I think Jimi broke it last night posting a particularly demonic image of Longjohnsadler.
This could be Yacht Forum's big breakthrough.

A dilemma . . .
- Do we want all that hassle?Blue Moment, is this the opportunity to break into the big time ?
I would like to see a user base of maybe 500 or so good-natured active sail cruising types on here plus the usual handful of noobs and wannabes who would find this a gentle introduction to the art.
More than that I don't know . . . but we have a way to go yet.

Re: A dilemma . . .
I enjoy Scuttlebutt, and some occasional forays into the Lounge, but get a bit fed up with the nastiness that occasionally pervades Lounge threads. Sadly, SimonCR, like Mirelle before him, has, earlier today, jacked it in for more or less the same reasons. I enjoyed their sailing threads - pity they're not on here.
Oh, and it's down again. Quite a long time on this occasion.

So what can we do?
Where do they go, disillusioned but worthy Scuttlebutters, and how can we entice them here?I enjoyed their sailing threads - pity they're not on here.

Mirelle is on Cruising Anarchy as Methersgate 14 as well as a wooden boat forum I think. You could invite him over.

Nice boat.

Nice boat.

We have built it up slowly, often inviting people we admire to join. Some do, others prefer more "activity". Go forth & spread the WORD, for the word is the TRUTH.

I like BM just as it is..... i'm sure you'd like a bit more advertising revenue, but it is nice to occasionally escape to a forum that isn't full of vitriol and spittle!Nick wrote:- Do we want all that hassle?Blue Moment, is this the opportunity to break into the big time ?
