looking to lay blame...........but it seems to me IF the original guide lines/rules had been enforced right along DC would never have been on the chopping block. I haven't been here long relatively speaking. But I learned in short order which posters and post belonged in my why bother section, and avoided them.

LT, you are correct. We got "lazy" and let it get out of hand and we are making a correction and getting it back.

Re: My opinion FWIW

How old do you have to be, to be an old Cellar Dweller. Does that come after or before Ancient Mariner.

It was just one of those periods of time BB when certain ones in this forum were called that because they never posted anywhere else on the forum. They were considered a waste of bandwidth by some and in turn got that name. At least that is the way I understood it. It was one of those things that you had to be there to be one.
