Guess I'd better toss this post out here since all the negative talk going on and such...<br /><br />Why do you come to this site?<br />What keeps you coming back?<br /><br />My answer?<br /><br />To see what comes up next!<br /><br />This place is full of so much diversity. :cool: <br /><br /> :) <br /><br />H.

I may be naive, but I would like to think its<br />for the same reason.<br />Besides the fact that cyberchat can be addictive.<br />and personally rewarding.

Just like to chat with others with similar interests. I used to frequent a hunting forum, but I did not care for the way it was ran, so I left.

Re: Why do you come to this forum and web site?

I mainly came because i like to read the answers to the questions that get posted. never know what your gonna pick up. i also was getting many laughs from the stupid human tricks forum. mostly because alot of them had happened to me already. i still like to browse the motor and the project forums but i guess i mainly come because there are some great people on this site and i like to read what everyone has to say here. for awhile it was something different all the time but latley its the same old sameo.

Re: Why do you come to this forum and web site?

I come to this site because my computer has some software on it that won't let me get to those nudey sites. :D <br /><br />No really, for the help with my boats and for the various kinds of information that you can get here. Would also like to by one of those fancy motors that they sell so i can get rid of my older one. but i haven't saved enuff yet.

Re: Why do you come to this forum and web site?

#1, because I own a boat that at first I did'nt know anything about. Only with the help I have received from this site, was I able to understand what I needed to do to maintain and enjoy my boat, and a place to get parts. I read just about all the posts posted on this site, as have alot of free time at work to do so, and JB is from Texas and so am I. Because of people like SNB, who makes me laugh. Because alot of the topics (current events) discussed here are trully excellent posts, Iboats is a cool site, thanks for it.

Re: Why do you come to this forum and web site?

I come back because I almost always learn something new. I rarely if ever ask questions, mostly because any question I ever had had already been asked and answered. Search function is a good thing. I also like to see the boats, especially the projects. I follow every project, just to see what people are doing. If I have an answer to a question, I'll toss it out there, and hopefully it will help.

Re: Why do you come to this forum and web site?

:D <br />Those were all really good answers. My answer would be a degree or so of all of them.<br /><br />When my wife and I reached goals and finished all our projects, and became empty nesters, we bought a new boat.<br /><br />I limit my technical advice here to things that I'm expert in. <br /><br />While I've never started (my own little check and balance) a political topic I participate in many of them. I rely in the moderators to moderate me when doing so.<br />I participate in political, opinion or social topics because I enjoy it as entertainment, exercise and the feeling of community.<br />And as fact, I'm good for about 5 hours of the boob tube a week, tops. <br />This site and a couple others are all I frequent.<br /><br />While Northern California winters always fall on the weekends and the boats under cover.<br />I'm putting a new floor in the horse trailer this month. And when that's done, I'll be in the round corral evenings and weekends getting my caballo in shape for some upcomming events. <br />So yes, I do have a life. ;) <br /><br />This iboats site is a dandy. It'll get even better too. :)
