What's Up With This Site???

OK Boys. The thing I loved about this site seems to be gone. Not sure if its because everyone is out riding but it seems like getting people to reply to guestions or comments is like an act of congress. What gives??? This thing only works if you REPLY. Take a look at the latest threads and you will find that it is the same few people that reply to everything. Thank You to those few, but we need more. Don't be selfish boys. Chime in even if you think what you are saying has already been said. I come to this site religously and I find myself wondering over to other forums more and more. If you don't believe me, Look around and try to find some of the veterans that use to be here. They are fewer and fewer these days.

Come on Guys and girls, Get with it. Keep this site what it is meant to be. :cool:

It is interesting, I am new here but there seems to be a regular stream of visitors but very little discussion. Just thought it was the way it is 'round these parts.

It's mid-October. Most of the boats in the US have been winterized. It will pick up again in the spring

Winterizing? Crap, I knew there was something I was supposed to be doing last weekend instead of watching football.

I have been traveling like a crazy person recently. I just have not had time to look at the board on a regular basis. I finally gave in and called my shop to winterize my boat last Saturday. I will not have a weekend home until late November.

I always get kinda sad when fall comes. My baby is winterized now. I have also done almost every mod and bought almost everything I can buy/afford. :) I have been spending a bit more time on home brewing sites too. I have not had a ton of things to post about here lately. :)

I've not been around as much because school started back up for me in August and it's been too crazy for me to get anything accomplished in my free time because of work and school.

Looks like most of us have alot of stuff going on this time of year,I know I am busier than a one-legged man at an ass-kicking contest! But even if I don't post everytime I lurk, does not mean I don't love this site!

I have a real reason for fewer posts. I am moved now to Pa in temp. housing until my new house closes. Very busy.. My 4 yr son is so upset the boat is in storage instead of by our apt. He keeps wanting to bring it to the apt but we cant. Gotta enjoy his love for boating.

sorry guys I havent been around much either heck I just realized I didnt have any pics of my boat up so I just did that. Between work, moving into another house, boating and wakeboarding events its been crazy, but hopefully that is going to slow down other than hutning season so Ill be around more. Hope everyone enjoyed there summer were still out riding some but its starting to cool down pretty quick

It always slows down in the off-season. Many years ago we could go months without a new post.

As far as my own posts are concerned. I will only post in a topic if I am knowledgeable on that particular topic and feel I can make a meaningful contribution. I will not post uninformed static only for the purpose of upping my post count. My personal philosophy on posting is quality over quantity. I am not suggesting that others must follow this philosophy, y'all are free to post as you see fit. However, those that post information or advice that I consider to be dangerous should expect to be called on it.

Just two measly cents from an old salt on this forum.

So you made the move... Hope it's working out well for you. Hope to see you on the river in the spring!
