welcome to all the ex and current pwctoday guys

[waxhead]

i see we are getting alot of guys here now
awesome
welcome madmat i see you just signed out of pwctoday and into here

[Frosty]

Hey, I made it... i like this place... kinda strange being a newbe again.

[Matt_E]

I hope this site takes off....however, I think folks are being a bit sensitive over SBT changing the looks of PWCT.

[SuperJETT]

I hope this site takes off....however, I think folks are being a bit sensitive over SBT changing the looks of PWCT.

It's not just the looks...

[Frosty]

yeah, i just feel like the other site will start to become too commercial and big brother like... or something. I could be way off base here... but hey, I am a conspiracy theorist anyway.

[Matt_E]

It's not just the looks...

Yeah. That's true...I saw part of that exchange about the PWCT Map. :smoke: :(

[beachjunkey]

I like the idea of this site. "By the riders for the riders." Let me know if I can ever be of help :geek:. Let's just ride, man :cool: !

[Matt_E]

We need better emoticons...

[yamaslut]

BY THE RIDERS FOR THE RIDERS..... Not for some corporations bottom line.

IMO SBT has seen the progress of Freeride and the standup riders in general and now they want to get a market share... don't blame them for trying, but I'm not here to make the man rich.... I'm here to promote freeride and have a good time w/ like minded people... the key being like minded.

This site will continue where PWCT left off the day the site was sold. Owned by riders and corporate free......

I have nothing personally against SBT, just not my cup of tea....

Let's show how much we appreciate the guys starting this site, tell your buds around about it and link people to this site... It will be the biggest PWC site on the Internet soon... :)

[SuperJETT]

These aren't good enough?


:wave::whistle: :):nervous smile: :geek::smoke: :( :monster: :fuming: :slapper: :confused: :love: :exercise: :sick: :lie: :embarresed: :shhh::mad: :laugh: :drool: :santa: :jeez: :dracula: :sad: :ill: :dog: :p :punk: :happy: :devil: ;) :plain: :halloween: :zombie::D :no: :hairy: :yes: :o :ninja: :grin: :rolleyes: :cool: :eek:

[Matt_E]

I like the Ninja...the rest look way too dorky.

Shhhh.....this is the best kept secret. Seriously, I'm glad the "feeling" is back again. The other site just lost all of the commaraderie(sp) and is becoming tooooooo commercialized. Like Slut said, that's not what this sport is about. I think the timing is just perfect too. Everyone who was at Daytona is still so pumped from an extraordinary event & now you come back to a site like this. Awesome.....:grin:

[ketsair]

Yeah. That's true...I saw part of that exchange about the PWCT Map. :smoke: :(
why do i miss all of the good stuff???:confused: ya these emoticons are kinda cheasy:love: :wave:

[kawirider00]

dont sell out to sbt they ruined pwctoday, did anyone post a tread their to bail out, my buddies will follow suit to this site

[kawirider00-01]

I made it Curtis

[Mark44]

dont sell out to sbt they ruined pwctoday, did anyone post a tread their to bail out, my buddies will follow suit to this site..........pwctoday can kiss my A$$

I am confused how did SBT ruin PWC Today?

[Big Kahuna]

There is no reason to start up crap on PWCToday, dont forget, that is where we got started.............

[SeaLion]

Is PWCToday down? It won't open for me since yesterday.

[ketsair]

no i've been on

[Moondance]

no, it's still there

[SeaLion]

Weird. I tried from 2 different locations and computers and get the same thing. Nothing. I am using Firefox. I just tried IE and it works.

[SJBrit]

These aren't good enough?


:wave::whistle: :):nervous smile: :geek::smoke: :( :monster: :fuming: :slapper: :confused: :love: :exercise: :sick: :lie: :embarresed: :shhh::mad: :laugh: :drool: :santa: :jeez: :dracula: :sad: :ill: :dog: :p :punk: :happy: :devil: ;) :plain: :halloween: :zombie::D :no: :hairy: :yes: :o :ninja: :grin: :rolleyes: :cool: :eek:

Er..... I only see about 10 of those - the rest show up as text codes. Do I have something set up wrong?

