I've purposely kept silent on the "new" rules because I wanted a chance to let things sink in before I threw my =twocents in.
I spent well over an hour on the phone with bOB yesterday so he could attempt to explain to me what is trying to be done. To be brutally honest, I agree that something needed to be done or cruise @ddicts would wind up going by the wayside.
I think the problem is in each of our perceptions of what Captain John was trying to accomplish. Basically, I think what he's looking for is not necessarily only cruise-related postings on the Community board. He merely wants to relocate some things that were filling up that board and thus discouraging any newbies and/or returning posters from sticking around.
The community as a whole can benefit from red stripe's tips. The community as a whole is impacted by the prime rate change. We all want to know what’s going on with the weather. And the day wouldn’t start right for the community as a whole without Maw’s Office Ramble and Tero’s Good Morning posts. I believe the community as a whole benefited from Cruiser’s, “Where In The World†because there were many pictures of places that many of us have not yet been to. I could go on and on, but my lunch hour is almost over.

The Aft Deck is meant (at least that’s how I take it) to be for things that the community as a whole, and particularly newbies, don’t necessarily know about. While the majority of us “know†each other and are concerned about the health and well being of everyone, including furbabies, Friends and Family members, many people have no idea about whom we’re speaking. I never miss an opportunity to say a prayer for any of my @ddicts Family members, whether two-footed or four-footed. As it is, I regularly check out the HAL board, so now I’ll check out the Aft Deck, too. I’m extremely proud of my darling Granddaughter and like to tout her accomplishments. I can just as easily tout on the Aft Deck as on the Community board.
I didn’t want this to turn into a epistle, but I guess it has. What it boils down to is that Cruise @ddicts has always been a great place to come and play. So what if we need to go to a different a different part of the playground to post some things? We still have the best community online IMHO!
So, Buoys and Gulls, what do you say we stop sniping at each other and complaining about the changes and get on with the business at hand, which is getting back to being a great place for cruisers, past cruisers and even future cruisers to visit and learn all about cruising and the community of cruisers we have here. :thumb :thumb :thumb
