Should Intlwaters Make A Gas Boat Forum?

[Tim Kish]

I don't see the need to create a separate forum, if you have a question or build post in the appropriate forum whether it be gas nitro or electric.

Seems pretty simple to me?

 

[Don Ferrette]

I wont do it without a moderator volunteer!

The sound of silence................

 

[Samuel Hagan JR]

I'll Volunteer.

 

[Robert Pickard]

Tom you can always pull the plug like Tom said if it gets out of hand

 

[TomMoorehouse]

Its like this...... we have a general forum that everyone assumes is nitro and we have an electric forum. But nothing specifically for gas. But I dont like dead forums. I dont want it to sit empty.

Right now I personally approve every new member manually to keep out undesireables. I could open it up for a couple days to make it easy for a jrcbd member to join. They will still need to use a real name.

Uncle Phil just posted this question on Facebook about 45 minutes ago. The problem though is for those that aren't Current;ly members here, you might be getting an onslaught of new member requests.

Right now you've got Sam and I volunteering.

 

[Tony Jacuzzi]

I think its a very good idea, and would help if I can

Yep. I'm on here on the time. I think this site is great and keeps the drama to a minimum. Yes there are intense discussions but it's a great website.

Its gonna open the door to re-educate alot of people that choose to join in as new members to the way we do things here-

But as stated before, - It never was intended to be a nitro only site-

The only way to grow is to embrace change.

Try it- if it fails- the worst said is - We tried

I believe that would be the best of both worlds, all the great people from IW, And A Gas forum together.

 

[Andy Greene]

Heck -

International Waters - For all things H20 RC related

 

[curtis canton]

I'll volunteer to moderate as well if needed

 

[Andy Greene]

Tom , you got a few good names tossed in already to help over see it-

 

[Robert Pickard]

Yes you do best thing is to have a few Gas guys doing it like Curtis

 

[JimZaremski]

I run both gas and nitro and wouldn't mind it here.

 

[chris1088]

intlwaters has never said it was a nitro forum. It just kinda worked out that way. We welcome all propulsion methods.....

Our goal is to promote the hobby.

I agree we are all boaters. Promote the hobby . my vote is yes

 

[TomMoorehouse]

it is done.... I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes well. thanks for everyones input.

 

[Ray Sametz]

Help them get back on there feet if you can on Jim's. but don't set up a forum you can pull the plug on.

PM me Tom... . Don't cross your fingers. Make a business decision from the best information you can get (and not just hours worth), that is in the best interest of the majority of your passion/audience, after all it is your forum. I personally don't know if that's Nitro, Electric or Gas. I do know they are all boats, but I have some input on how this has worked out in the last 2-3 years in our area, with regard to Gas, Nitro, and Electric. Don't be fooled into thinking your kindness can't be turned around (and potentially away from your passion) with numbers. But then again, at that point, maybe that will be your passion too.

Thanks,

David
