Happy Anniversary Jetboaters.net members and guests!
4 years ago we decided to start a whole new forum with all new tech and we were excited, optimistic but also had a healthy concern about "if we build it will they come?".
Needless to say we did build it, and lots of people have said they love the new site! I have a list of features linked in my signature that help make our home on the internet as functional and helpful as possible - this has made a huge difference in us attaining our goal (provide a forum where we can share knowledge and facilitate ways to better maintain/mod our boats and to connect with other like minded jetboaters).
To that end, we established a core group to ensure we had a cross functional group of admins/moderators so that we carefully managed things with our members ALWAYS at the forefront of our decision making. We wrote a clear Code of Conduct, and do our best to manage to it.
Operating costs are pretty low still thanks to Bruce's careful management of the back end! Thanks @Bruce ! We may at some point ask for donations...but at this point are still ok.
Most importantly, I for one am delighted with how this grand experiment is working! I love the interactions and love how we've avoided too many "internet ego battles"!
Thank you all for helping and making this such a great place to hang out! I've learned a ton! Even on the strangest of topics (like don't put LED bulbs in your garage door opener-who would have thought).
Happy Anniversary!!!!
The below would float my boat!
(I'd probably lose the boat in the divorce though LOL)