[SeaLion]

It was my Firefox. I am using Fasterfox and the cache clearing did it.

[SuperJETT]

Er..... I only see about 10 of those - the rest show up as text codes. Do I have something set up wrong?

Nah, I wiped out those and uploaded new ones.:twak:

[Matt_E]

Thanks.! :cool:

[SJBrit]

:You_Rock_Emoticon:

Nice! We need some of those on Riot - escpecially "why did I click that link?" !!!

[Phill]

:AR15firing: :rocketwhore: :wizard: :damnit: :Banane36:


Lots of good stuff!

[kawirider00]

theres nothing wrong with pwctoday, i just liked it a whole lot better, the way it was about 3months ago, to many changes to fast, different ownership, these sites are supposed to be a group of buddies whos share ideas and help people out, pwctoday turned into a buisness oppertunity for sbt, they were fine on their own forum, i see this site becoming what pwctoday was

[madoyster]

There is no reason to start up crap on PWCToday, dont forget, that is where we got started..............
I agree today I just got a warning from SBT.

SORRY MY BAD!

[gj_fx1]

can't blame them for that. Actually I'm surprised at the links I still see..

[Mile9c1]

I wonder how long till WaTERhawK finds this site? :27:

[Moondance]

No, no, no.....thou shalt not mention that name :aargh4:

[Matt_E]

Oh, he'll find it. No doubt.

[WaveDemon]

I personally left because of the flood of new peeps with couch and 3d questions that started when SBTontheweb sent all there peeps to pwct. It feels good in here :beerchug:

[Matt_E]

I find that just about every new post here is something I find interesting enough to click on it and read it.

[JC15 :aka Josh:]

It's not just the looks...

I hear that!

[onesojourner]

well I guess I made it over here.

[sflsurfrider]

heres an email that i got from darin about a post i made in this thread:


So far, you're just not getting it.

http://www.x-h2o.com/showpost.php?p=724&postcount=14

Posts like that are not in the mindset of what we're going after,
negative bull**** doesn't help ANYONE. Keep it off the site or you'll
be kept off the site.

I really just don't get you, everyone said you were cool at Daytona
but you get online and you're a negative attitude asshole?


darin WTF is your problem with that post? did anyone else get an email from him or does he still have nothing better to do than to put me under the microscope? when i talked to magoo at daytona, he said "anything goes, but try to be good". was my post really that terrible?:bigeyes:

darin, lighten up man and stop moving my posts all over the place because you have nothing better to do.

[SuperJETT]

Charlie, I'm not gonna put up with negative crap on this site. Bashing SBT does noone anygood, much less the sport. Take it somewhere else.


So far you one 2 things have had to be moderated, and surprisingly they both involve you.

i disagree. only one thing had to moderated and i will agree with that.

me saying "fpwct" is exactly how i feel. sorry if it hurts you that i dont like some corperate website. i still feel that it wasnt moderation-worthy. i think you over reacted on it. especially since many others are pretty much saying the same thing and the ones that arent saying it are certainly thinking it.

[michael950]

Good luck SBT. I will stop posting on a regular basis, kinda weird but the attitudes of some members changed (mostly those here, myself included). I think it is because there is a differnent feel, a commercial motivation. Kind of like an auto mfgr that has forums on their site. Just think that Thunderbird owners club, or Camero, Mustang, etc. actually hosted by Ford, Chevy, ...


Tip of the iceberg is the forwarding of SBT traffic to PWCT.

[Frosty]

The way I look at it is this... SBT bought their way to instant access to over 15,000 members of a popular website. In doing so, they gain control over site content to a huge degree. And I complete agree with michael950.

However, it's in the past now. I love this new site and I will do the majority of any on line posting here. Big thanks to SuperJett for taking the lead for everyone.

"Bashing SBT does noone anygood"

Right, but now PPG is fair game :nutkick:

THANK YOU
at least someone sees the hypocracy

[Matt_E]

Mmh..I must've missed a post. Where is this PPG bashery you speak of?

