ScubaBoard created the Dive Dry with Dr. Bill forum in June of 2017 so members can see all his articles in one place.
Home > Forums > Diving Activities & Specialties (category) > Marine Science & Conservation > Marine Life & Ecosystems
Although the location is highly appropriate, it is in a sub-sub-forum and can't be seen on ScubaBoard's top-level forum list. Dr. Bill was honored but also wanted his new Dive Dry articles seen in the California forums where his work focused. @The Chairman made an exception to the rule against duplicate threads — he was a ScubaBoard Legend after all. The disadvantage was that two independent sets of replies were produced, which is the reason for the rule against duplicate threads.
ScubaBoard's upgrade this year introduced a new "Search Forum" feature that allowed links to threads to be automatically generated in different forums. I just completed merging all replies to Dive Dry threads, which are in the California forums.
There are now two Dive Dry with Dr. Bill "search forums" with links to source threads:

- Dive Dry with Dr. Bill Index in the Best of ScubaBoard category which displays links to threads sorted by creation date.
- Dive Dry with Dr. Bill forum under Marine Life & Ecosystems which displays links sorted by post date just like normal forums.
RIP Dr. Bill
His son posted that Dr. Bill passed away after his long battle with cancer. Absolute legend, will miss seeing him out there. :(
