Yeah, the times of Steve's reign will be missed everywhere. He really put in the effort to have parties, banners, OSO boats & trucks, shirts, coozies, etc for all of him members.
IB has, and is planning to do, absolutely nothing. It's somewhat depressing really, because they couldn't have a better "platform" that's already been established, LOADED with great info, and a large number of members even after losing some. I just don't see them doing anything to help promote the site at all, and they will be left behind by SOS as a result.
What I've never understood, is why doesn't BoatFreaks EVER do anything for their site at the big events? They've been around for quite some time as well, but I NEVER see any banners, shirts, and have only randomly seen a boat with their website on the side. I don't even know if that was their "official" boat? Do they just do different things, or nothing at all? :huh:
