At the request of a few in the past, a revisit of a forum set up and tested a while back, perhaps it is time to offer the use of the discussion forum for those who are interested and want to engage in multihull only discussions. You will notice the board was established quite some time ago - and just wasn’t promoted because of this forum site.
At the risk of losing those new to - or interested in - multihulls due to some of the past exchanges on this board, I would invite anyone interested to register and begin making use of the “Multihull Board” at the following location.
I can assure you it will allow less attack freedom and less site vandalism than found here. It will be moderated, and while fun, jokes, and good humor jabs are allowed, it will not degenerate into what has been witnessed here - several times!
The site is located at:
http://formula48.proboards13.com/index.cgi?action=login2
There is no cost, it is open for free viewing, but registration to post will be required.
There are several general topic areas and two specific topic areas reserved. A “FOILERS” section and a “FOR SALE” section for personal and commercial sales. While focused on multihulls, the discussion of related monohull topics is welcome and encouraged. Other than one or two more hulls, and no lead keels, multihull sails, rigs, building ideas, radio layouts all are similar.
<font color=“green”>A special note to Doug - regardless of your past actions on WindPower and this site, you still have a personal invitation to participate on the board, but be sure to read what you agree to when you register (if you do) and you are welcome to add your views, ideas, and opinions provided the general topic remains under the proper area.</font id=“green”> Those who post will not have freedom to “shotgun” topic posts all over the board. This should provide some continuity for topics, rather than having to jump to several forum topics to get the entire picture.
And also - in general to any thinking of participating - as noted the Board will be moderated, and the board “team” reserves the right to modify, delete, or remove ANY post that is found objectionable. First time is a posted warning directly in the topic - second time is deleted post and third time - the offending person(s) will be banned by IP address - of which the board is capable of doing.
Please note however, that at the current time, the board has no provision for attachments - either as files or photos, unless they are located and available by “http - URL address”
