Suggestion What I Most Dislike About Scubaboard

[Eastwest]

I wish Scubaboard give us divers who pay a little dough more time with their post on line than those who pay nothing and bury your post in a few minutes or so . Cough up some dough all you cheapos if you do not like what I say !! And have a nice day Rumdumb

I think reaction score/messages tells you more than the raw number of reactions. Anything approaching 1 tells you the poster either consciously tries to be useful or is a heck of a story teller.

I try to keep it at a 2:1. I don't have to post as often that way.
Looks like I am slacking at the moment.

I have ventured into that realm occasionally, after which I slap myself soundly on the face and return to the world of scuba.

Now now, it's a fun place to banter and get butt hurt until you realize it's only the internet and nobody cares.

I support the site with cash because I like what it’s become and want it to stay that way. The real supporters are the ones providing the content I come here for, for free! It’s more a community than a business. Letting pay-to-posters and advertisers push meritorious posts down would not increase its value to me, we already have Facebook et al for that.

Can I sell stuff yet

Hold it! You’re a Sponsor???? When did that happen? How did I miss it?? Obviously my wife is taking up too much of my time.

By the way, did this make the thread jump to the top of the new post list?

The people with the really big reaction scores are the regular members of the Pub, where they regularly engage in political banter that has absolutely nothing to do with scuba. If you pull down the member tab to see the names with the highest reaction scores, you will see that every one of them is a regular of the Pub. For about 90% of them, it is very unusual for them to post in any of the threads pertaining to scuba. I sometimes wonder if some of them actually dive.

Never been to the pub, have zero interest. Also don't track anyone's reaction scores at all (nor my own). If the thread title is in a subforum I frequent I usually read it. If I have something to say I say it

Great to see this thread goes and goes and not to long be gone . So this thread is not only about me , I became a paying member only last year . Listen closely Scubaboard could use all the financial support especially after COVID so my advice is spend 40$ become a paying member or go fly a kite ! Rumdumb and thank you God , not another war yet

It's like listening to a drug addict proclaim the goodness of whatever their vice is...

I just checked. Your post put this on the top of the “new post” list. Congratulations!!
