Hey Wiley - Where's all the STUFF?!

[wiley]

Those who know me we're probably expecting a ton of content already posted here on ReelBoating when it opened. Actually there are a couple of reasons I've decided to have a soft-start to the new forum and not fill it up with a zillion features yet. Here's why.

Firstly, I fully honored and respected my no-compete clause, even going as far as not mass-informing vendors or others that I had a new forum planned to open. Sure, a few people suspected that it was inevitable, but I didn't broadcast it.

Now that the chains are off the Power Buys, Get-togethers and giveaways etc will soon follow.

Secondly, I will NOT be using vBulletin software. The software I am using for ReelBoating (IPB) is the next best thing. However, IPB has a 100% totally new version of this forum software ready to roll out in the next few months so rather than doctor it all up right now I am going to stick with the basic modifications until that time.

Your posts, articles, photos etc WILL carry over to the new forum layout so please post away as usual.

Lastly, I want us all to build this forum together. Yes, I have a bucket full of ideas and plans, but we'll roll them out over the next few weeks.

Enjoy!

Wow, found a new boating forum. Some of the guys here even have the same names as another one I visit!

My favorite way of doing things is to start humble and then turn into a monster!
