Tampa Trips

[ONESPEED]

No, not in the slightest.

Come on, just a little one????

Boy is this becoming a hostile place.

I think you are misunderstanding. I don't believe anyone here is getting hostile. I think some things may have been misunderstood, but I don't believe anyone has been or is likely to get hostile.

I also don't believe it it necessary for us to wait for anyone to return from vacation to resolve anything. I don't believe Jenny or Marvel are unfair ortrying to push their point of view across. They are two of the fairest ladies I know. I do think they have yet to realize that the vote was a farce. It was not planned to be a farce, an honest mistake was made and it was not made by either of them. Once the mistake was pointed out, the person who made the mistake didn't want to admit a mistake was made and it was allowed to continue.

This issue is an easy one to resolve and while some (possibly me) won't be happy with the final resolution, it really needs to be fixed before hard feelings do come about. I can live with any final resolution as long as it is decided in a fair method.

No reason to wait for El to get back. Putting dives in a local trips and happenings forum excluded many many divers. This is what was voted and agreed upon a few weeks ago. ONE Conch forum for general information, and ONE Trips forum for ALL trips. The old way with multiple trips and marketplace forums many divers missed dives and the opportunity to mingle with locals. This is especially true with visiting divers. Those that did not know the geography of Florida were confused as to which forum to post a trip.
The addition of the Tampa forum was for the local Tampa divers to have their own "chat" forum.
The way it is now, with ONE Trips forum includes everybody!
I am happy to get this resolved and no more confusion. Glad I could help!

Makes sense, great idea. How come I got lynched, flamed, blacklisted, etc. etc. for trying to get a Tampa forum last year ? Did someone more influencial decide they liked the idea ??

Walter is right that it wasn't hostile - but I sure read some condescending tones in some of the posts - which equates to rude

of course i have my moments as well

Cheers

So the clubs are really just supposed to be a chat thread? Then I am confused. We could have just stickied the thread that we kept running for a year then.:shakehead I thought local stuff was to go under clubs. If it was a big event then in went in the main forum. Lastly, all trips were to be posted in the Main Conch Calendar. If the case is that all local trips, local gatherings and the like are to be in the main forum, well just over the last week or so that makes for a lot of threads to moved (not that they have to be). Reason being, we hi-jacked a bunch of new people. Turned their intros into coming out and meeting the local folk

BTW, if anyone hadn't noticed The Tampa thing has been hoppin' with how we have been using the new structure. :multi: Seems people find the area they need easy enough and it has been easier to keep track. More people have jumped in on local diving, more people have been vocal, it has been great

I think if you open a trip up to everyone, then the trips section is good. If I just want to invite some of my fellow Tampa SB'ers, I would throw the idea out in the Tampa area as more of a discussion.

I am kinda curious as to why Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando Mods care about what we do in Tampa with the Tampa forum. Unless they are purposly going after us, Which I don't understand. I guess because some people are here longer then others they think they own/rule the board.

Perhaps, but it looks as if the force is strong within the swordless kitty.
