Look What I Received Today

I re-upped my membership there this year but that was before this site came about. I dabbled with Speedfreak but it seemed like a copy of OSO. So far this site has a good feel and I like it here. Its got that hands on touch and the controllers love the sport.

Hmmmm, What should I do ? :rolleyes:


Here was mine from July



Not any one big thing just a lot of small items. Loading of pictures
swap shop, Concept forum, people getting banned others not.
Maybe I'm over reacting, but just didn't feel right for me.

Thank you for taking the time to ask.

Hi Brooks,

Is there a reason why you wouldn't be interested in extending?

here's the deal - I really didn't have problems over at OSO and I'm not against corporations big or small, per se. BUT, when any organization doesn't respond to reasonable requests and/or doesn't communicate, then they've cast a vote against me and I will respond in kind. Thanks Dave for the invite over here this is now home and a big thanks to Mr. Sunkin. - Jeff

Good point of view, I can agree with that.

But...(there's always a butt:D), I'll support the corporations that provide me with what I need, what I don't need is a corporation running my community.
That is what this is afterall, our community. They provide us nothing that we can't provide ourselves, hence the birth of SOS. We're all here for our friendship, and knowledge - no more, no less. This will be a nice lesson for them. You can't dictate community, the community will pack up and move.
 
Another thing that irks me:
"Yours,
Offshoreonly.com Team"

Who is this team? Who am I speaking with? Who's on the other end? Beenish? Phuck Beenish! The day it became impersonal, I said good bye. Too bad, too, because I vehemently supported OSO for 8 years! I supported Steve, and my friends. I will not support a corporation that benefits from my friendships, knowledge, and advice. That's free to my friends, everyone else can kindly Phuck off. :D

Note to all admins and mods.....sign your real name to your PM's and e-mails on Serious Offshore, otherwise Nick will be pissed :biggrinjester::rofl:
 
You know in all fairness, I have met such a fantastic group of people on OSO and it is a shame it's working out this way (well, maybe not really) but it goes to show that without the personal attention that Jeffrey and then Steve put into it, it is just a shell. Hopefully we can develop and maintain this site with that ideal and make it bigger and more successful than it's predecessor.

I'm with you, but there is always a but, focused on successful not so much on bigger.

The IB team only checks in when things get bad or complaints come in... Oh and BTW Beenish quit the week after the site was appointed to her - guess her skin wasn't think enough!!!
