I agree 100%k9th wrote:This site is NOT a chat room, was never intended to be, and never will be. Those who join, as we all have, need to use it as it was intended by its owner and not try to change it. There are plenty of chat rooms on the web, several of them about nautical and marine subjects. I am sure that hosting this site is not a cheap endeavor, and the owner is not under any obligation to keep it open. Just in the past couple of years he has accepted donations from supporters so that the banner ads could disappear. The banner ads were helping to underwrite the cost of maintaining the forum. I am thankful that many contribute and I try to contribute as much as I can to help, but I consider it a privilege to be here and have this forum - not a right.
I, for one, don't care for chat rooms, but I do enjoy the discussions on the Trojan Boat forum. But when those discussions spiral down into chat-style bantering and non-sense, and totally leave the subject matter first expressed in the thread, those discussions need to be brought here - to this forum where anyone is free to express things of that nature. That is obviously why the owner created separate areas so that those who want to have guided discussions about as specific topic can do so and those who want to chat and banter can do so - just not in the same area.
Just my 2c.
