    I remember noticing other oversights on their website that should've been corrected a long time ago. Those mistakes were not misrepresenting a product for gain, more like typos and outdated info. It can happen even with a big company. I can tell you they're very busy with something new going on all the time, feels like they're always trying to catch up. Figure it's been this long and they still don't have their own flat lens solution. I would've made that top priority. Not that I'm complaining :)

    For nightlife hit Babalu's on Yorkville st. downtown, it's a latin dance/bar. If you don't like it there are a bunch of other clubs/bars nearby.

    When you cook something you're always diminishing its nutritive value. Although with some things cooking is the only way to get some nutritive value out of them, fish don't usually have to be cooked.

    I think Tony is just laid back and doesn't care about what a lot of people do on spearboard

    Welcome Lee.


    Moving some of the welcome posts from the other thread to this one and editing to maintain continuity got confusing, and I may have deleted something by accident. If so my apologies to the member/s who's posts were deleted.

    I talked to Lee about this situation, here's my take on the grogan's modus operandi. Lee/bulit7 has been a member of SB for 4 years. During this time he always had a signature with a link to his business website Atlantic Offshore Yacht Services, nothing to do with spearfishing directly and so no cause for concern for anyone who's paying for advertising on SB. When the grogan needed his boat repaired he wanted to save some cash and barter for advertising on SB. For $700 worth of work Lee was offered to put a link to his business in his signature on SB, and his user name in blue colored letters. "But" you say "Lee already has a link in his signature so what's the point?" The point is that the grogan now informs Lee that having a link in his signature was against SB policy, and it's only now after contributing to the grogan directly that the link is officially allowed in the signature. So in essence the grogan reimbursed Lee for his work with a user name in blue letters.


    I checked SB, Bulit7 is no longer in blue letters and there's no avatar and no signature. It doesn't however say banned, which means the grogan wants to make him disappear without anyone noticing.

    One of the many problems with sb is the lack of regulation and courtesy. Here's a classic example, fairly recently I tried to help out a noob that pmed me, so I gave him some info on a spot. He did well and then after that started posting more and more info on specific spots, so I pmed him to keep posting reports but be more general. He started to be a little bitch about it and whine about how I'm the only one that complains about that. We got into it and I simply explained that no one needs to know the specifics unless they are your close friends, broadcasting it only brings a shitstorm of divers to the area and the more traffic the worse that area becomes. If you don't think seeing a bunch of noob divers getting out of their cars, trampling lawns, being loud as they manly carry their loaded spearguns out of the water etc is damaging you only have to look at the rash of permit parking only signs, no parking signs etc in pv. After that last argument I pretty much had it, sb is burning the good divers with the noobs who can't even take the time to use the search function let alone be civil to other divers.

    Me? I ~`~`~`~`ing left that board and the only thing I'll be doing is posting when I need something, or buy/sell something. SB is done, until it gets cleaned up it will cause more damage to spearos and the spearo cause than anyone will ever know. It wasn't handled correctly because the owner needs a lot of traffic and numbers for sales. It's not rocket science.

    I quoted this because it's most pertinent to what I was trying to say with this thread, and I agree with you. Thanks for your input Chris.


    The problem with Bill Mac is that he's overbearing/dominating with his views, and when he's not winning the argument he makes it personal. I can handle him so it wouldn't be a big deal. But when he's losing an argument (which he inserted himself into or started in the first place) he starts appealing to the masses to back him up and eventually moderators and forum management. When things don't go his way I've seen him play the final "I'm a poor old man" and "If he talks to me that way I'm leaving the forum" cards, pretty lame.

    the jellyfish have decided to make one last attempt at world domination.