[WaveDemon]

THANK YOU
at least someone sees the hypocracyare you here only because you aren't alowed to post anywhere else? Why not contribute to the new site instead of bashing and threatening?

[SuperJETT]

are you here only because you aren't alowed to post anywhere else? Why not contribute to the new site instead of bashing and threatening?

Drop it for now please.

[justincr250]

I made it over ! Go cubs

[sunny_az]

This feels like home, like PWCT felt 3 years ago when I found it. This has nothing but potential going for it. Too bad so much 411 is trapped at PWCT...guess we'll have to rebuild from scratch.


Thanx Paul, Darrin and anyone else contributing to make this possible.

[john zigler]

thank you paul, and darin. this does feel good.

i hope to grow here wit the site.

[Submarine]

Without taking sides, I'd like to point out that the bashing is part of what made PWCToday what it was: independent, irreverent, and frank. There were very few sacred cows. Sure there were limits, but if they are drawn tighter at this site than what we had, what will be the difference between this site and PWCT?
(and I don't mean profanity and pornography. I understand the need for some people to have a work-safe site.)

Here is a novel idea: How about establishing a rule that if two or more people are going at it to the point where it's too much for the mods/admins to feel they have things under control, institute the "ignore" feature for them and mandate it for a 'cooling off' period of a set number of days (maybe start with a week or something). Forced ignoring instead of banning might work better. Of course, we'd need the ignore feature turned on.
Maybe even have it voted on.

[SuperJETT]

The bashing was not always a part of pwctoday.

And your idea sounds too complicated to me?

It always seemed to be just a bit more reigned in than Rec.sport.jetski to me. It started where and when RSJ hit a dead end. Maybe I'm being too loose in my definition of bashing. I see it as people weren't afraid to speak their mind, not just acting like trolls. If you had a problem with someone, something, or what someone was saying, you could state your piece without worrying about being banned unless you crossed into cursing/threatening territory.

Maybe the Ignoring could just be suggested through PM's.
I've only used the ignore feature once, and I thought it worked well.

But hey, it's your show.

Sub, I agree with you on the debating, that is what made the site so good, but in the past certain members when they came across a good debate they would turn it into their own personal flame zone............. I think we can all work together to make this site be like PWCT was at the inset.............

and yes, I strongly feel that this site needs to stay work safe..........

[waxhead]

[SeaLion]

I can see Sub's point of view.

[JimTMich]

I'm here....

[waxhead]

welcome

[hangtime]

It's just like pwc so far. 4 days old and arguing already :17:
Can't we all just get along .
I will still post at pwc as long as I have friends who post there

Wait until waterhawk signs up ,it'll be an argue fest once again

[zoo]

made it :headbang: wasnt a big poster over on the other pwc site, learned alot over there and looking forward to helping/watching this site grow as i'm still relatively new to the sport. my bro in-law got me started ~4yrs ago riding his XP in surf at where else? :hail: Daytona Beach :hail:

bought a 95 squarenose that next season and been hooked ever since.

[Prem1x]

Posting at both is acceptable. I mean, we still have to convince those couch riders who should have bought skis instead to give a ski a try.

not sure what you are referring too arguing.............

[Jr.]

Premix is right! The sport needs to grow. If we stay this small happy family, a year from now we will not be any better for our efforts.
Please continue to be part of PWCT. Your being there will help all those unfortunate couch riders to see the way of the stand-up! Since the X started a week ago, I have been in contact with SBT / PWCT admins. They seem to understand where we are coming from & what is Ahead.
Both sites can get along well. Keep an open mind & follow the path that suits you.
The stand-up / Freeride craze we are experiancing is unbelivable. The sport has gone full circle back to its roots. In the begining, everyone rode stand-ups for pure enjoyment, there were very few races or promotors. the sport was in its infancy. The likes of Herbie Fletcher & Randy Lane were the Joe Kennys of today. It was Fun to ride!
Open up our world to the squatters. You just might enjoy teaching somebody a new trick!

ski ya, Paul

[Big Kahuna]

YUP what he said...........
