Hi,
I've been frequenting a wonderful fishing forum full of great local
folks, but I've been wishing for a similar board for boating. I've seen a
few "Canadian" forums, but they all seem centered around the east (as is
can.rec.boating). Is there a boating forum with a West-coast flavour?
If not, I'm thinking of setting one up. Anyone wanna join?

Good work, Psuedo. Right away with the personal remarks. That should go
a long way toward resolving your expressed concern that the group is so
far OT.
Lloyd; You may as well decide to start a buggy whip factory. The era of
the internet forum has come and gone, killed off IMO by the search
engine.
If a guy wants to know why his outboard won't start, how to splice
3-strand,or when the salmon season is open in the Srait of Georgia,
he'll run a search engine. Going to a discussion group provides a ton
of conflicting advice- offered by people of varying crediblity and
experience, and no real way to vet who is talking through his/her arse.
The forum format brings in a bunch of non-boaters who turn it into a
chat room for the exchange of bitchy personal remarks, and extra-bitchy
personal remarks reserved for folks of either more liberal or
conservative political stripe. Look at the mess here in rec.boats. When
a boating related post gets 2-3 responses but a thread titled, "George
Bush is a _________" or "NG participant X is a _________" generates
150-200 name-calling exchnges *that* defines the character and tone of
the NG as it exists.
For gosh sakes, if you start one of these things maintain the ability
to moderate the worst trolls and most destructive posters. Rec.boats is
a prime example of people shelfishly hijacking a forum and filling it
with bull guano. |

Probably true if all you want is advice. (OTOH, I'm trying to get the
modem running on my Linux laptop, and although there's THOUSANDS of
websites with "help", most are out-dated or just plain wrong)
But I now belong to a (gently moderated) fishing forum that's local, fun,
full of interesting, knowledgeable folks, and the main reason I'm now
fishing more than sailing. So it CAN be done!
And yes, I'd moderate it, and probably choose the members somewhat
(There's probably over a millions boaters in BC alone: add the Washington
ones like you, and there's several million. I'm guessing several have
computers, and would like to chat about boating...)

Just another comment on Potential Members:
Note this this will be a forum for WEST COAST CANADA, with some interest
for what you Americans call the Pacific Northwest. So, that rules out
anyone from California, or east of the Rockies.
And THAT rules out virtually EVERYONE on this board, except Chuck.
I'd say that would get rid of all the childish name-calling and politics.

You don't have one of the best records when it comes to getting it up.
Many of us remember your twirl with The Boats of Rec.Boats and the early
pull out.

I'll be choosing my members somewhat. Don't worry: you WON'T be invited!

Sure, "Harry" - as soon as you move to Nanaimo (or at least can tell me
what a Squamish is!)

IMO, the remarks WERE on topic and accurate. His bailout of the
Rec.Boats photo site was abrupt and motivated by peak. His pure
abandonment allowed a spammer to take it over to promote his commercial
site. What did you find inaccurate in my remarks?

This NG was killed off by HK and YOUR rad/lib political BS. And YOU are
one of the worst at personal invective and lies.

You should know as a master of spin and the politics of personal
destruction. IMO, truth and liberals are like oil and water.

Nope. My pullout was motivated my many personal attacks and a lack of
interest in boating in my area. Hence, my interest in a west-coast forum.
I'm a West-coast Canadian - you couldn't hope to understand.

Interesting retort. Suppose that *is* your best defense when presented
with undisputed phacts. Also indicates what a phorum moderated by
someone with your track record would be like. As Mel Brooks said, "It's
good to be king."

That quite an enemies list you have there Lloyd. So, if the only member
of this forum that would be invited to attend your coronation is that
lying architect of personal destruction, Chucky. Why didn't you just
send him an email?
BTW, why is it you have no comment about my factual observation that you
abandoned the Rec.Boats pitcher site out of peak and put very little
effort into it?

Not ememies. Just people who don't understand west-coast boating. When you
can tell me what a quallicum is (or who Todd Bertuzzi is), you'd be
welcome.

Because I was hoping I was wrong about the lack of West-Coast boaters. So
far, it looks like I'm right on.

Nice to have your own little set of facts, Skippy. I'd like to visit your
Universe sometime - what's the required mizture of drugs?

Answered in another post. Unlike you, I don't stay where I'm not wanted.
