With all the shiny new stuff this week we also have a very welcome change on the moderation front: Two long-time and frequent site users are going to work with me to moderate the forums.
Brian Dhttp://forums.sbo.sailboatowners.com/member.php?u=8, owner of Takara, a Lancer 27PS, and veteran of 1,341 posts on this board will be joining me.
I'm also especially pleased to have Maine Sail onboard. Maine has been around the site since 2000, racking up 1,483 posts. He found us when he owned a Catalina and now sails a Canadian Seacraft 36T.
Both of these guys will be working to keep the place free of flames, spam, trolls, and of course, the dreaded boats for sale.
More importantly, they're also well versed in the new site and available to help you find your way around. They were quite involved in the development and testing. A good way to contact any of us is in the Site Talk forum.
You'll probably see them around more than me for a while, as we have a very full agenda for the next few months:
First, after getting this new site settled down, we'll be preparing the results of the Sailboat Owners' Survey. It is fascinating! We have well over 5,000 surveys collected and amazing input on all popular production boats. Be prepared to spend some serious time pouring over the results. I think the product of the survey will be truly unique and valuable.
But, that's for later. Right now please join me in welcoming Brian D and Maine Sail as new site moderators!
