Guys, it happened, it's done. The reality is he wanted to leave. He asked to leave. And by some freak accident it was deleted permanently. It was the first time it's ever happened (I
think). But it's done.

The mods have their hands full with spammers, and a-holes like me always needing to be cleaned up after. They have enough to deal with. So he deleted it, so what? He didn't mean to, and feels like absolute crap for it. Jetlink is a very big Supra fan, and a good guy. No point in harping on it anymore. PERIOD.

As for Ngavdba leaving, it was his choice. As a true die hard I completely understand him leaving. I have done it in other forums in the past as well. It sucks. Happily I think I can call him a friend, and will maintain contact with him as that, a friend and fellow boater. Many of you here have been very fortunate to know Daniel, and learn from him. He was always willing to help out a willing Supra fan.

The best thing you can do, is to maintain your activity, and make sure the knowledge that you gained is shared. Yes there were great threads and pictures that are lost forever. But I'm willing to bet my boat that 9 out of 10 of those threads have helped someone. And that those people now have that knowledge to pass on. So do it. Follow in Daniel's example and be there for others who need help in saving these great boats. Help others learn what they need, to be able to join the Supra family and thrive in it.

I've noticed here time and time again that people think others are buying Supras just because they are budget boats for an entry level person. Those who think that way don't do the Supra name any justice. Most who buy these boats fall in love with their true potential, and become very Supra family-centric as soon as they realize the capability and beauty these boats have. Sure there are those who are looking for a cheap boat to then butcher with homemade jungle-gyms, botched paint jobs, and goofy wraps. But the majority love the Supra for what it has and always will provide, a way for people of all walks of life, all financial capabilities, and all types of tastes to get out on the water and enjoy the boating world.

So as I try to do all the time, help those who need it on here. Share your knowledge in here. Help embrace the new-comers here (unless they paint shark teeth on the boat), and teach them what you've learned from all the members here. We all love these boats, that's why we are here. Help others learn to love them. Help others learn to save them. And help others to be able to do the same.
