well i have been reading this forum for about a year and a half on and off. because i kitesurf i have mainly lurked on seabreeze but have always had an interest in land kiting so i kept visiting. now that you guys have a kitesurfing section it gave me a reason to sign up but these messages here sort of made me want to signup more. seabreeze is a mess and people arguing everywhere because there is no rules that anyone follows, you only need to read the forum for 5 minutes to see that it is chos, so i dont post on there much. this place has been growing over time but over the last 6 months it has really gotten bigger before i would read the same stuff from the same group of people all the time and it gave it a really small closed group feel like you cant get in on a conversation. but reading it more and more lately the forum is opening up and more faces seem to be appearing, i am one of those faces. with the forum opening up more there will be more people coming here and so rules need to be made so that this place doesnt turn into a circus like seabreeze because right now that is what is happening. i read a message about someone resigning here so dont know if they were a staff person but i dont think they need to leave a goodbye message to draw attention to themselves the best thing to do is not to put messages to those messages because thats what they want you to do so they feel like they have support.
this forums from what i have been reading is very slack and everyone seems to thing they have a right to piss where they like just like on seabreeze and it isnt good. personaly i would like to see the rules made and then put here because if everyone can keep saying what they want now then it is going to be harder later on to put any rules here. im not reading everything up the top but some of it is good. dont like when i start reading about something then the end i am reading something else, sometimes it is ok but not all the time when the message title is one thing and inside it is something completely different. some forums have a whinging and fighting forum to keep this stuff there. this place is growing because of the good work being put in and sometimes when things change old people just want to whinge but there will be more new people then old people.
peace, toeside.
