On the other hand, at the Big Boater Forum, "Outlaws" have to pay for "Adult Content".

I'm so confused

Acres: thank you. In this Forum I have tried to post replies in a respectful manner. Many of the posts directed back at me have been somewhat less than that. And I think going into the "Big Boater Forum" to steal posts from there was really lame. The issue at hand is what is going to be done about the circumstances at "the Lake", it's not about what I, or anyone else, might have been said in what would be normally deemed a private conversation, though as it was posted in a public Forum, one can't really say that either. It comes down to I can either say it nice, or say it not nice. In your Forum I will continue to be nice. I don't want to give the powers to be a reason to kick me off.

And for the record: On the "other Board" you can register for free and have access to limited areas and post in those areas. Then you can step up and register for what they call either Gold or Platinum memberships. That gives you access to more areas, the "uncensored" section just one of many. There is no "plan or membership" that you can purchase that allows you solely into that "uncensored" section. The bottom line is that in order for one to enter that section, they have to click on and enter that section. So one has the choice to either enter or not to enter. Anyone has the right to do that, just as anyone has the right to choose not to do that. It all goes back to rights. And choices. So no one is really paying for "adult content". Like on Cable TV, you purchase a "package" of stations, and adult stations are part of that package. Then one has the choice to either view, or not to view, those stations. Same thing on that "other Board".

When Jon, AudioFN, got ripped off on those engines he bought, you would not have believed the outpouring of support he received from OSO. I would guess at least 80 people, withing 36 hours, were posting what they had and would gladly send to him for free if he could use it. Everything from "heads", to carbareutors, intake manifolds, exhaust systems, cams, battery boxes, you name it. He could have built new motors with what people were willing to give him. It was both amazing and quite touching. We are just one big family over there, and we are of the 3 Musketeer creed, "all for one and one for all". It's a very special place. It is not a place of outlaws, perverts, misfits, or whatever. It is a place made up by members from every walk of life. For us it is a place we call our second "home".

Acres: I am not sure why you keep bringing up what he says over on offshoreonly but since you have again let me put it to you like this. Over on OSO we all share a common bond/sport. We all like to run offshore power boats. SO when we all talk together it is more like two old friends having a conversation. We laugh at others mistakes, we cry when some one dies or gets hurt, we joke to make one another feel better again. We all are there to help one another out. When you hang out with your friends I am sure your conversations are quite a bit different then when you first start talking to a new person that you just met. That is what is going on btwn this board and that one. When we are over there we speek our minds, over hear we argue our point respectrully as this is not our normal stomping grounds. When you all go over there and read our posts and quote them over on this site it is like some one that walks by two friends having a conversation and they hear one little bit of it and then want to act on that one piece of info that they heard.

I honestly do not see what the adult content on our site has to do with anything. I actually think that it was very good that the moderators came up with a solution to keep all that stuff out of the eyes of the youngerl viewers. I know that it is a popular part of the site as there are some really funny posts in there. I personally CHOOSE to not go in that part of the site often but when I do I ussually leave laughing.
