Everyone's got to start somewhere. I remember the old days on here! 41 does seem a bit excessive though.

we should put bob up for prolific poster of the month award.
so far he seems to be confining his talents to yacht forum and ybw - thankfully :)
do you think he may be related to angelica ?

Welcome aboard Bob. Do pop in to say hello anytime you're feeling lonely! :)

Seriously though, it is very difficult to get a sailing forum started in the face of the competition from YBW. BlueMoment (in it's current form) is coming up for it's 5th birthday (Post No. 2) and there are still probably more posts per minute on YBW than BM gets in a day. We love it though and wouldn't have it any other way except for Nick who'd like a bit more advertising revenue.

PS - How many people are Richard, Rich, bobholiday and admin? :hardhat:

It will sort itself in due course. Some will be used & some will be ignored.

Seen it all before. have a look at the Westerly Owners Association which has a myriad organised categories, many of which are rarely used. Westerly Owners Group, on the other hand is a Yahoo group so has no categories & seems much busier as all posts are in the same category!

I hate Yahoo groups!

The Hurley owners are on Yahoo too. Not a good format IMO.

I've sported the occasional dual ID myself in the early days on here.

Nick was convinced he had two Hurley 22 owners posting but I don't think anyone else was fooled for a minute.
