Three Cheers for Clayton L !

Clayton, a heart thanks from all of us for the time and effort you have put in to help us get our own forum site up and running. We look forward to meeting you on the water, and please PM me with your contact details so I can drop off that bottle of liquor I promised you. :D

Re: SPAM and Porn Posters

Looks like we have stopped the porn posters so it should be safe to turn on your email notifications again.

For a genuine person interested in boats, it shouldnt be too difficult to add some info in the membership application.

Re: Stowage, Safety and Bouyancy

Great to see a post about boats and not naked girls. (Not that I dislike naked girls, but we cant have them on a family website like ours :) Anyway, Yara has wooden slats mounted on the inside of the hull, and the buckets are joined by a slat which is screwed on underneath, and runs between the fixe...

Joining the Group

Regrettably we have had to introduce the process of vetting new members, thanks to spammers who were posting porn. Please do not be intimidated by this. If you are a genuine boating enthusiast, then just add some details to your profile when you apply to join which will indicate a real person rather...

Stowage, Safety and Bouyancy

from the old MSN site: My 5 year old persuaded me to have us sleep on the boat last night. Yes, boat on the trailer, in the street, but with discreet cover, so not too embarrassing. First thing I realised was that mossie screens are a definite requirement. OK, that is relatively easy to organise. Ly...

SPAM and Porn Posters

Unfortunately we have been found by the spam porn bots, and I am trying to delete them as fast as possible. In the meanwhile I suggest you turn off your email notification of posts. Once Clayton gets a chance to change the settings, or gives me admin rights, we will introduce membership application ...

Re: Google Site

I am trying to delete the posts as fast as I can, and ban the posters. Once Clayton hands me control, it may be necessary to vet new members to stop this. I would prefer not too, but the problem is getting chronic.
